Bills quarterback Matt Barkley does not have the most unique name. Fortunately for him, it evidently gets him drafted in fantasy football.

And hey, whatever works, works, right? That’s at least how Barkley appears to be taking things.

Barkley, Buffalo’s current No. 2 quarterback to starter Josh Allen, has gotten in at least one game both seasons he’s played with the Bills. But that does not justify folks mistaking him for Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

Barkley took to his social media account on Twitter this week and decided to give such… lucky… fantasy football owners, a shoutout:

Shoutout to all the homies accidentally drafting me over @saquon in fantasy football.. you the real ones 👊🏼😂

— Matt Barkley (@MattBarkley) July 7, 2020

The Bills’ Barkley has been a journeyman quarterback in his NFL career, but plays his backup role well with the Bills. The Giants’ Barkley was the No. 2 overall pick at the 2018 NFL Draft, a ridiculously high-draft slot for a running back. He’s also been predicted recently to lead the NFL in rushing, according to Giants Wire and overall via ESPN’s 2020 fantasy football projections, Saquon Barkley’s the No. 4 ranked running back. At the most recent draft, the Chiefs selected LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first round. He was the final pick of the opening round, and only running back taken in it. That alone says enough about the differences in Barkley and Barkley’s production.

Top it off with running backs being much more vital to a fantasy team’s success as opposed to most NFL teams? Well… all we can do now is give our bet bit of advice.

Thanks for all you do, Matt.

But guys, check your first names on fantasy football before pressing that “select” button.
