Barkley's back

Saquon Barkley Headshot

Giants RB Saquon Barkley torched the Titans for 194 total yards on 24 touches. Yeah…he’s back. Not only based on today’s results, or the eye test. But check this one out, too: Barkley reached 21.11 MPH on today’s 68-yard run. That marked his fastest speed as a ball carrier since Week 17 of 2019, per Next Gen Stats. A healthy Barkley should continue to roll as an upside RB1. Week 2 brings up a home date with Carolina.
