Summary
When the Giants drafted Saquon Barkley with the second overall pick, many pundits argued it was a poor use of draft resources. A year later, it's challenging to buy into that line of thinking. The goal of the draft is to acquire difference-makers, and Barkley proved as a rookie he's one of the most dynamic playmakers at any position. In spite of playing for a team with a limited passing game to keep opposing defenses honest, Barkley dominated in every aspect. He ran 261 times for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns and caught 91 receptions for 721 yards and four touchdowns. His 2,028 yards from scrimmage led the NFL. Only Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James had more yards as rookies. Even modest improvement in the passing game, or marginally better offensive line play could equate to a historic season for the young tailback. He's got multiple Offensive Player of the Year awards in his future and should be among the first picks in every fantasy draft. (May 2)FBG Staff Rankings
