Peyton Barber To Fight For Roster Spot
3 years agoWashington Football Team running back Peyton Barber could be on the roster bubble in a crowded running back room entering training camp. Running backs coach Randy Jordan says that three RBs will make the final roster. Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic have their roles set in stone, so the final spot on the RB depth chart is up for grabs between Barber, Jaret Patterson, Lamar Miller and Jonathan Williams. Barber was active in all 16 games last season and was relied upon as a starter in just two of those games. He was not very productive when called upon, carrying the ball 94 times for 258 yards, while adding four touchdowns on the ground. The best-case scenario for Barber is to begin the year as Washington's RB3, so he will have very little fantasy value. A lot of things will need to unfold in Washington's backfield in order for Barber to hold any fantasy value.
