2023 Fantasy Outlook
Barton started only five games in his first three years with the Seahawks, despite being a 2019 third-round pick, but he finally broke out in 2022 for 136 tackles in 17 games (11 starts). He also had two sacks and two interceptions, with some struggles in coverage and against the run. In March, Barton settled for a one-year, $3.5 million contract in Washington, where Jamin Davis profiles as the top linebacker after Cole Holcomb's offseason departure. Barton should get a lot of snaps, but perhaps not as many as his 862 in Seattle last year (77 percent share). Read Past Outlooks

Team tackle leader again
LBWashington Commanders
September 26, 2023
Barton recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 37-3 loss versus the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Barton led his squad in tackles for the second consecutive game in Week 3, keeping him on pace for his second straight 100-tackle season. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups in Week 4 as Washington prepares for a run-heavy Philadelphia offense.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Bobby Wagner was cut this offseason, meaning Jordyn Brooks - who was second in the NFL with 184 tackles last season - will take over as the team's defensive play caller. The Seahawks didn't make any big moves in the draft or free agency to replace Wagner, so Barton has a clear path to a starting gig. A 2019 third-round pick, Barton still is at risk of losing the job if the Seahawks add a veteran, but if he secures it for Week 1, his IDP upside could be massive. After all, Wagner managed to post 170 tackles even with Brooks having a career year.
