NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Raiders RB Peyton Barber is expected to “handle some of the lead back duties” in Week 2 against the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact: Josh Jacobs has already been ruled out, which leaves Barber and Kenyan Drake as the top two RBs for Las Vegas. Drake remains the preferred fantasy start of the duo, but we can’t assume he’ll transition into a bell-cow sans Jacobs. It sounds as if Barber will be a factor on early downs, in particular.
