Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Jeffery Wilson

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 Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, rib) was placed on the injured reserve on Thursday. The 27-year-old is dealing with multiple injuries that are going to force him to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. However, Wilson's agent expects Wilson to return ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. That is great news considering the team didn't offer much of a timetable for Wilson's return. The Dolphins might only be without Wilson for four games, which isn't too bad. In his absence, Raheem Mostert and rookie De'Von Achane (shoulder) are expected to have bigger roles in the offense.
