Wait, is he still hurt, or no?skycriesmary said:Let me get you some cheese...
Trying to see which excuses those were making for him are doing now?
So is he not a bust anymore cuz he lit up miami and washington?

One of the reason I said he was not having success, glad they did this, in his still busted wasted season.The Frankman said:Shurmur finally started lining Saquon out wide last week more often and today Jones FINALLY started targeting him aggressively. It's puzzling why they stopped putting him out in space like they did last year.
Cuz he went off in weeks 15 and 16 after doing nothing all season?fightingillini said:BTW, Saquon is good.
Im still here calling out the bust, kinda weird u say u never lost hope.SCT said:Buh bye dude. Thanks Santaquon for the title! I never lost hope!
Interesting take.Im still here calling out the bust, kinda weird u say u never lost hope.
Is his ankle still hurting him or nah? lol
This is much like the ARod thread, he had a good game and people celebrated like he was a stud again.
So, im still here, and Quans still a bust.
He averaged 15 points per game in PPR through Week 14. Certainly not optimal but he did not prevent anyone from making the playoffs. My advice to you is to draft better so your playoff hopes don't hinge on one player carrying your team.after most who owned him were eliminated from the season cuz he sucked
This is spot on. No doubt the high ankle sprain hurt him and his owners, as well as bad usage and blocking by Gmen. But in the end, he was a serviceable RB2 for most of the year and so if you drafted well and played the waivers well, you still made the playoffs.He averaged 15 points per game in PPR through Week 14.

I won the title with him and that’s with no Dalvin.This is spot on. No doubt the high ankle sprain hurt him and his owners, as well as bad usage and blocking by Gmen.

And those who made the playoffs can thank him for a Championship.
As did I. Him and Ingram worked well in the playoffs.I won the title with him and that’s with no Dalvin.
You prolly could a got him for a rub down and a ham sammich. But yes, worked out well.Bought really low leading into the playoffs ... worked out well!
he had a high ankle sprainFor weeks 3-14 Absolute trash, worthless. Not worth a roster spot.
Weeks 15-17, he is the guy everyone took with a Top 3 pick.
Still the bust of the year and on most who owned him this years black list
He sucks I dont care what he does, everyone knows when you own a players and he sucks, it dont matter what he does if you are eliminated in Week 14 cuz your stud player gets 8 points. lol
The fact he is doing this now makes it that much worse that he couldnt see these holes early on. Dude literally forgot how to play football and there is no denying that.
His high ankle sprain likely finally started healing up - he clearly came back too early.Who reminded him how to play?
I would love to see the Giants add a stud offensive lineman. Their OL sucks.Still top 5 for next season. Would love to see the Giants add a stud WR in the draft.
He's top 3 RB next season for me. He had a serious sprain and came back too soon. He is still the great RB that he was last season. The Giants will likely address the O line in the offseason. If the Giants have any sense, Barkley is the focal point of the O in 2020.infantsam said:The one good hole he gets he takes to the house.
It wasn’t the ankle, it wasn’t he learned, it wasn’t he got healthy. He and mcaffrey are easily the 2 best RB and Barkley is the best pure runner. Not even close. And the Giants were really bad at scheming the pass to get it in Berkeley’s hands where as Carolina was pretty good at it.
He is easily the #1/#2 RB next year but on the Giants as they are they are so bad you might have to pass.
PFF's case for the accuracy of their fantasy football projections has been seriously underwhelming me, frankly.
Old article, but I bolded the last part because it drove my brother absolutely bugf*ck. You have a power-speed combo and for some reason Shurmur rarely got him out in space. Hopefully they get him some more outside runs in space where he has options on how to attack.The system will be different for Jones & Co. Former Giants coach Pat Shurmur relied more on traditional play-action passes than misdirection the previous two seasons. The running game was more inside zone than anything else.
Garrett ran Elliott to the outside much more than the Giants did Barkley. Elliott had 17 more interior rushes the past two years than Barkley, according to NFL Next Gen Stats data. That pales in comparison to the 121 more carries Elliott had outside the tackle box.
This was a product of the offenses. That gap is sure to decrease -- if not completely evaporate -- this season. The goal will be to get Barkley into space, where he can best put his power and speed to use.

“Throughout training camp, Barkley has looked even more explosive in the passing game than he had in his first two seasons, showing no ill effects of a high ankle sprain that cost him three games and limited him throughout 2019.” #Giants

This could be a harbinger of things to come for Saquon Barkley in #Giants’ passing game.
“He’s athletic, he’s got great hands, he’s got a good ability to run routes,” Giants RB coach Burton Burns said Wednesday. “So yes, we want to involve this guy in every facet of the game”
Hard to argue with CMC in ppr scoring. In my distance TD league, where explosive plays are highly rewarded, he's the no-brainer top RB. I'd take Henry and Chubb over him in this league as well. Some of this is also based on CMC's previous heavy workload, coupled with his lack of explosive plays.
Saquon Barkley rushed 15 times for six yards in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Steelers.
Thankfully, Barkley was able to accrue 60 yards on six catches via a team-high nine targets as a receiver, but the rushing output obviously left a lot to be desire for those who used a top-three fantasy pick on the running back. Unfortunately, this matchup was never good on paper, but even Barkley would've said he expected more on the stat sheet. His longest run went for seven yards. Barkley's passing-game involvement heightens his floor tremendously, but he gets another tougher draw against the Bears in Week 2. He'll be an RB1 on merit.

Joe Judge on Saquon Barkley: "We're going to stay aggressively with the run game. Saquon is a key part of our team. He’s going to be a difference-maker for this team."
Yeah, I'm not panicking.Saquon looks fine. That O line tho...
