The New York Giants have a good problem to unravel at the running back position. Former second overall pick Saquon Barkley is playing on his fifth-year option, and he’ll likely handle the majority of snaps. Coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen signed former Buffalo Bills Matt Breida and Antonio Williams to compete for snaps behind Barkley.
The former is rehabbing an injury, but played in Daboll’s offense last year; the latter has 12 non-preseason carries to his name. Breida is presumably the number two back behind Barkley, but the three running backs who played in Thursday’s 23-21 victory over the Patriots are in a closely contested battle for roster spots.
