Saquon Barkley is good for Giants, but bad for fantasy football players

With less than two minutes, Barkley took a handoff and had a clear path to the endzone. While the six points would have been great for fantasy football players, for the guys on the field he made the smartest play possible.

A score would have put New York up 30-20 (pending the extra point attempt) and given Baltimore the ball with one minute and 17 seconds left and two timeouts. While surely a longshot to win, the only way the Ravens could win is if they gained possession. 

Instead, Barkley slid down at the 2-yard line. The Giants were able to run out the clock without giving the ball back to Baltimore. The Giants won 24-20, and the fantasy team's rostering Barkley perhaps on the losing end.

Barkley's wise play made it known where his priorities lie.

The Giants are 5-1 and the biggest surprise in football. They'll look to continue their brilliant season at the Jaguars (2-4) next Sunday.
