The Facts:
HC Wade Phillips has decided to have the NFC's Super Bowl favorite open the playoffs with a different look on offense. According to Cowboys sources, Pro Bowler Barber will replace season-long starter Julius Jones in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN's Ed Werder suggested, the move is a belated acknowledgement that Barber is the team's best runner, blocker and receiver out of the backfield. Although Barber has not started a single game this season, he is responsible for all three of the Cowboys' individual 100-yard rushing performances. The Cowboys are 8-0 when Barber scores a rushing touchdown. He has 23 rushes for 99 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' two regular-season victories over the Giants.
