Peyton Barber

[Avery]

I think Barber becomes this year's Alex Collins. Not the sexiest name out there, but gets the job done. It sucks to have him right now because nobody wants to actually pay anything for him. If he's in the RB2 range or above, I think a late 1st is a reasonable asking price. Won't ever happen though.

You might have lost the plot.

One can get lost in the weeds of "trade value" as if success means having the most "value" on your team instead of what we are all going for which should be winning weeks, making the playoffs and if all goes well, winning the championship. Be happy you have a guy that can start, or at least fill in in bye weeks or in case of injury.

You have a starting RB you might have not expected and your team is better for having him regardless of his trade value. Congrats!

I picked up Barber off our leagues waiver wire a few weeks ago and yesterday I traded him, Mason Rudolph and 19 3rd for Hunter Henry.

He’s someone who I really want to buy, but I hate the fact that Vegas has his o/u at 675 rush yards.

Either this is easy money, or RJ is given a bigger than expected opportunity.

So, if you had the team in my sig, what would his value be in a trade? I have an owner knocking, and I'm going to be facing cut down day in a week.

In my sig (2nd team) I'm going for the ship. I have 3-4 RBs I'll start before Barber. There are guys in my league who need a 2nd RB or flex option, think the best offer I have received is ESB (GB). Guess he's better on my bench than in another team's starting lineup.

I just learned that Peyton Barber struggled (or still struggles) with dyslexia and ADHD throughout his formative years.

At this time of year there are a lot of owners that think that having 3-4 starting running backs means that they are "deep" at the position. An experienced dynasty owner that has been around the block a few times knows that rb depth that runs to about 5 deep, is essential for a play off push. Having 5 starting running backs allows an owner to typically dodge bye week issues and cover for injuries or super tough match ups. I chuckle when I send out offers to contenders that have 3 good running backs and are otherwise solid all around and they respond by saying that rb isn't an area of concern. I can't help but think.... " it isn't today (first week of the season), but.... it will be soon... then, the price goes up more as supply and demand fluctuate toward the sellers favor.

Also, if a current P.Barber owner isn't able to sell him for at least a future late first or projected early 2nd, keeping him rather than selling short is a passive way of playing defense and keeping him off opponents rosters.

Look at my RB, I don’t need barber in any way but I’ll be damned if I’ll sell him below what I think he’s worth. Id much rather watch teams put out starting RB pairs like Ajayi & Booker, Crowell and Powell, Mack & Peterson, Drake & Ervin, Royce & Gallman, Yeldon & Blount, McCoy and Corey Grant, etc. those are actual staring lineups this week. Look at my RB below and you’ll see why these guys are starting straight turds; I’ve got all the good ones!

I would want a 1st next year at this point minimum but package for a player would be the move I would be doing. . Fair chance he will be your 4th best RB. Trade a different back or get a package for a WR like Hogan. Your RB's aren't the problem but WR is an issue. Your drop at WR3 is concerning.

[fakespike13]

I don’t think Lockett is that bad as wr3 in a 16 team league, plus I get 1pp 20 return yards, so Lockett has some true upside here. He was wr31 last year, or a bottom end wr2. Anyway, I’m with you on Barber, and I’m happy to trade him, I’m just not gonna accept lowballs because I have “too many good RBs” as I’ve heard in trade offers. Lol.

[Ice]

Return yards help. Perhaps you could leverage that and a RB to get a better dynasty WR. You seem to have the assets to bolster that position even if its a RB and Diggs to really upgrade that WR2. Picks won't do you a lot for you with that team unless it's projected pretty high.

Today, he got 23 carries, 111 yards and a TD. 5 targets, 3 catches, 31 yards and 0 TDs. Compare that to Kenyan Drake's 8/24/0 and 6/3/33/0. Looks to have seized the lead role as long as Jacobs out.

I was telling people who thought Drake was going to affect Jacobs a ton not to worry about it. Everybody was panicking. Drake is in the role I expected all along. Barber just got plugged into Jacobs role. Had a good day today.

Peyton Barber is a great example of why a decent back who has strong fundamentals can get repeat opportunities to earn a role and succeed in a game like today. Similar to Tim Hightower back in the day.
