Washington releases RB Peyton Barber

The Washington Football Team has released RB Peyton Barber, source said. A bit of a surprise.

Related players: Jaret Patterson, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic

Fantasy Impact:

Those in the dynasty world of fantasy football probably aren't surprised, though. The team will now likely keep undrafted free agent Patterson as the result of Barber's release. There was all kinds of positive feedback on Patterson's camp this season, and he looked good in preseason games on top of that. He now looks to be in a possible RB3 role and backup to Gibson while McKissic is the change of pace and pass-catching option.

Antonio Gibson wants to improve decision-making behind line

Washington Football Team RB Antonio Gibson told reporters that he should have approached a few plays differently in their preseason game against the New England Patriots. “In that situation you have to hit it downhill,” he said. “... I could have easily got that. My size, my speed could easily gotten the first down. We would have been in a better situation, given a better play call for coach."

WFT head coach Ron Rivera called Gibson a complete back and hopes he continues to want to improve and become a three-down back.

Fantasy Impact:

It is amazing to see how good Gibson was last season after playing receiver in college. He showed raw skill as a back and has shown with his words that learning the running back position is something he takes seriously. John Paulsen has Gibson ranked as his #12 running back in half-point PPR.

Washington looking to put RB Antonio Gibson into Christian McCaffrey-type role

Kyle Allen says Washington is trying to push Antonio Gibson into a similar role as Christian McCaffrey played in Carolina.

Related players: J.D McKissic, Jaret Patterson, Peyton Barber

Fantasy Impact:

That's a big role, as the tweet went on to say. But Rivera would know the role well, coming from Carolina. He's compared Gibson to McCaffrey in the past so it may not be a big surprise. But as we learned last year, McKissic is very nice pass catching back who could ease some of that workload, and undrafted free agent Patterson has looked good as well. He was recently compared to Darren Sproles. But this is certainly good news for Gibson and his potential workload.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson looking to get on field more

Antonio Gibson's opportunities will only increase as he continues to find other ways of being useful to the offense. He can be used more on third downs, and the coaches can put him in different personnel packages to spread out the defense. It means that Gibson will be on the field more often, and if last year is any indication, there's nothing wrong with that.

Fantasy Impact:

The turf toe is no longer an issue for Gibson, according to the story. The piece also said Gibson is just dipping his toes in the water when it comes to the nuances of the passing game, and the team doesn't want to give him too much at one time. But HC Ron Rivera said in the story he thinks Gibson can handle it, so as the season goes on, it's possible Gibson sees more snaps. Gibson is ranked 12th among our RBs.
