RB Saquon Barkley, PHI (4 Viewers)

I was just offered Barkley for BHall. Saquan injury (and history) scares me even though on the surface this looks like a good trade.
Plus, the NYG (offensive) line is porous...
I wouldn't do it, Kee. There's a reasonable chance that Barkley won't be 100% even when he returns and that team is even more of a mess than the Jets. Breece is rounding into form and they are going to ride him now that he seems to be very close to 100%.
I agree. High ankle sprains can linger. I remember owning Saquon in 2019, he had a HAS and he wasn't the same player until the EOY.
 
I got offered Barkley for Kamara straight up the week that Kamara got activated. Re-draft and a Standard league so dampens Kamaras value somewhat. I took the trade because I believed in my team and it was 2-1 at the time ( now 3-2 ) and I couldn’t resist the chance of adding Barkley to a team of Josh Allen/Monty/Amon-Ra/Jefferson and Laporta. Chance to absolutely smash. With some other injuries building up it’s a concerning time waiting to see how this plays out. A calculated risk that could go either way

He’s now offering Barkley and Puka for Hall 🤔

Yeah, that changes the calculus and I might do that. Can you wait to see if Barkley is ready for this weekend?

Yeah… I’m going to stall a bit and see what Barkley’s status looks like. I don’t really need his this weekend, but want to make sure he’s at least progressing
 
Giants listed Saquon Barkley (ankle) as questionable for Week 6 against the Bills.

Of the several Giants who are listed as questionable heading into the weekend, Barkley is the one who should be considered truly questionable. He’s missed each of the last two games with a high-ankle sprain, but did practice in a limited capacity throughout this week. If he’s active, Barkley is best treated as a high-end RB2 in a struggling offense that will roll out Tyrod Taylor under center.
 
What a bummer this is turning out to be. Who knows when he’ll play again and even if he does, that HAS will hamper him all year. An his team absolutely sucks and he’ll be in negative game scripts all year long. I guess I’m gonna have to start Old Mother Hubbard over him this week. FML…

Best case scenario is he gets healthy and they trade him.

I mean, its possible he's a PPR star in negative game scripts.

That is possible, I just do not think it is the best case scenario. Giants may be the worst team in the NFL and I think there are some other landing spots where he would be more productive in.

They have to sustain drives though for that to happen.

Agreed, a different situation could lead to better play, I just thought Barkley was being dismissed a little too quickly as an RB1 even in this terrible offense in NY.

I hope he gets traded somewhere and becomes the NFL 1a over CMC
I don't think anyone in any situation would be better than CMC. Only injury can knock CMC off the #1 spot in my opinion.
 
I hate that it’s Sunday night but I guess Breida is an emergency option though is best case out come is probably getting a 1 yard TD.
I had Breida (he won me week 4 on Monday night!) but last week Gray involvement was not comforting.

I dropped him for Josh Kelley, who had been dropped and plays Monday night. Won’t love that start either, but I think he has more chances to fall into the endzone than Breida should I need him. And actually played okay with Ekeler by his side in week 1.
 
I got offered Etienne for Barkley and I took it. I think the NYG is a dumpster fire and I just don't see even a healthy Barkley performing well behind that line.
Funny, I was sniffing around the ETN manager today to see if he was interested in something like that. He was not.

I don't think I would deal Etienne for Barkley at this point (I own both in dynasty). Hoping Barkley gets traded to a team like Cleveland or LA Rams

I assume they are talking redraft.

The thing is, is Barkley owners have held him through the in so it makes it harder for me to deal him personally. If I’d have gotten an offer right after the injury I may have listened.

But I lost 2 players to IR last week too, so I’m willing to listen to anything!

I agree CMC is in a tier on his own. I was just wishcasting. Saquon was my 1st Round pick- I’d love to get him back in my starting line-up with gaudy, soul crushing numbers

I have hope.

Barkely literally put the team on his back in game 2. If he’s healthy… he’s the type of guy that can do that.

I know his line is dead.

I know the team sucks.

But that offense will have to run through him.

Just like Breece Hall… but better talent in my eyes.

I can easily be wrong. And am really just hopeful.

I appreciate your perspective and it certainly merits deep consideration. Thank you.

I think Breece is better at this point in his career. Maybe that's a little crazy but it seems like Saquon has lost a little juice but it could just be the awful Giants offense he's been saddled with.

It makes it easier for me because I might actually get fair value for him. Right when he was hurt and the timeframe was unclear, you would have to take like 50-60% of his value for him. Now with the idea that he's returning this week you might get like 80-90 percent.
 
Anybody out there starting him with confidence if he plays? I can punt my decision in most leagues and wait a bit but my hedge in one league in particular is not good and I need to get it in before morning kickoff. Would almost rather take a 0 then put this hedge in my lineup.

I’m using him. I am playing him over Mattison and Hubbard. I’m 2-3 and in a must win and those guys are jags and Barkley if nothing else has the chance to do something because he’s special. I’d rather go down with him even at less than 100% then sit him. Additionally, I stashed Lataviius in case Barkley has set back in warmups. I’m not sure I’d recommend this but I am playing him. I just have a feeling the giants put up a fight. Irrational I know…

I removed him from lineups where I have options (even mediocre ones like R. White). I'm leaving him in where I need a lot of points and don't have good options (Spears, Akers).

Yeah I have decent late options if he sits. Just this one spot where I have jack. I liked R Shaheed in draft season but it isn't happening for him out there. 24 point Shaheed game incoming. Yeah gonna go with Barkley in that one.

If Barkley sits, I'd have probably have to go with Dowdle. For some reason he is available.

Rico has flashed some nice stuff. I prefer him over Breida longterm. Rico actually had upside.
 
I am rolling with Kyrien Williams over him this week in the squad that has him. That makes it sound like my team is better than it is at 1-4 :lol:
 
Giants coach Brian Daboll said he personally assured Saquon Barkley he will not be traded.
Daboll said he heard the rumors of a Barkley trade last week, so he went directly to his player and assured him there would be no trade. With the trade deadline less than a week away, it’s easy to see why the Giants would explore a trade for Barkley. Sitting at 2-5, New York’s season is circling the drain and they could undoubtedly get some compensation for sending Barkley to a contender. The two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a long-term extension after a contentious negotiation during the offseason, meaning Barkley will be a free agent next year. Still, the Giants aren’t ready to give up on the season just yet, so Barkley looks likely to remain on the roster through the trade deadline.

Part of me wonders if Barkley received that as good news, or bad news lol.
 
So what do we do with Saquon for the rest of the season now that it looks like Devito is going to be the starting QB?
I'm sure the volume will be there for Saquon but I doubt there will be corresponding production
 
Sure hope they trade him. Was hoping Buffalo. Possibly Baltimore now. Anywhere. This offense is dead.
Just don't see them moving him.. They will up him, but due to his injuries will force him to take lesser then what he wants.

If he wants to move, he will have to rethink his contract needs.

He will be fine. His receptions will go up and Andrew Thomas is back, it’s not like he’s been benefiting from good qb play at any point this season

You start him..

He is probably one of the top guys for breaking a long run and the QB won't matter. You guys act like Jones was Johnny U out there.

The same dilemma with Breece Hall. With Barkley, there's the expectation of garbage time production. With Hall, the defense is so good, that garbage production might be less frequent. This week @ DAL, there might be a entire 4th quarter of garbage time production from the Giants.

Barkley is an will continue to be a more focal point of the offense then Hall is.. In fact, Barkley may get more touches now.

The Giants don't have a choice in the matter given that Barkley will be a UFA. I think they let him walk but may sign him back if he doesn't get what he wants on the open market.
