Saquon Barkley (ankle) starts practice week on Giants sidelines
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.
Barkley worked with trainers but did not practice again after sitting out all of last week. Devontae Booker will handle lead back duties again in Week 7 versus the Carolina Panthers if Barkley misses another game. He totaled 69 scoreless yards on 16 touches last week and was vultured by Elijhaa Penny at the goal line, but Booker encouragingly played 71.2% of the overall snaps and handled 12-of-15 running back carries.
Booker is the RB13 in numberFire's weekly fantasy rankings and he has a $5,800 salary on FanDuel. The Panthers are allowing the fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season, but they rank fifth-worst in Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points allowed per play.
