OWNED IN:  32% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had been presented with the opportunity to become an unchallenged feature back during the Buccaneers' initial five contests, but his underwhelming results (148 yards/3.0 YPC/0 touchdowns) provided the potential for Ronald Jones to confiscate a sizable workload. But when the team reemerged after their Week 5 bye, Barber dominated the workload, as he commandeered 17 touches, while Jones was relegated to a miniscule four.

Barber also generated a season best 6.3 YPC, while also establishing a season high 82 yards on the ground. Offensive coordinator/play caller Todd Monken also deployed Barber more extensively as a receiving option, as the third-year back recorded season highs in targets (4), receptions (4), and receiving yards (24). While the workload distribution could be altered in upcoming weeks, Barber is still operating as Tampa Bay's primary back, which should encourage you to target him among your roster additions.
