Peyton Barber Signing Two-Year Deal With Redskins
5 years agoThe Washington Redskins are signing running back Peyton Barber to a two-year deal worth $3 million on Tuesday. The deal includes $600,000 in guarantees. Barber entered the 2019 season as the starter in Tampa by default and ran the ball 154 times for 470 yards (career-low 3.1 yards per carry) and six rushing touchdowns in 16 games (seven starts). He added 16 receptions for 115 yards and another score. The 26-year-old lost playing time later in the season to Ronald Jones II and was merely a lottery ticket as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in deeper leagues. Landing in D.C. isn't the best place for him fantasy wise, as he joins a backfield consisting of Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice and Bryce Love. Barber probably won't see many touches unless an injury or two opens up playing time for him.
