Finds paydirt four times as rookie
Barner caught 30 passes (on 38 targets) for 245 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games with the Seahawks in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Barner operated as the Seahawks' No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant. The rookie fourth-round pick managed to finish third among all Seahawks pass-catchers with four touchdowns despite never recording more than 34 yards in a game. Fant has one year remaining on his contract, meaning Barner will likely serve as the No. 2 tight end again in 2025.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Barner’s the definition of a project, so he’s unlikely to play a significant role for Seattle in 2024 after being selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In 40 college games split between Indiana and Michigan, Barner had just 610 yards and five touchdowns. Barner’s 6-foot-6, and his 82-inch wingspan is the largest among tight ends in the 2024 draft class, so he has the tools to develop into a red-zone threat, but he’s far from a burner (4.84-second 40-yard dash). If Barner can excel early as a blocker despite being light for his height (251 pounds), he has a chance to push Pharaoh Brown for the top backup spot behind Noah Fant as a rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay atop depth chart Week 12
