Barkley's 142 rushing yards are the fifth-highest total ever by a Giants rookie, and the highest since Bradshaw's 151 yards at Buffalo on Dec. 23, 2007. His 27 rushing attempts are the most by a Giants player since Jennings had 27 carries vs. Philadelphia on Jan. 3, 2016, and the most by a Giants rookie since Joe Montgomery set the team rookie record with 38 vs. the Jets on Dec. 5, 1999.

Barkley's 10 receiving yards increased his season total to 540, a Giants record for a rookie running back. David Meggett previously held the record with 531 yards in 1989.

Barkley has 1,268 scrimmage yards (728 rushing, 540 receiving) and 10 touchdowns (seven rushing, three receiving) in his first 10 career games. He is the sixth player in NFL history to record at least 1,200 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns in their first 10 games, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk, and Ezekiel Elliott, Adrian Peterson and Billy Sims.

The second overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, Barkley is the first Giants player to win a Player of the Week award in exactly a year. Safety Landon Collins was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after the Giants defeated Kansas City in Week 11 of the 2017 season. Before Barkley, the last Giants player honored as Offensive Player of the Week was

Odell Beckham, Jr., in Week 6 of the 2016 season vs. Baltimore.

Barkley is the just the second Giants rookie to win an Offensive Player of the Week award, which were instituted in 1984. Tight end Jeremy Shockey was selected in Week 17 of the 2002 season.
