The Defensive Game Plan is All About Saquon Barkley

Shut down Saquon Barkley and there’s a very good chance the Vikings will head into the divisional round of the playoffs.

Truth be told, I didn’t foresee the Giants’ RB having such a strong season. I overlooked him in my fantasy draft, instead opting for an Austin Ekeler/Joe Mixon double whammy. Little did I know that Mike Kafka and Brian Daboll would help revitalize their RB’s career.

Barkely is, without question, one of the most important players on the field every time he’s out there. Failing to nullify him will make a victory much more difficult to acquire.
