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.

Keaton Mitchell at Kansas City — Pass-Catching Role Offers Flex Appeal

Operating as the primary change-of-pace back behind Omarion Hampton, Mitchell enters Week 6 fully healthy after shaking off an earlier ankle issue. He has maintained consistent receiving utility in the Chargers' backfield, securing eight receptions across his last two games to complement his modest rushing role.

With the winless Chargers facing an undefeated Chiefs team as significant road underdogs, negative game script could funnel extra targets Mitchell's way. Our models project him for around 21 rushing yards and two catches (6.2 fantasy points). Considering the offensive line cluster injuries, Mitchell profiles as a low-floor, matchup-dependent flex or deep-league PPR play.
