League_Champion Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 "Could be out until week 3". I don't think that's much of a shock. That's a tough injury for someone as athletic as him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubuckeyeman36 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Collected Booker in all my leagues and now it's time to sell the Book man. I'm not sure what value I'll get but I figure now is the time. Barkley is a beast but he has so much violence in the way he runs Barkley managers are going to have to hold their breathe every time he gets the rock.

indyrckstar Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I've drafted him the past two years in a row. NEVER AGAIN... I don't care what pick/round he is available this year. If he is one the board, I am going to look the other way... Edited August 7, 2021 by indyrckstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now's the time to keep Booker or sell to the Barkley owner. I'd keep Booker until Barkley comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep Booker until Barkley comes back. Depends on your team. It's the best time to sell with all the press about Barkley being out and why leave it just to the Barkley owner? No need to cut out buyers. There are many teams that would want a starting running back for 3 weeks. I have also acquired players like this to keep an owner from getting the said player. If you can put another team at a disadvantage especially in your division and you can do so affordably then why not? This is more for dynasty and keeper leagues which is all I play in. I have been very successful with these tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only in deep leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only in deep leagues. I'm not selling just to sell. I'll get something of value. A future pick or a depth piece I need more. I don't agree with your not getting much. And if I can't get much then I don't sell. I just keep him unless I'm happy with the return. You are not forced to sell. I'm just saying this is a great time to sell Booker if you choose, but it's not a situation I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubuckeyeman36 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Back to Barkley. I have my doubts he can stay healthy all year with that injury and his running style. The Giants are in a tough spot. On one hand, you want him back out there and playing. On the other hand, an injury like that can take multiple seasons to heal where the player is the same prior to the injury. This is the issue with a serious running back injury. And when you draft a running back this high with the way rookie contracts are the Giants are in a very tough spot. His running style does not help the matter. Hulk smash runner. He is only under contract till 2023 and that includes his 5th-year option. I suppose they could tag him at that point but would they?

keggerz Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I've drafted Barkley in multiple leagues this year already and have zero buyers remorse. The odds of getting 16 games from a RB is super low as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnorma2 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Here is what we know ... 1. Giants have one of the toughest schedules for rbs this year https://www.fantasynerds.com/nfl/strength-of-schedule/RB 2. Giants have a terrible offensive line https://www.profootballnetwork.com/best-offensive-lines-in-the-nfl-ranked/ 3. Barkley is coming off a major injury and may miss time early ... And when he does play it's unsure his workload and his confidence to make the cuts and jukes he is capable of 4. Daniel Jones is in an important year and the is no quarentee he will be successful... And golladay is already showing some injury concerns in camp. Jones is a turnover machine and this offense could be a bottom tier scoring team. There is no denying Barkley athletic ability when is healthy .... Noone is denying that ... He has the potential to be the best ... But when you play for a bad team( with major scoring and turnover concerns) with a bad online and a terrible schedule and coming off a terrible Injury I'll take all other rbs going in the first and early second over him .... But Barkley if your reading this ..... It's not you its me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So based on that alone, Barkley shouldn't be drafted. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Out until week 3 means out 2 weeks not 3. Also it could mean out 0 weeks. From @GMFB: The #Giants will likely see RB Saquon Barkley by Week 3 and although no one will rush him, no one has completely ruled out Week 1, either.

PocketPool Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Where he is being drafted and with the other available rb and wr options the risk outweighs the reward imo. Atleast for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
