Peyton Barber leading Buccaneers' backfield battle
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is expected to win the starting job over Ronald Jones, believes Mark Cook of Pewter Report.
"Right now this staff has full faith in Barber and in what he can bring to the Bucs offense," writes Cook, adding that "it is Barber's job to lose." Barber became the first player since 2013 to total fewer than 1,000 yards from scrimmage on more than 250 touches last season, so the Bucs are expected to give Jones a chance to prove his worth after an abysmal rookie campaign.
Barber is currently the RB36 and Jones is the RB41 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings.
