Yes please, more of that. Spend a 13th rounder on Choice for the RZ handcuff and it seems you are guaranteed >> 10 TDs over the year and about 1500 total yards. TO gone, Roy being hurt, and Felix's toe... this all seems like good news to me for Barber owners.


That's the thing, in general I don't think people are down on him which is why he is going in the second round. I personally just think that is a bit to high. Roy being hurt/TO being gone certainly is not a good thing for MBIII though, RBs are only made better by productive receivers that force teams to respect the pass and not load the box.


I've seen him falling quite a bit in drafts actually...which is why I've been able to grab him in a lot of drafts. The only drafts I've seen him go in the 2nd round in are the one's where I've drafted him in the 2nd as my RB2.


Hmm maybe my calibration is off then, must have been popular in the leagues I've drafted because he's always gone early 2nd in my leagues. I would consider nabbing him late 2nd early third.

Yea...I've seen him even dropping well into the 3rd in some drafts I've seen and/or been a part of. I don't know if he would have dropped further or not in some because I don't let him, but he's still going later than he probably should. I know because I was able to get him as a RB2 after drafting LT/Moss in round 1/2 in one league and still managed to grab him in the 3rd.

ive also been seen Barber slip into the mid to late 3rd round lately. He seems to be taken after Westy is off the board and either Barber, Portis, P.Thomas, or Ryan Grant is taken next depending on personal preference.

Thanks for the help. Barber ended up being taken before my spot. I thought I'd be left with Brown, Grant, Barber... but was instead left with Westbrook, Brown, Roddy White.

Went with Westbrook.
