Best Saquon Barkley Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Saquon Barkley O 17.5 Carries (-130)

After being a limited participant in practice Tuesday due to a knee injury, Barkley was a full participant Wednesday and the superstar back should be a full-go for Thursday’s NFC East matchup with the Giants. After his incredible first season with the Eagles last year, Barkley has continued to be a workhorse back for Philadelphia this season.

Among running backs this season, the 28-year-old ranks third in snap share (82.8%) and fourth in carries (83). Barkley has seen at least 18 rushes in four of his five starts this season and Thursday night’s matchup with his former team in the Giants is a great setup for the back to again see huge volume as a rusher.

The Eagles rank third in rush rate this season (46%) and as seven-point favorites over New York, Philadelphia should heavily rely on its run game. In the 21 wins for the Eagles over the last two seasons that he has been active for, Barkley is averaging 21.5 carries per game and has surpassed 17.5 carries in 17 of these 21 appearances.
