SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #58   
Overall: #240


Barber had his most disappointing season with the Cowboys. He had career lows in rushing yards and attempts, and touchdowns. He battled injury once again, missing three games while being slowed in others. But even when healthy, Barber took a backseat to Felix Jones most weeks. Barber's season high rushing yards was 58. He had double-digit carries just five times all year. Barber doesn't have a 1,000-yard rushing season but does have double-digit touchdowns twice in his career. He probably isn't suited to start after having that chance past seasons, but is a good platoon back. He should serve this role with his new team, the Bears. Barber runs with a lot power and also has decent moves in the open field for a man of his size. And he is a better than average receiver, having 174 receptions in six seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Barber has been very ordinary the last few years. He might be worth a late-round flier because he has some upside because of his success around the goal line and as a pass catcher, but don't expect a huge jump in his numbers. He isn't getting any younger and his running style lends itself to injury.
The Chicago Bears could consider releasing RB Marion Barber III because he is scheduled to make $1.9 million next season.
Fantasy Impact: He didn't play too bad in a reserve role so we wouldn't rule out a come back.
