we will be seeing Barner and Elijah Arroyo's route tree expand. I'm talking about Barner running an over route, or Arroyo lining up out wide, or (in Arroyo's case) catching a shovel pass after a fake handoff from Sam Darnold.

Barner's route tree expanding under Fleury; more Shanahan-style usage expected.

Under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, Barner's route tree is expected to expand beyond last year's usage. The source notes the Seahawks will lean into Shanahan Offense principles more than Klint Kubiak did, with Barner running routes like overs and catching shovel passes after fake handoffs. Additionally, in situational drills with heavy pressure, Darnold looked to Barner as an outlet, and Barner was targeted on a play where he caught a pass over the middle (though it was intercepted by Drake Thomas).
