Giants' Saquon Barkley (ankle) sitting again Thursday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is not practicing again Thursday.
What It Means:
Barkley hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle in Week 5 and he could be headed for another absence on Sunday. Devontae Booker was vultured at the goal line by Elijhaa Penny last week, but he handled 12-of-15 running back carries and totaled 69 yards on 16 touches while playing 71.2% of the overall snaps.
Booker is the RB13 in numberFire's weekly fantasy rankings and he has a $5,800 salary on FanDuel. The Panthers are allowing the fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season, but they rank fifth-worst in Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points allowed per play.
