Saquon Barkley - Dynasty Discussion Thread

Eli will be top 8 if all his weapons stay healthy.

Drafted in 2004, headed into his 15th season, with only ONE top 10 finish in his entire career (#8 in 2011). Lloyd has a better chance with Mary.

In what format? I'm talking fantasy football scoring, in which he has been top 10 a number of times.

This is as far back as this league goes...so moving to my previous league:
2007: #16
2006: #11
2005: #5

I can't find any of my leagues that go back to 2004. Looks like my initial post wasn't quite accurate as he has 3 top 10s in that long career and once in the top 5 - but that was also 13 years ago. I just can't see how he's going to put up top numbers at age 37 with rapidly declining talent.

What is your scoring system? In my pretty standard scoring league (25yds/pt, 4pt/TD) he was a few spots higher each of those years, which bumped him into the top 10 a few more times (2006, 2014, and 2015).

Same scoring. Additionally -2 for interceptions, -1 for fumbles, 2 points for conversions, and typical rushing scoring.

I like it. Best offense of the teams with top 10 picks. Might prefer Tampa for the long run with having a more stable long term QB.

So you're telling me there's a chance?!

[Bot101]

Ill be honest, this was my 3rd preferred landing spot.

1 Bucs
2 Browns
3 Giants


The Giants made some improvements at Oline during free agency, Barkley wont face stacked boxes with the pass catching talent in NY, and Shurmer utilizes RBs in the passing game extremely nicely. Im happy. I was hoping to avoid the Broncos and Colts.

Hope Saquon can still bounce at the next level, because he'll need to.

Beauty comment!


Personally i think the landing spot is one of the better ones anyone with 1.01 could hope for. Lots of weapons to keep D's honest. Will be tough for D's to try to focus on Barkley!

Yep, I agree the # of weapons will keep the D honest and should give Barkley some room. And people keep saying what happens when Eli is done? Well 49ers found a franchise QB for only a 2nd and Cardinals didn't have Palmer's replacement on hand before he retired and they didn't seem to have any issues finding QBs for 2018. Giants will address QB once they have to for now they are playing to win.

He’s going to get 300 touches so who gives a bleep about their line. That offense is stacked.

He was going to get that anyway, efficiency matters. I am not a fan of the spot, but it could be worse. I feel like most of the people who think it's a good spot are owners of the 1.01, trying to convince themselves. Unfortunately we don't always get the benefit of Zeke going the the Cowboys, and while it's not the worst spot, it's certainly not ideal for efficient touches.

EDIT Round 2 pick helps

[Jason3123]

Based on the comments there are no good landing spots in the NFL. Bad teams score points. Opportunity is king, not talent. Stop worrying about offensive lines. Most of you probably can’t even name their linemen.

[Boomstick]

Giants addressed the OL through FA and the draft and upgraded the coaching staff. This reminds me of Dalvin last year when everyone thought his landing spot was poor because of the 2016 Oline. They addressed it in the off season like Giants are doing with theirs. Oh, and they happen to have the same offensive mind now with Shurmer. O lines can be rebuilt in a year.
