Giants | Orleans Darkwa expects to play
New York Giants RB Orleans Darkwa (back) doesn’t know if he’ll practice this week, but he does expect to be able to take the field in Week 4. Darkwa will receive treatment for tightness in his tweaked back.
Footballguys View: That’s cool, but fantasy owners aren’t expecting much from Darkwa…or any Giants RB at this time. Darkwa and Paul Perkins are not running the ball with much authority or effectiveness. Shane Vereen isn’t lighting the fantasy world on fire either. It might lead to more opportunity for rookie Wayne Gallman, but for now Darkwa is the guy that could get more work with Perkins’ ineffectiveness.
Eagles | Philly signs Kenjon Barner
Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Kenjon Barner (Chargers) was signed to a one-year contract by the Philadelphia Eagles Tuesday, Sept. 26. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys View: Barner is back with the Eagles (spent 2014-2016 in Philadelphia) after spending the summer with the Chargers. He is familiar with the scheme and gives the team more depth after losing Darren Sproles for the year. Barner is nothing more than a no4 RB behind LeGarrette Blount, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement.
