MrCarter Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 This little s.o.b. Felix Jones is really pissing me off - MB3 was my first round pick this year, and now I read this: "Barber is averaging 4.2 yards per carry after averaging 4.8 in each of the last two seasons. There's a good chance he'll see fewer opportunities with rookie Felix Jones emerging as a threat out of the backfield." Should I try and deal him before other owners catch on, or am I just panicking? I could probably get Bush in a heartbeat... (PPR league) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJV Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Barber will get his 20+carries a game. No need to panic. I have Felix and only used him this week due to byes and was pleasantly surprised of his gameplay. I wouldnt worry about Barber at all.

I'd think of them as complementary backs - MBIII will lose some touches. Dallas would be foolish not to utilize Felix more. BUT... MB is still a solid back on a great offense - so he's still a RB1 to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85thatstright10 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I wouldn't trade him for bush or anyone else for that matter...by the end of the year his numbers will be as good as anyones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I wouldn't trade Barber....but he may not get 25+ carries much more with felix stealing close to 10 from here on out. http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?show...p;#entry2642755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I own Barber also and he will be just fine. Felix is a great compliment for him. There will be games that Barber will pound the other team in to submission and games that Felix slices and dices to loosen them up for Barber. No need to worry. Barber will be a beast around the goal line. He will get his. By the way don't go jinxin the Boys by name calling our new pet cat. I love the kid. Let him roll.

Snave88 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I wouldn't panic right now either. I like Barber far more than Bush. Now if you can deal him for Bush and another player that may work out a little better, but I still wouldn't dump Barber. He's the Barbarian for Christ's sake, a beast, and I agree with the other posters that by the end of the year he will stand with the best backs in rankings/production. KEEP HIM!

'Cause dude is pretty money when it comes to these things. Yes, Jones looks great. However, Barber is still getting the bulk of the carries and will continue to put up very, very solid numbers.
