Why is Marion Barber ranked so low in nearly every fantasy football player ranking system?

I've been busy and not able to follow off-season football as closely as I would like, so is there an explanation for the consistently sub-par rank he's been given?Why is Marion Barber ranked so low in nearly every fantasy football player ranking system?
No T.O. to open up the running game.





Felix Jones and Tashard Choice will take some touches away from him too.Why is Marion Barber ranked so low in nearly every fantasy football player ranking system?
Well i Like Marion for fantasy also but I'm going to guess his low value contributes to the fact that dallas is now a split back team. It hard to a top fantasy player when you split carries with another running back and get half the TD's stolen. The loss of TO don't help either, in fact they lost a lot of good players and I have a feeling Dallas will struggle this year, Marion may be getting stuffed at the line since teams don't have to worry about putting extra men on TO down field.
People think Marion Barber is injury-prone. And, quite frankly, the people are right. Barber has not started every game of a season yet in his career. Also, with Felix Jones and Tashard Choice behind him, people may concerned of a running back committee system. One more reason is that he's never run for over 1,000 yards in a season.
