Peyton Barber (RB, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Josh Jacobs has been sidelined for six games since entering the NFL (2019) while contending with multiple health issues during that span. Jacobs could also encounter additional health challenges even after he returns from his current ankle injury. If Jacobs misses additional time for any reason, then Barber will be the beneficiary of an expanded workload - not Kenyan Drake.

Barber procured a 57% snap share in Week 3 when Las Vegas hosted Miami, which was his highest since Week 2 of 2019. He easily surpassed Drake in rushing attempts (23/8), while Barber also tied his career-high. He also generated a career-best 111 yards, while averaging 4.8 yards per attempt. Jon Gruden is on record as stating that he has no hesitation in trusting Barber with a significant workload, which has also been verified by his usage during Jacobs' absence. This elevates Barber among the most viable backs to stash in deeper leagues. It also supplies managers with a legitimate insurance policy if Jacobs is contained on their roster.
