1. Lean on the production of Saquon Barkley

After injuries piled up the past two seasons, the Giants finally have their workhorse RB back in Saquon Barkley. He looks just as good if not better than he did his rookie year in 2018. Giants fans are happy to see Barkley back to his old self. Through three weeks, Barkley is one of three running backs to eclipse the 300 yard rushing mark.

Saquon will be the first one to tell you that he’s feeling like himself again and is playing without any restraints.

"“Yeah, not to be arrogant, but when you see plays like when I went back and watched film on the touchdown run I had on Monday, making that jump cut inside a hole, making those two guys miss and finding a way to score, those are plays where it just puts a smile on your face when you’re like, ‘That is the guy I know,'”- NY Giants RB Saquon Barkley"

The Giants offense works more effectively when Barkley is in full force. He’s one of the rare backs that has a deadly combination of power, speed, and agility. Barkley is making plays we haven’t seen him make since 2019 and he will surely be a huge part of the Giants offense if they want to be 3-1 after Sunday’s game.
