Saquon Barkley officially active but expected to be limited Week 1

Giants running back Saquon Barkley is officially active for the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos but is expected to be “used sparingly,” according to reports.

Fantasy Impact: According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Barkley “will be eased in and used sparingly” in his first game back. This makes the decision to start Barkley in most fantasy formats a difficult one for fantasy managers. If you play in a league where you have other startable options, it’s probably safer to go with another player for Week 1 while we wait to see what Barkley’s workload is going to look like.
