Peyton Barber

Peyton Barber listed as starter for Buccaneers Thursday night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been named the starter on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

The tea leaves point to Antone Smith seeing the bulk of the work, but Barber will be the one who gets the first snaps Thursday night. Smith is likely the better fantasy investment, while Barber makes for a solid RB3 and will be the likely goal-line back.

Our models project Barber to rush 9 times for 39 yards and 0.36 touchdowns versus Atlanta, while we have Smith pegged for 48 yards and 0.47 touchdowns on 11 totes.
