Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Brian Robinson Jr.

Monday, October 2, 7:18 PM

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the Seattle Seahawks. Barkley came into this contest listed as doubtful despite practicing on a limited basis this week. He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and will now miss his second straight game, and he won't be a lock to play in Week 5 on the road in Miami against the Dolphins, either. With Barkley out against Seattle to close out Week 4 action, expect the Giants to utilize a backfield committee once again, consisting of Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell and rookie Eric Gray. Breida is the best bet in fantasy lineups, but he will have a low floor and ceiling in what has been a weak Giants offense through their first three games.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 14 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for six yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. During an outing where he was mostly bottled up, the second-year back salvaged his day with a 15-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. His performance could've been even better if he hadn't fumbled at the goal line prior to what likely would've been a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Robinson will aim to have a better day against the Chicago Bears in Week 5, a team that has been below average against the run this season.
