Finds end zone again Barner caught all three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
Impact The Seahawks are dedicated to using two tight-end sets, and Barner continues to serve as the lead tight end with an 86 percent snap share. He's starting to look like a compelling red-zone target for QB Sam Darnold with two targets in three games, but his floor remains quite low, as the second-year tight end has never produced more than 34 yards in a game.

One catch in blowout win Barner caught his lone target for 23 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.
Impact Barner played just 52 percent of the offensive snaps while rookie Elijah Arroyo handled 50 percent, but the split was likely due to the blowout nature of the game rather than a changing of the guard at Seattle's tight-end position. A fourth-round pick in 2024, Barner has produced four receptions for 49 yards through three games this season.

Scores in Sunday's win Barner caught two of three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.
Impact The second-year tight end caught a seven-yard touchdown on the Seahawks' first drive of the second half. Barner continues to handle a massive workload, as he logged an 89 percent snap share in Week 2 compared to rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo's 39 percent mark. Still, that has translated to just six targets through two weeks for Barner. The Michigan product wasn't known for his pass-catching abilities in college, but we should continue to see high snap counts due to his run-blocking acumen.

Handles big workload Sunday Barner rushed once for two yards and caught one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
Impact Barner played 44 of the team's 52 offensive snaps, clearly out-snapping rookie second-round pick Elijah Arroyo (16 snaps). The Seahawks look committed to the run game, and Barner is considered the better run blocker of the two, meaning he should maintain an edge in snap counts moving forward. However, Barner won't provide much fantasy value unless he finds the end zone, which he did four times as a rookie.

Logs one catch with starters Barner pulled in his only target for five yards in Friday's preseason win over the Chiefs.
Impact Barner -- who is competing with rookie Elijah Arroyo for the starting tight end job -- started Friday's exhibition with the first-team offense. The 2024 fourth-round pick nabbed new quarterback Sam Darnold's first target as a member of the Seahawks. Barner appears to have the early edge in the competition after posting decent totals (30-245-4) as a rookie backup in 2024.
