Seahawks' AJ Barner: Far more involvement in Week 11
Barner corralled 10 of 11 targets for 70 yards while taking two carries for one yard in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.
Barner bounced back nicely from a zero-catch effort in Week 10 to post career-best marks in targets, receptions and yardage against the Rams. The sophomore tight end recorded two more carries on Seattle's variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," but only one attempt proved to be successful in the divisional loss. Barner's big game pushed him up to 31 receptions for 306 yards through 10 starts, surpassing his rookie year totals of 30 and 245, respectively.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Rushes twice in divisional win
Barner rushed twice for three yards but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.
The Seahawks threw the ball just 12 times, as they scored 38 points in the first half and benefited from two defensive touchdowns. Thus, Barner failed to secure a target for the first time this season while handling just 23 offensive snaps. He should return to his typical pass-catching role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Active Sunday
Barner (calf) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Barner followed up back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 10 prep due to a calf injury with a full session Friday, but he still entered the weekend listed as questionable. Despite the designation, he'll be available to a Seahawks offense that'll be down two wide receivers in Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf). As a result, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak could lean more on the team's tight ends in the passing game Sunday.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Looking good for Sunday
Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he seems likely to play after logging a full practice Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The quick return to full participation confirms that Barner's injury isn't serious, though the Seahawks weren't quite ready to remove him from their injury report. He hasn't missed a game this season and should fill his usual role as the No. 1 tight end, which has resulted in four receiving touchdowns and one rushing score despite averaging just 3.25 targets per game.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Listed as questionable
Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Barner handled his normal workload during Sunday's win over the Commanders, including his first rushing TD of the season on his fourth QB sneak. He also has four receiving touchdowns, but he's averaging just 3.25 targets per game and now has the calf injury as a potential concern. Elijah Arroyo and Nick Kallerup will take on larger roles at tight end if Barner ends up on the inactive listed ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Remains limited at practice
Barner (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Barner maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to prove his health this week before the Seahawks potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Elijah Arroyo (elbow, FP this week) and Nick Kallerup are the healthy tight ends on Seattle's active roster at the moment.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Tending to calf issue
Barner was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Barner has earned at least an 80 percent snap share in six of eight games this season, but the cumulative results in the box score (21 catches for 236 yards on 26 targets) have been tepid aside from his penchant for getting in the end zone, which he's done four times. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores in blowout win
Barner caught three of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.
Barner took a direct snap in the third quarter and plowed into the end zone to extend the Seahawks' lead to 38-7. The second-year tight end continues to operate as the clear No. 1 on the depth chart ahead of rookie Elijah Arroyo, as Barner played 43 of 51 offensive snaps (84 percent) and finished tied for second on the team in targets. He's scored five touchdowns through eight games, but has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards per game.

Seahawks' AJ Barner: Held to one catch
Barner caught one pass on three targets for seven yards in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
There has been little target volume for anyone this season in the Seattle passing game behind lead wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Barner has served as the top tight end with 18 catches for 212 yards (third on the team) and four touchdowns (tied for first). Barner continues to impress as a blocker and should maintain a high snap count as a result. He needs to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy purposes, though.

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.
