Barner's clear path to volume in Seattle's passing game could push him into top-10 TE territory.

Barner enters 2026 with a clear path to early-season opportunity as Kenneth Walker III is gone and Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet are unavailable, forcing Seattle to rely on the passing game early. He proved he can handle meaningful volume with 52 receptions on 64 targets for 519 yards and six touchdowns last season. The source notes he is tough over the middle, reliable in contested situations, and disciplined in route running; if Seattle increases red-zone involvement for tight ends, he could push into top-10 territory and become a steady weekly starter.
