Much Needed Help for the New York Giants
So far this season, Barkley has missed significant time due to an ankle injury he suffered in week two against the Arizona Cardinals. He is expected to play this week in the matchup against the Washington Commanders. He has amounted to 207 yards rushing and a touchdown, and will look to produce big numbers in his return.
Over his career, Barkley has gone for 4,456 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns since 2018. He has been by far the best player on the Giants’ offense and maybe even the entire team. His presence is sure to bring some much-needed help to this struggling team.
