OK fellow Barkley owners-are you holding or trying to trade?

Having a starting running back who is playing for the next 8 weeks gives a team better odds to make the playoffs than a team that has an RB who is scoring a grand total of 0 points per game during that period. 

We’re saying the same thing just talking past each other

I just traded Derrick Henry and both Broncos receivers for Barkley and Tyler Boyd. Seemed like a fair trade.

Is your team name the Dolphins by any chance?

Ok, guess you think I gave up too much. For what it’s worth, everyone I traded away was a bench player for me, so as long as I can make it to the playoffs, I like a team starting Barkley better than one starting Ingram (my remaining RB2).

Oh, I didn't realize you had Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook ahead of the top 5 RB you traded away for the top 15 Barkley.  My bad.

Do you think Henry is going to finish in the top 5 RB?  I don’t, but you win some you lose some. 

And no, I don’t have CMC and Cook, but I did start Ingram over Henry every week so far.

I know for a fact that Barkley won't.

Definitely true!

(if you care, I play in a league with no flex spot, so 2 good RBs are all I can start). I’m gambling that Saquon beats out my RB2 candidates (would have been Ingram and Henry) on a per game basis, so this trade gets me more starter points when I’ll need it most. I can see that you don’t expect that to happen (with your willingness to trade Barkley for Mack if there were no injury). Fair enough.

According to Kim Jones (local NY area sports reporter who covers the Giants), Saquon has already shed the walking boot and is telling everyone he'll be back sooner than expected.
