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.
