AJ Barner vs KC: Expanded tight end role against Kansas City
AJ Barner steps into an undisputed lead tight end role following Elijah Arroyo's season-ending shoulder surgery. While Barner has spent much of this season among the league leaders in run-blocking snaps, his receiving involvement has ticked up, catching six of nine targets over the past two weeks.
Our weekly projections slate Barner for around three catches and 30 yards (totaling roughly 7.9 fantasy points) against an undefeated Chiefs squad. While his snap count will remain elevated, sharing targets with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp keeps his yardage ceiling modest, leaving him as a touchdown-dependent, deep-league streaming consideration.

Daniel Jones at Minnesota — Turnover Troubles Cloud Road Test Against Unbeaten Vikings
Head coach Shane Steichen reaffirmed Daniel Jones as the starter for Week 7 despite front-office turmoil and persistent turnover issues, including six interceptions across six games. Coming off a two-interception outing against Tennessee, Jones faces a tough road test against an undefeated 5-0 Vikings defense with Indianapolis listed as 6.5-point underdogs.
With starting rates down to roughly 3%, fantasy managers have largely moved away from the veteran. Our projections anticipate 211 passing yards and 1.3 passing touchdowns with minimal rushing impact, yielding 14.5 fantasy points. Given a modest 41.5 over/under and his elevated turnover risk, Jones is best left on benches in 1QB formats.
