Fantasy owners will have to get by without New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley for the time being. The superstar suffered an ankle injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and was ruled out while returning to the sidelines on crutches.
Barkley became an overwhelming sensation in fantasy circles as soon as the Giants made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He delivered on all of his hype with a league-leading 2,028 yards from scrimmage and 15 total touchdowns as a rookie.
There didn't appear to be any chance of a sophomore slump when Barkley racked up over 100 rushing yards in each of the first two games in 2019, but the latest injury could cause him to miss some time.
