Saquon Barkley Faces Stingy Defense Against Running Backs In Week 17

Saquon Barkley Faces Stingy Defense Against Running Backs In Week 17

11 months ago

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (elbow) draws the Los Angeles Rams at home for his fantasy championship matchup. The Pro Bowl back appeared on the injury report earlier this week but logged full practices on Thursday and Friday. He has no designation for Sunday. Over the entire season, the Rams' defense is third for the fewest fantasy points to running backs. They've been even better over the last four weeks, jumping to the top spot. Despite allowing the 19th-most receptions to the position, they've given up the second-fewest yards. Barkley won't be taken off the field, being the primary focus of the New York offense. As long as the game remains close, he'll get plenty of touches, including several catches that will boost his PPR floor.
