• Raiders' Peyton Barber: Uninvolved in Week 18

  01/11/2022 • By RotoWire

  Barber did not log an offensive snap in Sunday's 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers. Barber's role was limited to special teams in the Week 18 thriller, while starter Josh Jacobs handled a full workload out of the backfield with 26 carries for 132 yards and a touchdown to go along with a pair of receptions. Barber wraps up his 2021 regular season with 55 total carries for 212 yards and two scores in 10 games. He also added 10 catches on 13 targets for 67 receiving yards. Expect the aforementioned Jacobs to maintain his workhorse role in a wild-card matchup against the Bengals on Saturday.

  Barber rushed for 22 yards and a touchdown on five carries and he caught his only target for no gain in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos. Barber finished Sunday's contest with 22 fewer carries than Josh Jacobs, but he found the end zone early in the third quarter for the Raiders' only rushing score of the game. Barber once again worked ahead of fellow backup Jalen Richard, who picked up nine yards on two touches. Nonetheless, expect Jacobs to retain his workhorse role in Week 17 against the Colts.

• Raiders' Peyton Barber: Five carries in win

  12/22/2021 • By RotoWire

  Barber carried five times for 34 yards and brought in his only target for 12 yards in Monday's 16-14 win over the Browns. Barber operated as the No. 2 running back behind Josh Jacobs, but he played only 13 of the Raider's 69 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow backup Jalen Richard logged 11 snaps in his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The near-even split between the two reserve backs limits the potential of both players to make a major fantasy impact while Jacobs operates as the clear-cut No. 1 option while Kenyan Drake (ankle) is out for the season.

• Raiders' Peyton Barber: Two receptions in loss

  12/13/2021 • By RotoWire

  Barber caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs. He also added seven rushing yards on one carry. Barber was relatively uninvolved as the Raiders fell behind by 35 points in the first half of Sunday's tilt, resulting in a pass-heavy game script for quarterback Derek Carr as starting running back Josh Jacobs tallied single-digit rushing attempts. Barber's playing time should remain limited against the Browns in Week 15, and fellow backup Jalen Richard may return from the reserve/COVID-19 list soon.
