The running back position doesn’t have a ton of superstars available on the free agent market, but there are a few names of interest … none more than Saquon Barkley. After two injury-plagued seasons, the superstar back remained healthy in 2022 and finished fifth in fantasy points at the position with 284 (17.6 PPG).
The most likely scenario is that Barkley remains with the Giants, whether it’s via a new contract or the franchise tag, and most of us would agree that it’s among his best (or maybe the best) landing spots. But where else would Barkley retain the most fantasy value if he didn’t remain with the G-Men? This doesn’t have anything to do with salary caps, money, etc., but it’s more about his fantasy appeal.
Here are five teams that could have a need at running back and would be interesting spots for Barkley to land next season. Let's start off in Buffalo.
