Saquon Barkley, Lorenzo Carter among highest-graded Giants in Week 16

RB Saquon Barkley and LB Lorenzo Carter were among PFF’s highest-graded New York Giants in Week 16.

The New York Giants had several stand-out stars in a 41-35 overtime victory over the Washington Redskins in Week 16, including running back Saquon Barkley, who graded out better than any back with at least 10 carries this week.

In addition to Barkley, who set a franchise record in yards from scrimmage, rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, who set multiple all-time marks with his five-touchdown performance, also received a nod.

On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Lorenzo Carter had one of the best performances of his career, recording 1.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for a loss, four QB hits and six pressures.

Going back to the offense for a moment, Jones may have received a 78.4 passing grade, but was given an overall grade of 72.5, which was lower than the 74.2 grade he received for his performance against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13 (20/37, 240 yrds, 1 TD, 3 INT).

Make of that what you will.
