6 Undervalued Players Available Late in Fantasy Football Best-Ball Drafts

Round 14: Peyton Barber

Overall ADP: 168
Positional ADP: RB58

Ronald Jones was drafted in the second round back in April by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that signals that the Bucs see Jones as a player who can be their primary ballcarrier.

But don't forget about Peyton Barber. Barber handled more than 100 carries for Tampa Bay last year and performed pretty well, per numberFire metrics.

Here at numberFire, our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric measures the expected points a player adds to his team's total based on historical expectation, and Success Rate measures the percentage of carries that leads to an increase in expected points for the drive.

Among the 47 running backs with at least 100 carries in 2017, Barber ranked 5h in success rate (45.37%). He also ranked 11th in Rushing NEP per carry (0.01) in that same sample of backs.

While Barber was efficient last season, he will be locked into a committee this season with Jones and Charles Sims, barring injury. But Barber should be the Buccaneers' primary back in the red zone.

Not only is Barber (5'10, 228 pounds) a bigger back than Jones (5'11, 205 pounds), but Barber had the most red-zone carries for the Bucs last season. Barber had 21 red-zone carries, 1 more than Doug Martin. Sims was a non-factor in the red zone last year, not receiving any carries and seeing only six targets in the passing game.

As the Buccaneers' primary red-zone back with potential for more should Jones disappoint as a rookie, Barber is undervalued as the 58th running back off the board in best-ball leagues.
