The Facts: The Giants have placed a number on how long they expect him to be out. Barkley is in line to miss between four and six weeks.

Diehards Line:Now that we have a definitive timetable for Barkley it's much easier to confidently pick up Wayne Gallman, Barkley's primary backup. He won't produce the same numbers as the elite back but he will get the starter's touches. Barkley's return is subject to change depending on how his recovery progresses but he should be back for fantasy playoffs.
