Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Rachaad White

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continued to be the workhorse back for this offense on Sunday. The second-year back rushed 15 times for 56 yards during the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. He wasn't great on the ground, but also added three receptions for 22 additional yards through the air. It appears the Bucs are going to continue pounding the ball with White going forward. The expectation is that he'll continue to provide low-end RB2 value.
