Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Devon Achane

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.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane took eight carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns with three catches for 19 yards in Week 4's 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Achane picked up right where he left off from last Sunday's outburst, hitting paydirt on his first two touches with both seeing Tyreek Hill act as a decoy. But as both offenses calmed after scoring five touchdowns on the game's first five drives, so did Achane's usage. The speedy rookie was still able to show off his wheels on a neat 55-yard run in the face of the rout. Achane out-touched Raheem Mostert (who fumbled twice Sunday) 11-10, which is a promising sight for those who broke the FAAB bank to claim him off waiver wires. It remains to be seen what kind of role Miami has in store for Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs), who might be on the cusp of a return. Achane's weekly home-run potential should keep him in RB2 territory, regardless.
