Outlook AJ Barner

AJ Barner at Denver — Low-Volume Streaming Flier in Low-Scoring Matchup

AJ Barner sits atop Seattle's tight end depth chart and has settled into a modest role, seeing eight targets over his last two games while working ahead of Elijah Arroyo and Eric Saubert. He is fully healthy, though he continues to compete for looks behind top wide receivers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed.

In a matchup carrying a modest 40.5 projected total against Denver, our projections slate Barner for around 2.6 receptions and 26 yards (7.3 fantasy points). Started in under 4% of fantasy leagues, his limited yardage ceiling keeps him off the standard 12-team radar as a touchdown-dependent deep-league play.
