2. RB Saquon Barkley

Following multiple seasons in a row dealing with injuries, it finally seems as if Saquon Barkley is back to his 2018 form and we all love to see it. Even during times last season when Barkley was healthy he did not seem the same as he once did. However, it seems as if Barkley finally has his legendary bounce back.

Throughout the first two games of the season, Barkley has run the ball 39 times for a league-high 236 yards and one TD. He’s added nine receptions too.

Barkley has been absolutely vital to the NY Giants early success. Especially in Week 1, where he carried the ball 18 times for a ridiculous 164 yards, one TD, and one game sealing two-point conversion.

Obviously, the only thing that has been holding Barkley back throughout his career thus far has been his health. We all know what he is capable of when healthy. If Barkley is able to remain healthy for the rest of the season, we will likely finally see him retake his spot amongst the top running backs in the NFL .
