Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ACL) is "close to being fully cleared," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "The team needs to watch him through Thursday to gauge how his body responds to the workload. But he’s close," Rapoport adds. Barkley has been trending toward playing in Sunday's opener vs. the Broncos for a while now. We're not expecting a full workload, but Barkley still sits inside the top 20 in our Week 1 RB Rankings.
