Okay, so, let’s talk about Saquon Barkley and this whole injury thing. Man, it’s been a rollercoaster with this guy, right? I remember when he first came into the league – dude was a beast! Everyone was hyped, and I jumped on the bandwagon too, had him in all my fantasy leagues.
I started digging into his injury history ’cause, you know, gotta stay informed. It’s crazy, this guy’s only 27, born in ’97, can you believe it? Feels like he’s been around forever. But even before the NFL, I found out he was already turning heads. Then he gets to the Giants, and bam, immediately making an impact.
I was following the Giants games religiously. When Saquon started getting hurt it made me so sad. First it started with some minor stuff and it just started getting worse. I started tracking everything. I made a list right here.
- Ankle Sprains: Seemed like every other week he was getting an ankle sprain. High ankle, low ankle, you name it. I even noted down when he went week-to-week with that low ankle sprain – rough times.
- Other Stuff: I saw him dive for a loose ball once and felt a pang in my chest. There was no official word on it, but I could tell something was off. Arm injury, maybe? Hard to say, but it definitely slowed him down.
But here’s the thing, even with all these setbacks, I’ve kept track of his performance. This guy, when he’s healthy, he’s a total game-changer. I mean, I read somewhere he rushed for over 1,300 yards TWICE during his time with the Giants. That’s insane, especially considering all the time he missed. It got me thinking, how much of an impact do these injuries actually have on his overall game, especially for us fantasy nerds?
Then, this season, it was like a switch flipped. I watched him closely. It seemed like he found a way to adjust his game. It was wild. He started to transform. It was a completely different Saquon Barkley. I was glued to the screen every time he touched the ball. It’s like he’s overcome all those injury issues and is back to his old, explosive self. What a journey, huh?
It just makes you wonder what he could’ve achieved without all those injuries. But hey, that’s the game, right? It was just wild to watch this man overcome all these setbacks, and it was fun to keep track of it all the way through. I just hope he stays healthy, because a healthy Saquon is good for everyone. Except maybe the opposing defenses.
