I’ll take the superior talent who can run routes and catch passes like a WR and run the ball. Zeke has been blessed with getting to run behind great Olines in college and the NFL. So I think his ability, while good, is being inflated by the situations he
Is career has landed him in.
So if Zeke is being helped by being behind a good line, doesn't it stand to reason that Barkley will be negatively impact by playing for the Giants? That is one of the worst lines in the league.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

‘Was’ one of the worst lines in the league. TBD on next season with the addition of Soldier and Hernandez. Nonetheless, as was mentioned, Saquon has better pass game chops, so should be able to gain some additional support through the air. Meanwhile defenses will be able to stack on the Dallas run game.

Big picture it is close either way, and roughly 75% have chosen the more proven Zeke, so the votes are reflective of the ‘unproven’ and lesser line approach of thinking. I’m fine being in the 25%.

Solder and Hernandez will do wonders for that line. And reports have Flowers showing something in his new spot. They should be much improved. And I dont think it would matter much. Barkley will score a ton of points in half and full PPR formats in that system with the talent he has.

Got to go Barkley. He has legitimate Lebron James-level potential on the football field. Zeke is great, now, but he could easily just be a Kawhi - great but not generational talent level.

I would take Zeke all day. I just don't have faith in the Giants line yet. Tough choice though.

I voted Zeke but its really close for me. I actually have an offer on the table for the 1.01 for Zeke but can't pull the trigger yet because I am not a fan of holding the WR1 and RB1 for the same team (unless you're talking AB and Bell).
