'Sigh of relief' with Giants RB Saquon Barkley's ankle injury

Oct 11, 2021

Joe Judge wouldn’t say Saquon Barkley has a sprained ankle (he does), but he said X-Rays came back “with better news than it could’ve been. A little bit of a sigh of relief.”

Fantasy Impact:

Vacchiano went on to say to no one’s surprise, Judge won’t put a timetable on Barkley’s return, but Vacchiano went on to estimate probably about 2-3 weeks. It's certainly good news, especially if you saw the highlights of the injury and Barkley's swollen ankle. Other reports say it's a low ankle sprain for Barkley. Look for Booker to eat up a big part of Barkley's workload.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
