TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Francisco 49ers

There's not much to like about Tampa Bay's backfield heading into 2019. Peyton Barber is technically the starter, but we expect to see Ronald Jones and even Dare Ogunbowale being involved as well. Barber was Tampa's starter a year ago and did fine, rushing for 871 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games. But those aren't exactly numbers that are going to win you games in fantasy. He does get a decent matchup against the 49ers, but with a crowded backfield, he shouldn't be viewed as much more than a low-end RB3.

TB RB Peyton Barber - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Peyton Barber started all 16 games last season, and not much has changed in Tampa Bay’s backfield this offseason, so we expect him to start again. Barber was serviceable last season, finishing with 963 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns. He was leaned on heavily in 2018, receiving double-digit carries in every game but two with 15+ carries in nine of his 16 starts.

Fantasy Downside
The Bucs added Andre Ellington in the offseason, but he’s not expected to be a major threat. Instead, second-year back Ronald Jones should threaten Barber’s touches in 2019. He didn’t do so as a rookie, but maybe Bruce Arians can make something out of the second-round draft pick. Even if he can’t, Barber wasn’t all that exciting in 2018. He had plenty of opportunities, but averaged 3.7 yards per carry and finished above 50 rushing yards just seven times in 16 starts.

2019 Bottom Line
While we expect Barber to start, it’s hard to imagine Jones being sidelined as much as he was a year ago. There’s just not too much to like about Barber who had the ninth-most carries in the league last year, but the 19th-most rushing yards. And he offers practically no value as a receiver as he finished with less than 100 receiving yards in 2018.

TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Peyton Barber continued his mediocre season, finishing with 56 yards and no score last week. He's averaging 53 rush yards per game this season despite getting an average of nearly 15 carries per game. He did have success against the Falcons earlier in the year, however, finishing with 100 total yards and a score. He gets a slight bump this week and can be viewed as a decent RB2 option.

TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys

Peyton Barber has turned in to a decent fantasy option, rushing for 85 yards and a score last week. After scoring just once on the ground in the first 10 weeks of the season, Barber has scored in four of his last five games while averaging 70 total yards in that span. However, he did finish between 40-50 yards in the three games before this, and he has almost no impact as a receiver. Essentially, he's a touchdown-or-bust option most weeks. He gets a tough challenge against the Cowboys, who have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. He's a decent RB3 or flex option vs. Dallas.

TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore Ravens

Peyton Barber carried the ball 14 times last week, finishing with 42 yards. He also added two yards on one catch. Barber has now been out-rushed by Jameis Winston two weeks in a row. He's also finished between 40-50 rushing yards for three straight games. He's clearly their lead back, but he's just not doing anything worthwhile.

Expect his struggles to continue this week in a brutal matchup against the Ravens. Baltimore is allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing backs with a league-low 871 rushing yards allowed to the position. He's a low-end RB3 with big bust potential.

TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New Orleans Saints

Peyton Barber wasn't good last week, rushing 16 times for 45 yards (2.8 ypc), but he did find the endzone. He's now scored in three straight games after having just one rushing score in the first nine games.

Barber gets a rough matchup this week against the Saints, who are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. New Orleans has held opposing backs under 80 rushing yards in every game this season. Barber had 69 yards vs. the Saints in Week 1. He's not much more than a lower-end RB3 this week.

TB RB Peyton Barber - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Carolina Panthers

Peyton Barber wasn't great last week (averaged 2.6 yards per carry), but he did finish with 63 total yards and a score. He's scored in two straight games now after having just one rushing TD within the first nine games this season.

Barber struggled in his first game against the Panthers this season, carrying the ball 11 times for 31 yards. He gets a fairly tough matchup against Carolina this week, however. Barber should only be viewed as a low-end RB3 with limited upside.
