Read Saquon Barkley's fantasy football outlook for Week 4 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
After his Week 3 performance where he handled 22 touches and scored a touchdown for the first time since 2019, Barkley looks like he is back to or very close to his old self. However, he is in for another very hard matchup against the New Orleans Saints who have not been very nice to opposing running backs for the past number of seasons. When you match up the Giants' thin offensive line with the Saints' elite run defense, it is a recipe for a potentially extremely inefficient day for Barkley, which he has shown to do in the past.
Through the first three weeks of the season, the Saints have given up just 60.3 rushing yards per game, good for third-fewest in the NFL. In Week 2, Christian McCaffrey was held to just 72 rushing yards on 24 attempts, which was a very inefficient three yards per carry. However, he made up for his poor performance on the ground as a receiver out of the backfield, as he caught five passes for 65 yards. One thing that was encouraging from last week that carries over into Week 4 for Barkley was his usage in the passing game. He caught six passes on seven targets, so he has the chance to make up for any inefficiency on the ground with the passing game. Even with his less-than-inspiring outlook in this one, fantasy managers can expect RB2 numbers from the stud running back.
