3 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) rushed 13 times for 57 yards and hauled in two of three targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team. Most of his rushing yards came off an explosive 41-yard run in the first quarter. The former No.2 overall pick displayed his quickness and shown his knee is close to a 100 percent on that run. Barkley has now rushed for 83 yards on 23 carries while catching 3-of-6 targets for 13 yards in both games in 2021. The 24-year-old logged 84% of the team's snaps (58-of-69) in Thursday's loss. Despite the slow start, Barkley is a surefire RB1 in Week 3 against a weak Atlanta Falcons defense. Fantasy managers should remain patient with Barkley as that breakout game could as early as next week.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
