Seahawks' AJ Barner: Long catch and run Sunday
Barner secured all three targets for 71 yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Barner finished in the relatively unfamiliar position of second in receiving yardage and tied with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the longest reception of the game. That catch covered a distance of 61 yards on the first play of Seattle's game-clinching drive, with Barner getting loose down the middle of the field after making the reception and taking the ball down to the Jaguars' 12-yard line. Barner has now set new single-game season highs in receiving yards in three consecutive contests, but he's typically much more of a shorter-area target for Sam Darnold and will remain a complementary pass-catching option in a tough Week 7 home matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Stays hot with career game Sunday
Barner hauled in all seven of his targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Barner followed up his best fantasy score of the season with a career game against the Commanders in Week 5, setting new personal single-game bests in receptions, yards and touchdowns. The surging sophomore nearly doubled his entire season production in the standout effort, bringing his receiving line up to 14-134-4 through five starts. Barner's rostered percentage in fantasy will surely skyrocket heading into next Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Finds end zone again
Barner caught all three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
The Seahawks are dedicated to using two-TE sets, and Barner continues to serve as the lead tight end with an 86 percent snap share. He's starting to look like a compelling red-zone target for QB Sam Darnold with two targets in four games, but his floor remains quite low, as the second-year tight end has never produced more than 34 yards in a game.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: One catch in blowout win
Barner caught his lone target for 23 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.
Barner played just 52 percent of the offensive snaps while rookie Elijah Arroyo handled 50 percent, but the split was likely due to the blowout nature of the game rather than a changing of the guard at Seattle's tight-end position. A fourth-round pick in 2024, Barner has produced four receptions for 49 yards through three games this season.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores in Sunday's win
Barner caught two of three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.
The second-year tight end caught a seven-yard touchdown on the Seahawks' first drive of the second half. Barner continues to handle a massive workload, as he logged an 89 percent snap share in Week 2 compared to rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo's 39 percent mark. Still, that has translated to just six targets through two weeks for Barner. The Michigan product wasn't known for his pass-catching abilities in college, but he should continue to see high snap counts due to his run-blocking acumen.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Handles big workload Sunday
Barner rushed once for two yards and caught one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
Barner played 44 of the team's 52 offensive snaps, clearly out-snapping rookie second-round pick Elijah Arroyo (16 snaps). The Seahawks look committed to the run game, and Barner is considered the better run blocker of the two, meaning he should maintain an edge in snap counts moving forward. However, Barner won't provide much fantasy value unless he finds the end zone, which he did four times as a rookie.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Logs one catch with starters
Barner pulled in his only target for five yards in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs.
Barner -- who is competing with rookie Elijah Arroyo for the starting tight end job -- started Friday's exhibition with the first-team offense. The 2024 fourth-round pick nabbed new quarterback Sam Darnold's first target as a member of the Seahawks. Barner appears to have the early edge in the competition after posting decent totals (30-245-4) as a rookie backup in 2024.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Opportunity awaits
Barner will compete with rookie Elijah Arroyo for the starting tight end job after the Seahawks released Noah Fant on Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The Seahawks selected Arroyo in the second round of April's draft and signed Eric Saubert this offseason, allowing them the flexibility to move on from Fant with one year left on his deal. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Barner started six games as a rookie and finished with 30 receptions for 245 yards and four touchdowns over 17 games. Barner will face stiff competition from Arroyo for the starting job in 2025. Arroyo is likely the better athlete of the two and should eventually command more attention in the passing game, but Barner will look to leverage his experience to hold off the newcomer.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Finds paydirt four times as rookie
Barner caught 30 passes (on 38 targets) for 245 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games with the Seahawks in 2024.
Barner operated as the Seahawks' No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant. The rookie fourth-round pick managed to finish third among all Seahawks pass-catchers with four touchdowns despite never recording more than 34 yards in a game. Fant has one year remaining on his contract, meaning Barner will likely serve as the No. 2 tight end again in 2025.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Gains 13 yards in win
Barner caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals.
Barner caught a short checkdown from QB Geno Smith and used his physicality to gain extra yards after the catch. The rookie fourth-round pick recorded a 38 percent snap share as the Seahawks' No. 2 tight end.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores in comeback win
Barner caught two passes (two targets) for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.
With Noah Fant (groin) back in the lineup, Barner reverted to No. 2 tight-end duties, recording a 40 percent snap share. Barner -- a rookie fourth-round pick -- reeled in a 12-yard pass from Geno Smith in the second quarter to get the Seahawks on the scoreboard. He doesn't have much upside in his current role unless he finds the end zone.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Three short catches in win
Barner caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.
Barner served as the Seahawks' top tight end with Noah Fant (knee) inactive. Through three games as the starter, Barner generated just nine receptions for 61 yards. Fant has a good chance to return in Week 13 versus the Jets, which would revert Barner to a No. 2 tight end role where he previously hovered around a 40 percent snap share.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Remaining top tight end Sunday
Barner is slated to remain the top option at tight end for the Seahawks in Sunday's game against the Cardinals with Noah Fant (groin) inactive for the contest.
The rookie fourth-round pick wasn't able to do much with expanded opportunity during Fant's first two absences in Weeks 9 and 11, generating a modest 6-42 line on 11 targets. Nevertheless, Barner should continue to profile as the top pass-catching option at his position versus Arizona, with veteran Pharaoh Brown also mixing in.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Just two catches in win
Barner caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.
Barner has served as the No. 1 tight end in each of the last two games with Noah Fant (groin) inactive. A rookie fourth-round pick, Barner has six catches for 42 yards over those two games. Thus, Barner's fantasy upside isn't that clear even if Fant is out again in Week 12 versus the Cardinals.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Replacing Fant again
Barner's teammate Noah Fant (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Fant previously missed a Week 9 loss to the Rams in which Barner played 91 percent of snaps and caught four of seven targets for 27 yards. It was Barner's first time with more than 48 percent snap share or three targets in an NFL game, with his role being larger than what Fant handles when healthy. Fant now is missing another game after a Week 10 bye, but Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told Dugar on Friday that he doesn't expect the veteran tight end to be placed on injured reserve.
