From the article

Barner made his presence felt throughout Seattle's Super Bowl run and that success could carry over into 2026. He struggled with volume as the fourth and fifth option in the offense but he became a favorite red-zone target of Sam Darnold, which could buoy any tight end in fantasy. If he can hold off second-year TE Elijah Arroyo, a similar season in production can be expected for Barner.

Red-zone favorite for Darnold; must fend off Arroyo for consistent role.
