4. Saquon Barkley tops Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry for rushing title

The battle to finish No. 1 in rushing yards for the 2022 campaign continues to get more intriguing. Right now, Derrick Henry is currently No. 1 on the list with 870 yards, while Nick Chubb is right behind him at 841 and Barkley is in third place at 779. These three are bonafide studs with the ball in their hands.

For Barkley, this has been a year to remember for so many different reasons. At the top of the list, though, has to be that he has silenced so many of his haters. After a down year in 2021, everyone was saying that Barkley’s time as a No. 1 option for an offense was over and there was no way he’d ever be a star again.

Oh, how wrong those folks were. Saquon is back to his old self and he’s looking like one of the best RBs in the game. He has been massive for first-year offensive coordinator Mike Kafka this season. The Giants will keep relying on No. 26 to deliver for him. We think Barkley will do just that, and close out the campaign as the rushing champ. Book it.
