  • Finds end zone in finale

    Barkley carried the ball 17 times for 92 yards and a touchdown and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Most of his production came on a 68-yard TD run late in the third quarter that proved to be the final points of the season for the Giants. Barkley had a strong finish to 2019, gaining 539 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns over the final three games, and on the season he amassed 1,003 rushing yards and six TDs on the ground while catching 52 of 73 targets for 438 yards and two more scores despite missing three games with an ankle injury. Assuming he can stay healthy next year, expect Barkley…read more

  • Piles up 279 scrimmage yards

    Barkley carried 22 times for 189 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Redskins. He also caught four passes for 90 yards and another score in the 41-35 win.

    Analysis: Barkley gashed the Washington run defense for 8.6 yards per carry, with his best effort resulting in a 67-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He was also a huge factor in the passing game, adding a 33-yard touchdown catch en route to his best receiving output of the season. Barkley now has 422 yards from scrimmage to go along with four touchdowns over the last two weeks, and he'll look to finish the season strong next Sunday at home against the Eagles.

  • Delivers best game of season

    Barkley rushed 24 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns while adding four catches for 31 yards on five targets in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Barkley doubled his season rushing touchdown total, converting from one yard out in the third quarter and adding a 10-yard score six seconds into the fourth. He also topped 100 yards on the ground for the first time since Week 2. Barkley hasn't lived up to his billing as an early first-round pick in most fantasy drafts, but all will be forgiven if he continues to shine when it matters most in the fantasy playoffs. He had a potential third rushing score vultured by Javorius Allen with the game…read more

  • Quiet against Eagles

    Barkley rushed 17 times for 66 yards and caught three of four targets for one yard in Monday night's 23-17 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Barkley was bottled up fairly well, as his long rush of the night went for only 11 yards. The tailback also barely produced anything in the passing game, keeping him under 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth time over his last eight outings. With just two touchdowns over that same span, Barkley has certainly struggled some in his second season, but he next faces a Dolphins defense that's surrendered the third-most total yards and rushing yards thus far, offering hope for improvement in Week 15.

  • Tallies 115 yards in loss

    Barkley ran for 83 yards on 19 carries and added 32 yards on three catches during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Barkley was a strong play Sunday against a strong pass defense in wintery elements, and the sophomore back didn't disappoint, topping 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 8. Barkley has incredible talent but has struggled both with an ankle injury earlier in the season and defenses keying on him with rookie Daniel Jones under center. He averaged 137.0 yards from scrimmage per game and a touchdown in two outings with Eli Manning, while he's mustered 80.1 such yards per game…read more

  • Limited in loss

    Barkley rushed 17 times for 59 yards and caught two of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Chicago's defense did a good job of limiting Barkley, especially as a receiver out of the backfield, as he set season lows in both catches and receiving yards. Barkley has been mostly a decoy in the red zone, as he remains stuck on just two rushing touchdowns and one receiving score this season. He's also failed to eclipse 100 yards on the ground since doing so in each of the season's first two games. Barkley will hope to get back on track when the Packers come to town in Week 13.

  • Not on Wednesday's report

    Barkley (shoulder) wasn't listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Coming off a Week 11 bye, Barkley is past the shoulder injury that he picked up in the Giants' last game Nov. 10 against the Jets. In the aftermath of his worst performance of the season -- 18 touches for 31 yards from scrimmage -- he relayed he has no desire to be rested at any point down the stretch, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. With his health now intact, Barkley will turn his focus first to Sunday's matchup with the Bears, whose defense has allowed 129.7 yards from scrimmage per game and…read more

  • Plans on maintaining big workload

    Barkley (shoulder) has no interest in being rested down the stretch of this season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "The mindset of sitting me out and resting me for the rest of the season is beyond me," Barkley said. "I do not agree with it. It won't happen."

    Analysis: Barkley heads into a Week 11 bye nursing a minor shoulder injury, and he may also be dealing with some impact from the high-ankle sprain he suffered in September. However, he said health hasn't been a factor in his recent struggles on the ground, noting that he's still been able to make defenders miss when he's found some open space. With his shoulder expected to be fine, Barkley likely will handle his usual workload when the Giants return to action Week 12 in Chicago. The idea of scaling back…read more

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Barkley underwent an X-ray on his shoulder after Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Barkley sat out Weeks 4 through 6 due to a high right ankle sprain. In four games in the meantime, he's been bottled up on the ground, posting increasingly worse YPC marks, with the nadir a 13-carry, one-yard performance versus the Jets. Despite the less-than-stellar work as a rusher, he's made his usual contributions through the air, averaging 5.5 catches for 46 yards per game. While his shoulder appears to be what's hindering him at the moment, Barkley will benefit from the Giants' Week 11…read more

  • Team encouraged after X-rays

    Coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that Barkley is feeling much better after the running back was banged up in the aftermath of Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The Giants haven't specified a particular injury for Barkley, who was sent in for an X-ray following the Week 10 loss. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Shurmur expressed that he was pleased with the results of Barkley's examination and indicated that the Giants have no plans to shut down their franchise back for the season. Since returning from a three-week absence due to a high right ankle sprain, Barkley has struggled to find open running room over the Giants' past four games,…read more

  • Banged up in loss to Jets

    Barkley rushed 13 times for one yard and caught all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: You read that right. Barkley mustered just one yard on the ground. He looked like a shell of himself throughout the game, and it was revealed postgame that he's going in for an X-ray. When pressed on the topic, coach Pat Shurmur wouldn't elaborate besides saying that Barkley got banged-up. With the Giants now 2-8, it wouldn't be surprising to see Barkley miss time rather than continue trying to play at less than 100 percent.

  • Held to one big play

    Barkley rushed 14 times for 28 yards and caught six of eight targets for 67 yards in Monday night's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Barkley was bottled up on the ground, where his longest rush of the night went for only eight yards. Nonetheless, he was able to explode for a 65-yard reception during the second half, somewhat salvaging a down performance. In fact, other than the Week 3 game in which he hurt his ankle and was forced to exit early, Monday marked Barkley's first contest this season with neither 100 scrimmage yards nor a touchdown. The superstar tailback will look to bounce back in Week 10, but his matchup…read more

  • Scores receiving touchdown

    Barkley carried 19 times for 64 yards while catching eight of 10 targets for 79 yards and another score during Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Barkley struggled to run the ball for the second straight game, averaging just 3.4 yards per carry against a respectable Lions front. He made up for it by nearly doubling his receiving yardage total for the season and adding a four-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Although Barkley's ankle injury disrupted his start to the campaign, he has exceeded 130 scrimmage yards three times in five appearances while adding three total touchdowns. His next opportunity to contribute will come in a…read more

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Barkley (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of his return last weekend following a three-game absence due to a right high-ankle sprain, Barkley experienced some lingering soreness, but it was never viewed as a major concern. After a limited showing in the Giants' first practice of Week 8 a day earlier, Barkley erased any concern about his health by putting in a full workout Thursday. He'll fill his normal three-down role Sunday against the Lions and profiles as one of the top fantasy plays at running back this week.

    Barkley (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday that Barkley is dealing with "game soreness" and is expected to suit up Week 8, per Duggan. Barkley returned to action in last weekend's loss to the Cardinals after missing the previous three contests due to a right high-ankle sprain. Barring any setbacks, it appears the star running back will be a go for Sunday's game against the Lions, despite starting the week limited.

    Barkley notched 18 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown while reeling in three of five targets for eight yards during Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Afterward, Barkley elaborated on his return from three games missed due to a high right ankle sprain. "I think I did fine. I know I felt fine, but didn't do enough to help my team win," he told Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger. "I was able to take my normal workload. Physically, I feel good." At one point in the third quarter, Barkley had the ankle re-taped, but otherwise he seemed to be back to normal, as no other Giants running back earned a touch Sunday.

    Barkley (ankle) said Thursday that there's "no doubt" in his mind he can handle a full workload Sunday versus the Cardinals, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Barkley's comments were made after he managed another full practice Thursday, his second in as many days. Despite the positive development, the Giants still may give him a game-day designation upon the release of Friday's injury report. Barkley aside, the Giants' backfield seems to be getting healthier, as Wayne Gallman practiced fully Thursday as he works his way through the concussion protocol.

    Analysis: Barkley's full participation offers a strong sign that he'll be ready to go for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals after missing the previous three games due to a high-ankle sprain. Tight end Evan Engram (knee) was also listed as a full participant Wednesday, so rookie quarterback Daniel Jones will likely benefit from the return of two of his top weapons Week 7.

    Analysis: The same goes for Evan Engram (knee) and Sterling Shepard (concussion), with the Giants looking to get back to full strength for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Each of the three are likely headed for a "limited" designation on the Wednesday practice report, but it isn't out of the question for Barkley or one of the others to log a full practice.

    Analysis: The Giants are getting an early start on practice following a Thursday game in Week 6, but they won't actually release an injury report until Wednesday, so it isn't clear if Barkley is a full participant or still limited. He reportedly is taking part in team drills Monday, while Sterling Shepard (concussion), Evan Engram (knee) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) all are limited to individual work.

    Analysis: Barkley missed a third straight game Thursday against the Patriots, ruled out on the final injury report after managing limited practice participation throughout the week. He was spotted running at the team facility Friday, showing no sign of any setbacks in his recovery from a high ankle sprain. Barkley hopes to return for a game against Arizona on Oct. 20.

    Analysis: There was hope Barkley would be able to return just two and a half weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain, but the Giants won't press their luck with the workhorse running back. With No. 2 option Wayne Gallman (concussion) also sidelined, the backfield will be headed by Jon Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny in Week 6.

While Barkley looked to be moving around well in the portion of the session available to the media and is seemingly ahead of schedule in his recovery from right high-ankle sprain, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com relayed earlier Tuesday that the star running back isn't expected to be available for Thursday's game against Patriots.

    Barkley (ankle) is now considered unlikely to play in Thursday's game against the Patriots, sources tell Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Barkley sat out a second straight game over the weekend while managing the high-ankle sprain, but his ability to practice on a limited basis last Friday seemingly put him on track to return in Week 6. Even though reports have indicated that Barkley is making tremendous progress in his recovery, he's still only 16 days removed from an injury that initially called for a 4-to-8-week timeline for a return. With that in mind, the Giants look to be leaning toward holding him out on a short week, but…read more

  • Week 6 return possible

    Coach Pat Shurmur relayed Monday that "there's a possibility" Barkley (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Barkley was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, which is a good sign, but the star running back is far from a lock to return to action Week 6. With Wayne Gallman dealing with a concussion, Jon Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny currently profile as the team's healthiest backfield options.

    Analysis: The Giants didn't have practice due to the short week of preparation for Thursday's game against the Patriots, but it's still a good sign that Barkley was estimated to participate in some capacity. The 22-year-old was also a limited participant Friday and has apparently been targeting Thursday's game for his return from a high right ankle sprain.

  • Out this week, but practices Friday

    The Giants listed Barkley (ankle) as a limited participant on their Friday injury report, though he's already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: The limited listing suggests Barkley took a step up in his activity from individual drills earlier in the week, giving him a chance to return for a Week 6 game against the Patriots on Thursday. The running back initially was given an estimated recovery timeline of 4-to-8 weeks, but it's become increasingly clear he's a fast healer. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com believes Barkley's goal all along has been a return for the matchup with New England.

  • Officially ruled out

    Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Barkley's quick return to individual work with the training staff led to some speculation about a return for Week 5, but it always was an extreme longshot so soon after he suffered a high-ankle sprain. Wayne Gallman will lead the New York backfield for at least one more game, with Barkley perhaps targeting Week 6 against the Patriots -- a Thursday night game -- or Week 7 against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Barkley was seen taking part in warmups with his teammates and didn't appear to be limited while jogging. While that provides reason for optimism for fantasy players, Barkley hasn't logged any official practice time this week, and it's not yet clear if he will practice at all Friday. The Giants will provide an official update on Barkley's status when they release their final injury report of the week after Friday's session comes to a close.

    The Giants are targeting their Week 6 game in New England for Barkley's (ankle) return to action, a source familiar with the team's plans for the running back told Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York.

    Analysis: Though Barkley hasn't registered a limited listing in any practice since suffering the right high-ankle sprain Sept. 22 at Tampa Bay, the running back has already advanced to the point of running at full speed and incorporating change-of-direction work into his workout regimen. His accelerated recovery has left coach Pat Shurmur reluctant to rule Barkley out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the Giants are ultimately expected to take a cautious approach with the star running back and…read more

That said, he relayed that he upped his involvement on the side with the training staff Thursday, including running full speed and change-of-direction work, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

  • Making progress

    Coach Pat Shurmur relayed Wednesday that Barkley is "progressing" through his high right ankle sprain. "I don't know yet," Shurmur said, when asked about Barkley's availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "It's one of those things, we'll see how fast he comes back."

    Analysis: According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Barkley didn't practice Wednesday, but Shurmur leaked that the running back took part in some individual drills. Because Barkley's activity didn't rise to the level of limited participation on the Giants' first Week 5 injury report, he doesn't seem to be trending toward a return Sunday. Still, both Shurmur and Barkley have intimated that the standout back will outpace his initial recovery timeline of at least four weeks, so his status in…read more

    Analysis: Barkley plans to beat his estimated recovery timeline -- which has been reported as 4-to-6 weeks or 4-to-8 weeks -- and is already taking a small first step in the right direction. His activity Wednesday doesn't mean he's close to returning to practice, but it lends some credence to the notion that his youth and freakish athleticism could allow for a quicker-than-usual rehab process. In any case, the Giants will roll with Wayne Gallman and Jon Hilliman in their backfield for Week 5 against…read more

  • Ditches walking boot

    Barkley (ankle) wasn't donning a walking boot after Sunday's 24-3 win against the Redskins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Prior to Sunday's early slate of games, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reported Barkley has told those in the know that he'll be able to beat his recovery timetable from a right high-ankle sprain. Ultimately, the decision isn't Barkley's to be made, and while it's a positive sign that he's already out of the boot, the Giants still expect him to miss another 3-to-5 weeks of action following the Week 4 win. As long as he's sidelined, the team will entrust the backfield to Wayne Gallman, who ripped…read more

  • Optimistic about recovery timeline

    Barkley (ankle) believes he'll be able to beat the estimated 4-to-6-week timeline for his return, though the Giants' training staff will make sure he's being "cautious enough" during the recovery process, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Barkley will need multiple weeks to overcome the high right ankle sprain he sustained in the Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, but he received good news a few days ago, when Dr. Robert Anderson determined the running back wouldn't need surgery to address the matter. The 22-year-old's own optimism about the injury represents another positive sign, though a return to action shouldn't be considered forthcoming until he resumes practicing in some capacity. Wayne Gallman is slated to lead the Giants'…read more

  • Won't need surgery

    Following Barkley's visit with noted specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, it's been determined that the running back doesn't require surgery to address his ankle injury, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Barkley, who is dealing with a high (right) ankle sprain, will thus turn to rest and rehab and is expected to be out of action for the next 4-to-6 weeks. In his absence, Wayne Gallman will serve as the Giants' starting running back, beginning Sunday against Washington.

  • Sent in for tests on ankle

    Barkley (ankle) received an exam Monday from team consultant Dr. Martin O'Malley and is scheduled to visit foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay on Wednesday for an additional opinion on his injury, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Though the news that Barkley is being subject to additional testing is somewhat foreboding, the Giants may just be trying to determine the best treatment plan for the second-year back while he works through a right high-ankle sprain. On the heels of his MRI on Monday, Barkley was given a loose 4-to-8-week timeline to recover from the injury, but there should be more definition on a target date for his return once he meets with Dr. Anderson. Wayne Gallman will be first in line to replace Barkley…read more

  • Out for 4-to-8 weeks

    Barkley (ankle) is expected to miss 4-to-8 weeks, with the most likely scenario putting him at the longer end of the timeline, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: An MRI on Monday confirmed Barkley suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 32-31 win over the Buccaneers. With his absence expected to stretch through most of October and likely into November, the Giants will move forward with Wayne Gallman as their top running back.

  • Expected to miss time

    The Giants (ankle) reportedly expect to be without Barkley for the next several weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, the running back -- who was in a walking boot and using crutches after exiting Week 3's game -- is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. There's no official confirmation of this diagnosis yet, but those who had been rolling with Barkley are advised to line up a replacement, with an obvious option on that front being his top backup, Wayne Gallman.

  • Confident he can return quickly

    Barkley remained upbeat after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, NJ.com's Matt Lombardo reports. "I'm not out for the season," Barkley said. "I'm going to do whatever I can to get back as quickly as possible."

    Analysis: Early reports suggest the running back suffered a high-ankle sprain, with an MRI scheduled for Monday morning. Barkley used a boot and crutches after he was removed from the 32-31 win over Tampa Bay, doing his best to keep weight off the injured right leg. He compared the current injury to one that caused him to miss two games his freshman year at Penn State, but it's too early to say if the recovery timeline will be similar. Players often miss four weeks or more with high ankle sprains, so it…read more

  • MRI on tap Monday

    Barkley has a high ankle sprain and will go in for an MRI on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

    Analysis: While the MRI should help shed light on the severity of Barkley's injury, high ankle sprains often come with a 4-to-6-week recovery timetable, so a multi-game absence is the most likely scenario for the star running back. Barkley's injury put a damper on an otherwise tremendous day for Big Blue, as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones guided the Giants to a 32-31 road win over Tampa Bay while breathing life into an offense that had been sputtering with Eli Manning under center.

  • Ruled out with ankle injury

    Barkley (ankle) won't return to Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Barkley suffered an ugly-looking injury to his right ankle at the end of a reception late in the first half Sunday, requiring assistance to get to the locker room. When he returned to the sideline, he was wearing a walking boot and moving about with the help of crutches, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. While we await word on the severity of Barkley's injury, the Giants will rely on Wayne Gallman to fuel the ground game.

  • Scores first TD of 2019

    Barkley rushed 18 times for 107 yards and a touchdown while catching three of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Barkley capped the opening drive with a 27-yard touchdown, but New York struggled to move the ball after that. It was nice to see Barkley garner 21 touches even with the Giants playing from behind for most of the afternoon, but it's apparent that his scoring opportunities will be limited by the ineffective offense around him. Still, Barkley's a special talent who should continue to carry the Giants -- and fantasy teams -- on his back.

  • Tops century mark in Week 1 loss

    Barkley carried the ball 11 times for 120 yards and caught four of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The second-year back was just as explosive as he was during his breakout rookie campaign, with Barkley's longest gallop going for 59 yards -- which does make it curious that he only got 11 carries in a game when the Giants' passing game struggled to extend drives. Look for him to see a bigger workload in Week 2 against a Bills defense that just gave up 92 scrimmage yards to Le'Veon Bell.

    Barkley won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Bears, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: For the second exhibition in a row, Barkley will remain on the sideline. There's little for him to prove anyway, but the Giants likely want him to get some in-game reps before the start of the regular season. His next opportunity to do so comes next Thursday in Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Pat Shurmur said he doesn't plan to give Barkley more touches than the 352 he handled last season, but the coach didn't say anything about a reduction. The context surrounding the 22-year-old changed drastically this offseason, with Big Blue swapping out Odell Beckham Jr. for Golden Tate at wide receiver while also acquiring upgrades at right guard (Kevin Zeitler) and right tackle (Mike Remmers). The big problem is the quarterback room, where first-round pick Daniel Jones is expected to spend…read more

  • Massive rookie season

    Barkley finished his rookie season as the NFL's top running back in terms of PPR scoring, narrowly edging out the Panthers' Christian McCaffrey. He also became the third rookie to eclipse 2,000 yards from scrimmage (Eric Dickerson, Edgerrin James).

    Analysis: Barkley's strong showing was thanks in large part to his NFL rookie-record 91 catches to go along with 15 total score. He'll be among the top few players off the board in 2019 fantasy drafts, if not first overall. If the Giants can complement Barkley with improved quarterback play, the sky is the limit for the 21-year-old.

    Barkley carried 17 times for 109 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught four passes for an additional 33 yards.

    Analysis: Barkley averaged an impressive 6.4 yards per carry against the tough Dallas front, thanks in large part to a 68-yard rumble to set up a touchdown in the third quarter. He scored on a two-yard touchdown run later in the game and topped off his day with another useful performance as a pass catcher. This strong showing caps a tremendous rookie season for Barkley, who finishes with a whopping 2,028 scrimmage yards and 15 total touchdowns.

    Barkley rushed 21 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and caught five of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Barkley rushed off left end to get the scoring started on the day with a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter. It was fortunate for his fantasy owners, as he turned in a second straight dud from a yardage standpoint. The rookie standout will look to get back to his usual level of production at home Week 17 against a Dallas defense likely to rest many of its starters after already having clinched the NFC East.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

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
