Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions
With Doug Martin out last week, Peyton Barber took over with a strong 102-yard game on 23 carries. He also led the team in receiving with 41 yards on 4 catches.
Barber showed a lot more in that game than Martin has so far this season, so even though the veteran is healthy and should return this week, his status is a little unclear. We're expecting Barber to be the main carrier again, although that can change once Sunday comes.
If Barber does start, he'll get a favorable matchup against the Lions. Detroit has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this season and has struggled to stop recent opponents. The Lions have allowed 100+ rushing yards to backs in four straight games. In addition, a back has scored a TD against Detroit in every game but one this season. Assuming Barber starts, he'll be a decent RB2 this week.
