Antone Smith?

Terron Ward?

Bucs not allowing a ton of yards to RBs, but they give up the 9th most fantasy points to RBs. With Coleman out, he's definitely a good play.

Good plays sometimes bust, but doesn't change the fact that they were a good play going in.

Freeman definitely.

I think Barber is a safer play if I have to choose a Tampa RB

60 yards and a TD, but I am not confident about that

Roll with Freeman, Short week ... they will give him the ball to take pressure off of Ryan during this short week

You're talking like Freeman isn't an RB1 and automatic start every week

I'm kind of liking Barber tonight.

He's the bigger back and should get goal line work.

He did get 12 carries week 7 and was productive.

Smith as never gone over 5-6 touches in a game in his career.

Barber looked pretty decent, Atlanta gives up a ton of touches to RB's.

I want none of this garbage but I am crushed with bye weeks like Byron and I think I'm gonna roll with Barber.

Yea Smith has never had more than 4 carries not just touches in one game, but does that matter when he scores on a long play?

The guy hasn't really needed to. He is sort of like a Desean Jackson as far as big play potential.

He had games were he had something like 4 carries for 64yds and and one carry was a TD over 50 yds.

He has done the same thing in games where he had 1 reception for 50 something yards and a TD.

Atlanta isn`t going to shut anybody down completely.

Every week someone starts a legitimate starting RB and guess what they don't always perform well. It`s fantasy football anything can happen. Anybody remember Bryce Brown? The guy comes off the bench for Leseann McCoy in Philly and has two monster games back to back and then he kind of disappears.

Can`t win them all, but you can try.

I keep seeing this, if this dude can score on only 4 touches consistently, why the hell is he not the starter?

Cause its like Roulette, it only hits green every once in awhile.

I`m not declaring anything like Tizzime does.

Just saying I don`t think he is a bad choice and I believe it`s very possible he can do some good things. In other words I think he has big play potential the same as Terron Ward.

Both actually could come through if Trufant shuts down Evans.

Not sure why you wouldn't trust Freeman...without Coleman he was a top 3 back last year.

The other 3 I would shy from if I had better options but most this week don't because of byes.

Any reason to think Barber would be a better option than Ingram?

Started the year with Peterson, Martin, Crowell, Ingram, Abdullah, and Coleman. Ingram and Crowell are my only two options for this week but I could pick up Barber who is sitting there in Free Agency.

In the past when the Saints have sat Ingram, he comes out like a bull in a china cabinet. Running over everybody looking for contact.

I wouldn`t start Barber over Ingram

No. I would still take Ingram. Better RB in the better offense, in the better RBBC.
