Giants RB Saquon Barkley tallied 118 total yards in Sunday's victory over Washington. Barkley averaged just 3.7 yards per carry, but it was encouaging to see him hold up on 24 touches. He also displayed plenty of burst on his 32-yard catch-and-run receiving score. Over the past two weeks, Barkley’s earned a whopping 52 touches. That type of workload will keep him squarely in the RB1 mix for Sunday’s tilt vs. the Jets.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley finished with 24 carries for 93 rushing yards in Week 6 vs. the Bills. He also added 4 catches on 5 targets for as many yards in the receiving game on Sunday night. It wasn’t a particularly efficient outing, as the Giants continue to have offensive struggles, but fantasy managers should feel happy with 13.8 PPR points in Barkley’s first game back since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2. Next week, Barkley will go up against a Commanders run defense that was fairly good at neutralizing the efforts of rookie RB Bijan Robinson in Week 6, but a player of Barkley’s caliber should still be thought of as a solid lineup choice.

It'd be nice to get a sure-fire report, but it continues to sound more likely than not that Barkley plays tonight. He can stay penciled into fantasy lineups, ideally with a late-game alternative also rostered. Matt Breida, Latavius Murray, Damien Harris, and Joshua Kelley qualify.
