Peyton Barber has been a nice surprise this season in fantasy football, but I don’t like the match-up for him in week 16. Barber and the Bucs will head to Dallas to face a really good Cowboys defense in their home stadium.

The Cowboys defense is pretty good everywhere, but their run D is especially good. That does not bode well for Barber, who is coming off an 85 yard rushing performance a week ago (plus a touchdown).

While it might seem risky to bench a guy who has been pretty serviceable to this point, Barber will have a rough go of it in Dallas this weekend. The Cowboys have everything to lose if they allow the Bucs to get that offense going, so Barber could get shut down early.

Leave Peyton Barber on the bench.
