3 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Barkley is just being rested ahead of the Week 17 contest against the Chicago Bears, and the Giants don't have any plans of shutting him down for the final two regular season games. Expect the 24-year-old to return to practice on Thursday and Friday and be fine to play this Sunday. But in an anemic Giants offense, fantasy managers haven't been able to expect much from Barkley, and Devontae Booker has been eating into his limited touches. Barkley has double-digit carries in each of the last five games, but he hasn't exceeded 16 carries or gone over 64 rushing yards and hasn't scored on the ground since Week 4. The limited ceiling in this atrocious offense makes Barkley a low-end RB2 to close out the year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
