Barkley rushed 15 times for 50 yards and secured four of eight targets for 24 yards in the Giants' 21-6 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Barkley comfortably paced the Giants' ground attack in carries, but backfield mate Devontae Booker was much more efficient while averaging 9.3 yards per rush. Barkley's reception tally, modest as it was, co-led New York, but he's paying few dividends for fantasy managers relative to draft position, even after the jettisoning of Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator. Barkley has encouragingly logged double-digit carries and recorded multiple receptions in each of the four games Freddie Kitchens has largely taken over play-calling duties, yet he's clocked 4.0 yards per tote or fewer in three of those contests. Barkley's next opportunity to turn around what has been another lackluster season comes in a Week 16 road trip to Philadelphia for a divisional clash against the Eagles.
