3 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) had a false-positive COVID-19 test on Wednesday and returned to the team's facility Friday. He still has yet to practice this week and is expected to miss his fourth straight game due to a low-ankle sprain. The Giants have a bye in Week 10, and New York will be careful with their star running back. Fantasy managers can expect to be without Barkley for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Devontae Booker has been solid filling in for Barkley over the last four games. He rushed for 194 yards on 54 attempts and two touchdowns while catching 14 passes for 124 yards and a score during that span. The Raiders allow 19.4 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, ranking 26th overall. Booker is a mid-range RB2 and should see heavy usage against Las Vegas in Week 9 if Barkley is ruled out. Stay tuned.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
