I really hope he goes for like 200 & 2 TDs so everyone loses their mind.

I could see it. Here's a narrative that may play out: rain limits both teams to mostly short passes. Winston has another week of sloppy play to start the game, gets put on the short leash. Bucs shift to a heavy running attack, ends in RoJo getting 25 points.

I didn't like his tape from last week, but you don't always have to be a refined player to put up numbers.

12-team SF, PPR, TE premium, 0.25 PPCarry

QB: Mahomes, Fields, Love
RB: Bijan, ETN, Pollard, Achane, Herbert

Barber still looks like the better player.

Not much, he looked really tentative on his last run. He's 2 carries for zero yards right now.

Barber has 9 touches to RoJo's 2. It's early, but it's proof that RoJo didn't take over the starting spot based on his week 1 performance.

You guys gotta let it goooo.......

That was a really nice 12 yard run, but he's really inconsistent.

As I type it, Barber goes up the gut for a nice gainer TD.

Hes inconsistent because he has poor instincts, lack of wiggle coupled with poor vision.

Hes fast though, so if theres a huge running lane where he doesnt need to make any adjustments he can do well there.

Theres a ton of RBs that can do that, though. You really need more at the nfl level.

Barber may not be fast, but hes more elusive and at least tries to make a move in the open field

Apparently my dog ate my homework along with all of the "increased attempts" RoJo was supposed to get in this game!

I was interested in seeing him pass block. This was by far his biggest flaw. Two games in, 0 attempts in this category.

I saw Barber completely whiff on a cut block and thought it had to be RoJo lol

Doesn't take long to conclude that he's a mediocre back.

And that's the thing...Barber is not a starter on any other team in the NFL. Only the Bucs, who have by far the worst RB room in the league.

...and yet Ronald Jones can't beat him out for playing time in front of two completely different coaching staffs. The bar is ridiculously low here.
