SportsDay fantasy guru Ladd Biro believes that might be the case this week. Marion Barber, RB, Dallas vs. St. Louis: Barber's still not starting, but Julius Jones is coming off his second concussion of the season and the duo faces one of the league's softest rush defenses. I'm not sure there's any back I'd start ahead of Barber this week. I feel pretty foolish for making fun of the No. 24-jersey wearing goober who drafted Barber in the second round in my league. Especially since I play that dude this week. |

And I am feeling especially smart for having traded Rothlisberger and Julius Jones for Barber in m league. I had Romo and Rothliberger so losing Roth isn't hurting me especially. Adding Barber in place of Julius has given me a boost. Now all I need is for Andre Johnson to get back from his knee injury and I'll almost mave a moster team
QB Romo
RB Barber
RB McGahee -- a little weak but I have hopes
WR Harrison
WR Andre Johnson
D Dallas
TE Cooley -- ja, I know he's a Redskin but he was the best on the board at the time
K Nedney
I'm averaging over 100pts/wk in a 14 team keeper league

I am in 2 leagues and have Barber on both my teams. I drafted him early in both and I have a #24 Thanksgiving jersey as well. I am doing very well this year I must say. In one I have Romo and Barber. On the other I have T.O. and Barber. He had 14 + 2 TD's last year. Why would this not be going up for an obviously improving player!!!!!? At least those were my thoughts and I am never wrong HAHA

Just as long as T.O. and Romo hook up a couple of times, then Marion can have the rest of the TDs. I would prefer that he catch the TDs from Romo instead of just running them in.
And Bill, I am happy to report not one Redskin on my team.

At the rate the Cowboys are scoring, it would be hard to argue that Barber isn't a top fantasy RB. But I still think Julius Jones will eventually break out and take a chunk of the spotlight with his biggest year as a Cowboy. I was going to predict it would happen this week, until I heard about the two concussions. Now I wonder if he'll be limited.

I have Barber on my team. I'm in a 10 team league on Yahoo and picked 9th. I drafted Willie Parker and Laurence Maroney with my 1st two picks, then took Barber in the 3rd round. I'm sitting in first place in the league and have the most total points. Barber is a hoss so far.
I also picked up Nick Folk after my draftee at the K position got hurt in week 1. Two weeks in a row now I have answered huge days by my opposing QBs (Palmer 6 TDs 2 weeks ago and McNabb 4 TDs last week) with big point totals from Barber and Folk. Keep it comin for me and for the team!

"but Julius Jones is coming off his second concussion of the season"
When has Jones gotten a concussion? I have heard nothing of this.
