Barkley will be at training camp and won’t be holding out, so any potential discount there was in drafts when Barkley threatened to hold out is now gone. Saquon will likely be taken around the turn of the first and second round in fantasy drafts, which is fair value given his talent and upside as a premier back in the NFL. He’s a top tier RB1 once again.
