Peyton Barber Quiet in Buccaneers Offensive Explosion
Peyton Barber was disappointing Sunday against the Saints. Barber rushed 18 times for just 69 yards and no touchdowns in what ended up being a 48 point beatdown on New Orleans. The starting running back was touted as the Bucs' workhorse going into this season, and his volume suggests it. However, it's a shame that he couldn't capitalize on his role with more production. The game-script was favorable and he had the opportunities, but just six~ fantasy points to show for it against an average run defense is disappointing. Most notably, Barber was not targeted even once in the passing game. He will be a liability in all PPR leagues if this becomes a trend. Barber will get another opportunity to showcase why he deserves the weekly starting nod Sunday against the Eagles in what should prove to be an even tougher matchup.
