Saquon Barkley seems to be the consensus #1 pick going into this Fantasy Football season and for obvious reasons. The sophomore back showed flashes of greatness in his rookie year high lighted by his increasing ability to make things happen out of the backfield. Barkley easily became the next man up when it comes to the best fantasy RB conversation.
He’s a beast. He’s a goon. He’s a mother fuckin problem.
*shout out weezy F baby*
But….
Can the Giant RB be trusted to lead your team to the fantasy promise land? Even though he is literally the only weapon the New York Giants have?
The reality is, the New York Giants have no solid wide receivers for the first four weeks of the season and starting week 5 we get Golden Tate back to take some pressure off the Penn State product. And that is bad news for fantasy owners.
Eli’s getting older, the Giants are not a good team, and Barkley will most likely see a lot of rest in blow out game. I have the Giants going 4-12 this year. Second half comeback attempts never include multiple up to gut hand offs to your RB.
I’m not trying to sound like a hater here, but if I Had the 1st overall pick I’m going with my boy CMC.
