Saquon Barkley 2019 Outlook
As NFL.com's Adam Schein recently noted, the Giants’ drafting of Barkley was a home run by almost any measure. The NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year led the league with 2,028 total yards and proved to be a massive headache for defenses through the air with 91 catches. Barkley finished his rookie season as the NFL's top running back in terms of PPR scoring, edging out the Panthers' Christian McCaffrey. He also became the third rookie to eclipse 2,000 yards from scrimmage, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t continue to have ample opportunity to score touchdowns at the same prodigious rate we saw last year. While a more balanced offensive attack would help, Barkley showed he could handle the load. His 261 carries eclipsed those from his backup, Wayne Gallman, whose 51 carries made him the only other Giants runner to top 10 carries. Given the off-season departure of Odell Beckham Jr., an aging Eli Manning is left with a solid but unspectacular receiving corps. So, Barkley continuing as the focal point of the Giants' offense is a mortal lock -- which is more than sufficient for us to rank him as our top back this year. Beyond that (and longer term), if the Giants can complement Barkley with improved quarterback play, the sky is the limit for the 21-year-old.
Saquon Barkley 2018 Outlook
The Giants have been questioned in some quarters for using the second overall pick in April’s draft on Barkley, a running back. Does it make sense to put that kind of value on a runner in a passing league? Perhaps not, but the Giants see Barkley as much more than a runner. Writers for the team's official website are making the case that Barkley's biggest asset is as a receiver, not a runner, and that seems to be echoed in HC Pat Shurmur's view of Barkley as well. Remember: The Giants completed over 100 passes to a suspect group of running backs last year, and Shurmur is a fan of throwing to backs. That means Barkley will likely hit the 300-plus touch mark even if the Giants continue to struggle in terms of running the ball. Barkley has the rare ability to create additional yardage through elusiveness, speed, vision and feel for space in the open field, and the Giants’ upgrades along the offensive line (via free agency and the draft) should help the rookie become a “face of the franchise”-type player. While he carried a heavy load at Penn State, the Nittany Lions’ decision to limit his carries somewhat last season could help Barkley remain fresh over the course of his rookie NFL season. Expect to pay a first-round premium come draft day in order to secure his services.
