Barner anytime TD at +380 exploits Denver LB coverage vulnerability in red zone

Barner is an intriguing anytime touchdown scorer candidate at +380 odds because of his role in Seattle's passing game and favorable matchup against Denver's linebackers. He has caught 12 passes for 122 yards through five games, averaging 24.4 receiving yards per contest. The source notes that Alex Singleton's coverage vulnerability when offenses attack the middle of the field with tight ends creates an opportunity for Barner in the red zone. Seattle can use motion, play-action, and formations to force Denver's linebackers into difficult decisions, giving Barner a realistic path to the end zone.
