Peyton Barber, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Price: $5,500

Going up in price a bit here, Peyton Barber and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a solid 25.75-point implied total this week.

Barber hasn't been the most efficient back this season, but his volume makes him hard to ignore when he's priced this low. He has at least 14 carries in each of his last six games, with at least 16 opportunities (carries plus targets) in each of those six. In that stretch, he's averaging 17.0 carries and 2.0 targets per game.

His production hasn't been huge, but he has at least 13 FanDuel points in three of those six games, and his matchup this week should give him little trouble converting volume to fantasy scoring.

The Atlanta Falcons are notoriously generous through the air to running backs, allowing the most receptions per game to the position by a big margin (8.0, with the next-highest in the league being 7.1 per game). They also rank only 31st in numberFire's Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric.
