AJ Barner vs SF: Streaming Tight End Option in Key NFC West Clash

Barner operates as Seattle's lead tight end as the Seahawks host the undefeated 49ers in an important divisional matchup. He has seen steady involvement with 12 targets across his last two appearances, while also offering sneaky goal-line utility after punching in a short rushing touchdown earlier this season.

Our weekly projections forecast Barner for roughly 3 receptions and 31 receiving yards, giving him a projection of about 8 fantasy points. Given heavy target competition from wideouts like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and a low roster percentage under 10%, Barner profiles primarily as a touchdown-dependent streaming option for deeper leagues.

Germie Bernard vs IND — Expanding Depth Role in Pittsburgh's Passing Attack

With Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve due to a foot injury, rookie receiver Germie Bernard has an opportunity to carve out additional rotational snaps. Working behind DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson on the depth chart, Bernard has hauled in three catches for 25 yards over his last two games, earning occasional trust from Aaron Rodgers.

Despite the injuries in the receiving corps, Bernard remains a low-volume option. Our projections anticipate roughly 2.4 receptions on nearly four targets for 29 receiving yards (6.4 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. Started in just 1% of leagues, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on the bench or treat him as a deep-league stash.
