On a list topped by Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley came in as the 8th best running back in the league. Now, that might sound like a low number for the New York Giants star. Going just off the potential he’s shown, his true value seems higher than that. At his best, after all, Barkley has competed with the top names in the league in yards and highlight plays and there might not be any more versatile running back.
But unfortunately, injury has kept Barkley from playing the last couple of seasons at full strength. He missed all but a couple games last year, and the CBS Sports article placing him at number eight at the position despite the missed games is a testament to how good the numbers from his first two seasons were.
