Saquon Barkley (ankle) status unchanged Thursday for Giants
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was limited again at Thursday's practice for Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
There isn't any concern about Barkley's status for Sunday following back-to-back limited sessions. He set season-highs with 36 carries and 128 rushing yards in last Sunday's 13-10 overtime loss to the New York Jets. Barkley is averaging an absurd 30.3 touches and 114.6 yards from scrimmage in three games since returning from injury. Daniel Jones (neck) will be back under center this week, so maybe the Giants will reel back Barkley's workload just a smidge.
Saquon is the third-highest running back in numberFire's Week 9 rankings and our models project him for 16.8 FanDuel points, with 20.0 carries, 82.8 rushing yards, 4.2 receptions, and 24.8 receiving yards. The Raiders are allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to running backs and their run defense ranks second-worst in numberFire's opponent-adjusted NEP model.
