I know it's the most boring play I'll bring up all summer, but kind of like A.J. Barner. Like he was pretty good last year down the stretch... who's to say A.J. Barner doesn't get some more red zone love, score six, seven touchdowns, and you know, hauls in like 59 balls and has a surprisingly good year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Sleeper with 6–7 TD upside; trusted by Darnold down the stretch.

Secondary receiver sleeper added to top-200 list; was solid down the stretch last year with Sam Darnold's trust. Projection: 6–7 touchdowns and 59 receptions with potential for more red zone love, suggesting a surprisingly good year is possible. Source notes 'I know it's the most boring play I'll bring up all summer, but kind of like A.J. Barner.' Expects either Barner or Elijah Royal to have usable weeks.
