While New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito has been the talk of town, let's not forget about running back Saquon Barkley.
Against the New Orleans Saints, Barkley made a remarkable one-handed, 17-yard catch on a second-and-10 at the New York 40-yard line. The big play led to a 56-yard Randy Bullock field goal, giving the Giants a 3-0 lead with 10:00 remaining in the first quarter.

Barkley — who signed a one-year, $10.091M this offseason — has produced decent numbers. Entering Week 15, he's 14th in the league in rushing yards (783) and has seven TDs (three rushing and four receiving).
If he can keep making big plays, that would be ideal for the Giants offense, which is second to last in points per game (14.1). DeVito, meanwhile, has exceeded expectations. In six games, the undrafted rookie has completed 65.9 percent of his passes for eight TDs and three interceptions.
