Ronald Jones, Peyton Barber 'both going to play' for Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber will share work this season, per comments from head coach Bruce Arians.
What It Means:
"It's going to be a heck of a 1-2 punch," Arians asserted. "Whichever one's the 1, whichever one's the 2, they're both going to play." He said he like what he saw from the backfield as a whole on Tuesday, though Jones earned individual praise for being an "explosive player" who will "make big plays" this season. Jones averaged an anemic 1.9 yards on 23 carries as a rookie, but the Bucs are willing to give the second-rounder another chance to earn a role.
Barber is currently the RB36 and Jones is the RB42 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings.
