Fantasy Injury Updates Week 5 Latest news on Jonathan Taylor Saquon Barkley affecting RB rankings
Blog Article
Running backs attempted to take a stand in the offseason, attempting to show the league how much value they bring to a team. Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley were two of them, but they opted for different approaches in the end. Taylor went nuclear, requesting a trade to a team that would show him the money. Barkley signed his franchise tag and was a good soldier, returning to the Giants without making a scene.In the end, both players ended up injured and watching the games in street clothes. Taylor still hasn't taken the field this season, and Barkley lasted le s than two full games before an ankle injury would cost him at least two weeks. Turns out, neither strategy paid off, and both are e sentially right back to where they started hoping teams recognize their value and offer them contracts that reflects it. That won't come this season, but maybe a return Tug McGraw Jersey to the field could go a long way in fixing that. Probably not, but fantasy owners still want to know when we'll see these stars playing on Sundays again.Below, we'll give you the latest news on these star RBs and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 5 fantasy landscape. For news on banged-up WRsDavante Adams,Tee Higgins, andMike Evans,; for more on key injured playersJavonte Williams,Luke Musgrave, andPat Freiermuth,; for updates on ailing QBsKyler MurrayandJimmy Garoppolo,; for the latest on hurting WRs Cooper Kupp,Zay Jones, andOdell Beckham Jr.,.WEEK 5 FANTASY: | | Taylor (ankle) is set to practice with the Colts on Wednesday as the team is opening the 21-day practice window to remove the running back from the PUP list. Taylor, who made headlines for holding out during the offseason and demanding a trade, likely also ended up on the PUP list thanks to his long and much-publicized time away from the team. As he holds out hope for an eventual trade, it seems that signs are pointing to one of the league's best running backs returning to the field in the near future, though it might not be in Week 5.Odds are, you took a flier on Taylor after the first couple of rounds in a cla sic medium-risk, high-reward type move. It's an aggre sive strategy, but one that likely won't pay off this week. Taylor is still likely angling for a trade and might come into Week 5 with a snap count as the Colts ease him back in, if he even plays at all. With Zack Mo s putting up good numbers so far this season, we would rather avoid this Colts' Richie Ashburn Jersey backfield entirely against Tenne see's fourth-ranked run defense. Then again, if you drafted Taylor, you're likely willing to take risks. Perhaps you have a player on a bye or a need at running back. Regardle s, inserting the star running back into the lineup isn't the wisest move, but scared money doesn't make any. Just don't say we didn't warn you.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Barkley (ankle) was inactive for the Giants blowout lo s to the Seahawks on Monday night. He will now set his sights on trying to return for a critical Week 5 matchup in Miami against the Dolphins. The positive news is that Barkley seems to be trending in the right direction, having logged limited practices in the lead up to the Monday night kickoff before being ruled out. Big Blues running back has pushed for a return ever since going down with the injury on the final drive of the Giants Week 2 comeback win in Arizona. After returning to practice last week, it seems like this might be the week Barkley gets back on the field.WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | The Giants' offense is a complete disaster, but you can't bench Barkley if he plays. The biggest reason for that is he is, quite literally, the Giants' offense. That was proven throughout last year, and Daniel Jones' performance without No. 26 this year is even more evidence of that. The offensive line is in shambles, the defense can't tackle, and the special teams is far from special. That's a cold, hard dose of reality -- one that is not making many fantasy owners comfortable. Unfortunately, that's how this game is sometimes, and this was the hand we were dealt. Keep rolling Barkley out there and hope he can stabilize a shaky unit. If Barkley is once again sidelined, it's Matt Breida's backfield for the third straight week against Miami. Since he couldn't take advantage of a le s-than-stellar Seattle defense, it's hard to have much faith in him in Week 5 as Larry Andersen Jersey the season comes crashing down on the G-Men.
