Outlook AJ Barner
AJ Barner vs. Patriots — Touchdown-Dependent Streaming Option at Home
Barner enters Week 1 completely off the injury report after logging full practices with an oblique issue, solidifying his role atop Seattle's tight end depth chart. While Seattle's offensive scheme is expected to utilize two-tight-end sets frequently alongside Elijah Arroyo, Barner faces stiff target competition from wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed in Sam Darnold's passing attack.
Rostered in just 12% of leagues and started in 2%, Barner remains a touchdown-or-bust play rather than a trustworthy starter. Our weekly projection pegs him for around two receptions and 22 receiving yards on three targets against New England. Fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard leagues, reserving him primarily for deep-format streaming.

Outlook Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price vs. NE — Primed for a Lead Role in NFL Debut
The rookie first-rounder steps directly into Seattle's lead running back role for Week 1 at home against New England, especially with Zach Charbonnet sidelined on PUP following a knee injury. With George Holani and Emanuel Wilson backing him up, Price is positioned to handle the bulk of early-down work after earning high praise for his all-around versatility in camp.
Our weekly projections expect immediate dividends, modeling him for roughly 13 carries, 56 rushing yards, and nearly 12 fantasy points. Fantasy managers are already trusting him with a 76% start rate, and as home favorites, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong RB2.
