  • Sets franchise record with long TD

    Barkley rushed 14 times for 170 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-16 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Barkley set the Giants' franchise record for touchdowns by a rookie in style, going all the way on a 78-yard scamper in the second quarter for his 13th of the season. Despite seeing a modest 18 touches due to the blowout nature of the contest, Barkley came up just three scrimmage yards short of reaching 200. He'll continue to be a set-and-forget RB1 against the Titans in Week 15.

  • Says shoulder is fine

    Barkley said Monday he doesn't feel any pain in his shoulder, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Barkley was removed for a few plays after taking a hard fall on his shoulder in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bears. He came back into the contest and finished with 125 yards on 24 carries and 21 yards on three receptions, making it three consecutive weeks with triple-digit yardage on the ground and more than 140 scrimmage yards. Barkley does get a potentially tricky road matchup Week 14, facing a Washington defense that held him to 38 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on…read more

  • Produces in tough matchup

    Barkley rushed 24 times for 125 yards and brought in three of four targets for 21 yards in the Giants' 30-27 overtime win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Barkley eclipsed the century mark on the ground for the third straight game, although he was less involved in the passing game than in some other recent contests. After scuffling for running room for multiple games this season, the Giants offensive line seems to be opening up lanes more consistently for the 2018 second overall pick. Barkley has averaged between 5.2 and 7.8 yards per rush in his last three games, which bodes well for his fantasy outlook as he heads into a Week 14 battle versus…read more

  • Scores two touchdowns

    Barkley carried 13 times for 101 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Eagles. He also caught seven passes for an additional 41 yards and a touchdown in the 25-22 loss.

    Analysis: Barkley was outstanding in the first half, scoring a rushing and receiving touchdown while racking up over 100 scrimmage yards. He received considerably less work in the second half and wasn't nearly as effective, which is somewhat hard to fathom considering his team enjoyed a lead heading into the fourth quarter. While he could have had an even bigger day, Barkley still managed another excellent performance and is now up to 12 total touchdowns this season. He'll look to build on this effort…read more

  • Dismantles Bucs in Week 11 win

    Barkley rushed 27 times for 142 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in two of three targets for 10 yards and another touchdown in the Giants' 38-35 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Eli Manning completed 95.0 percent of his passes, but he was still overshadowed by Barkley's exploits, which included career highs in carries and rushing yards. The 2018 second-overall pick added his first receiving score since Week 5, even as his reception total equaled his lowest since the opener. Barkley's usage figures to remain sky high when the Giants tangle with the Eagles in a Week 12 divisional road battle.

  • Totals 100 yards versus 49ers

    Barkley rushed 20 times for 67 yards and caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Monday night's 27-23 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Barkley was bottled up in the running game, where over a quarter of his total came on a long rush of 18 yards. The prized rookie has now gone for under 3.5 yards per carry in three straight games, and in four of his last five outings. While the Giants will need to improve their run blocking to help Barkley out, he again made an impact through the air, particularly with a 23-yard reception to set up New York's go-ahead touchdown with under a minute left. In doing so, Barkley hit an even 100…read more

  • Produces 111 scrimmage yards versus Redskins

    Barkley carried 13 times for 38 yards and caught nine of 10 targets for an additional 73 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Redskins.

    Analysis: Barkley never really got it going on the ground, posting a long run of just nine yards as he averaged 2.9 yards per carry. Luckily for his fantasy owners, he had another excellent game as a receiver and still surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for the seventh time in eight games. He failed to find the end zone for just the second time this season, but he continues to receive touches near the goal line and is a safe bet to score most weeks. Barkley will take a breather during the upcoming bye week…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Barkley rushed 14 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and caught nine of 10 targets for 51 receiving yards in Monday night's 23-20 loss to the Falcons. He also successfully ran in a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Barkley once again saw plenty of touches, particularly as quarterback Eli Manning's regular check-down target. In fact, Barkley has now caught nine passes in back-to-back games, even though his 51 yards Monday tied a season low in efficiency at 5.7 yards per grab. The rookie's 3.1 yards per rush weren't very good either, but despite playing behind subpar protection, Barkley once again managed to find the end zone, scoring from two yards out in the fourth quarter. Through seven games, Barkley…read more

  • Monster game in blowout loss

    Barkley had 13 carries for 130 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown, in Thursday's 34-13 loss to the Eagles. He also caught nine of 12 targets for 99 more yards.

    Analysis: Barkley is game-flow-proof, quarterback-proof and offensive line-proof. He's a major weapon in the passing game and capable of taking a play to the house at any moment. No matter how bad it gets for the Giants, a healthy Barkley is a top-five fantasy player.

  • Injury not a concern

    Barkley, who evidently tweaked his back late in Week 5 action, is "fine, healthy and ready to go," according to coach Pat Shurmur, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: It's great news for those stressing over the fact that Barkley came out of Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Panthers a little banged up, especially with the Giants playing again Thursday night against the Eagles. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft hauled in four passes for 81 yards and two scores, to go along with 15 carries for 48 more yards Sunday.

  • Hurts back in midst of big game

    Barkley told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com after Sunday's 33-31 loss at Carolina that he "felt something in his back, not his knee or ankle" late in the contest.

    Analysis: At the conclusion of his second touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, Barkley took a big hit, per coach Pat Shurmur, but the nature of the injury wasn't known until Barkley himself spoke with the media. It doesn't appear serious at the moment, but the Giants are certain to provide a prompt update on Barkley's status with a short week to prepare for a Thursday night affair with the Eagles.

  • Huge game, injury likely not serious

    Barkley, who had a monster game with four catches for 81 yards and two scores, to go along with 15 carries for 48 more yards, left the game with an apparent knee injury after scoring a go-ahead touchdown. According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Barkley was moving well after the game, and coach Pat Shurmur said he was fine.

    Analysis: We'll have to wait for confirmation that Barkley is indeed okay, but the early report is a good sign. Barkley is already one of the league's best backs in a pure football sense, and despite playing behind a poor offensive line, also a top-tier fantasy option.

  • Scores touchdown

    Barkley had 10 carries for 44 yards and a score, and added six catches on eight targets for 56 more yards against the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Barkley is largely game-flow proof as the Giants use him in the passing game even when they're playing from behind. His upside is capped by the team's poor offense, but his usage floor is high, and he's done a nice job of breaking tackles and showing the speed and vision to get into open space.

  • Another strong game

    Barkley had 17 carries for 82 yards and a score and caught all five of his targets for 35 more yards during Sunday's win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Barkley's performance was better than the numbers as he constantly broke tackles and got himself into space even when the run wasn't entirely blocked. So far he's living up to his draft pedigree.

  • Flashes receiving chops

    Barkley rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught 14 of 16 targets for 80 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: While it wasn't the most efficient outing we've ever seen, fantasy owners need to be happy with the fact that the Giants found many ways to get Barkley the ball, despite New York trailing almost the entire game. In fact, Wayne Gallman was only used to siphon one target away all night, and Barkley ultimately finished the day having paced his team in most receiving categories by a comfortable margin. The rookie's fantasy stock is dampened by the Giants' general inability to move the ball, but…read more

  • Races for 68-yard score in NFL debut

    Barkley rushed 18 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while catching two of six targets for 18 yards in Sunday's season-opening 20-15 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Barkley was excellent in his NFL debut, breaking off a 68-yard touchdown run to make this game competitive in the fourth quarter. He didn't get much going as a receiver, but Barkley's six targets were encouraging as far as his future workload is concerned. No other New York player registered more than two carries, suggesting Barkley's locked in as a three-down workhorse.

  • Not on injury report

    Barkley (hamstring) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report in advance of the Giants' Week 1 game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The hamstring injury limited Barkley to one appearance during the preseason, but he had been practicing in some capacity for the past couple weeks. The rookie confirmed Monday that he made a full recovery, allowing for a normal week of practice ahead of a difficult debut matchup. The Jaguars surrendered 116.3 rushing yards per game and 4.3 yards per carry last season, but only allowed 11 touchdowns (seven rushing) to running backs.

    Barkley (hamstring) relayed Monday that he's 100 percent in advance of Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: This narrative was expected, but it's still good to gain added confidence in the rookie back's Week 1 prospects after he dealt with a hamstring issue during the preseason. The next box for Barkley to check off relates to Wednesday's injury report. If he's deemed a full participant by the Giants, then it's all systems go for Barkley in Sunday's opener against the Jaguars. It's a contest that will provide an immediate test for the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, considering the quality…read more

  • Looking good in practice

    Coach Pat Shurmur noted Monday that Barkley practiced well both Sunday and Monday.

    Analysis: Barkley is bouncing back from a hamstring issue, which will presumably keep him out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots. He continues to practice without any setbacks, and at this stage there doesn't appear to be any concern regarding his availability for the Giants' regular-season opener Sept. 9 against the Jaguars.

  • Returns to team drills

    Barkley (hamstring) returned to team drills Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Barkley was seen taking handoffs and "effortlessly" catching passes, making it seem as if he's back to normal after sustaining a minor hamstring strain in practice Aug. 13. He and the the rest of the starting offense will probably be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, but there doesn't appear to be any concern regarding Barkley's availability for Week 1.

  • On track to play Week 1

    Barkley (hamstring) confirmed Friday that he's on track to play Week 1, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Barkley was limited to individual drills throughout the week and didn't suit up for Friday's preseason win over the Jets. He'll presumably be held out of the final exhibition contest, with his focus on getting as healthy as possible for a difficult Week 1 game against the Jaguars. The No. 2 overall pick will handle a heavy workload while Wayne Gallman and Jonathan Stewart compete for scraps.

  • Hamstring feeling good

    Barkley relayed Wednesday that his hamstring "feels pretty good." "I've been moving pretty well," Barkley said after practicing Wednesday in a limited fashion. "I don't want any setbacks at all and that's why I'm following the game plan."

    Analysis: The game plan Barkley refers to likely means that he'll be held out of Friday's preseason game against the Jets for precautionary purposes while he eases back in from the strained left hamstring. The rookie's Week 1 availability doesn't appear to be in any danger.

    Barkley (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, taking part in individuals drills, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Barkley did some conditioning work on a side field Monday and now seems to be taking another step forward. The Giants likely will hold him out of Friday's preseason game against the Jets, but there doesn't seem to be much concern about his availability for Week 1. The next step for the No. 2 overall pick is a return to team drills in practice.

    Barkley (hamstring) didn't practice Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: On the plus side, coach Pat Shurmur noted Tuesday that the rookie back is "doing more and more each day." That said, Barkley is considered unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets.

  • Limited to individual drills

    Barkley (hamstring) isn't practicing with his teammates Monday, but he appears to be moving and running without any problem while doing individual drills on a side field, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Monday marks a full week since Barkley suffered a mild hamstring strain, with his continued absence from practice suggesting he could be held out of Friday's preseason game against the Jets. The prized rookie doesn't have anything to prove in terms of role or talent, and the Giants already saw him at work in a game setting when he took five carries for 43 yards in the first week of the preseason. Barkley has 20 days to get back to full strength for a difficult Week 1 matchup with the Jaguars.

  • Won't play Friday

    Barkley (hamstring) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Lions, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Any shot of Barkley playing in Friday's game disappeared when he was limited to side work at Thursday's practice. Considering he took five carries for 43 yards in the team's preseason opener, the Giants have no incentive to rush Barkley back into exhibition action before he's proven his health with multiple days as a full participant in practice. There's still some chance (however small) he makes another appearance this preseason, as his injury is reported to be a mild hamstring strain, an…read more

  • Spectator for third straight practice

    Barkley (hamstring) didn't participate with the main group during the Giants' practice Thursday and was instead working out off to the side, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: With Barkley a non-participant in practice for the third straight day while he recovers from the left hamstring strain, it's looking unlikely that he'll be available for the Giants' second exhibition game Friday in Detroit. While he was idle Wednesday, Barkley used the time to work on his pass catching, with the running back getting some work in on a JUGS machine, according to Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com.

  • Not in pads Tuesday

    Barkley (hamstring) is on the field in uniform for Tuesday's practice, but he isn't wearing any pads, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: While he's unlikely to do much besides watch his teammates, Barkley's presence on the field is another indicator that his hamstring injury isn't serious. The Giants referred to it as a "mild strain" after the rookie was removed from Monday's practice and spotted with a wrap on his left leg. Barkley, who is considered day-to-day, likely will be held out of Friday's preseason game in Detroit, but his Week 1 availability doesn't seem to be in danger.

  • Dealing with mild strain

    The Giants are referring to Barkley's left hamstring issue as a "mild strain."

    Analysis: The team chose to address Barkley's status because he left practice early Monday after stretching out to make a catch. The running back's left leg was wrapped for the remainder of the session and subsequently examined. Per coach Pat Shurmur, the Giants plan to "be smart" with their prized rookie "as we move along here." His statement suggests that the team will employ a cautious approach, which likely foreshadows Barkley sitting out Friday's preseason game against the Lions.

    Coach Pat Shurmur said that he thinks Barkley -- who appeared to tweak his left leg at practice Monday -- is fine, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "We'll find out," Shurmur noted afterward.

    Analysis: Initially, Barkley's leg was wrapped, but once Monday's practice was over, the rookie running back no longer sported the wrap, though did appear to walk off "gingerly," per Raanan. Consider Barkley day-to-day for the time being.

  • Breaks off 39-yard run on first touch

    Barkley rushed five times for 43 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Thursday's 20-10 loss to the Browns in the preseason opener.

    Analysis: The hype surrounding Barkley coming into his first NFL action was almost as massive as his quads, and the second overall selection in this past draft didn't disappoint. He ripped off a 39-yard run on the game's very first offensive play, making a nice cut at the line of scrimmage before bursting up the sideline. The only criticism of Barkley's performance here was his tendency to bounce everything outside, as he won't simply be able to outrun linebackers at this level like he did in college.…read more

  • Earns fully guaranteed contract

    Barkley signed a four-year, $31.2 million fully guaranteed contract with the Giants on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Barkley gets a $20.76 million signing bonus with $15 million paid immediately. It's an enormous contract for a running back, putting him fourth at the position in average annual value, per OverTheCap. The 21-year-old phenom from Penn State had 2,767 rushing yards, 1,034 receiving yards and 43 touchdowns in his last two collegiate seasons.
