From the episode
A.J. Barner on the Seahawks, who could be, like, the second or third pass catcher on this team...500 yards, six touchdowns last year. He had 50 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl...77% of snaps last year. 12th in routes run per drop back...the new offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury, was the tight ends coach on the Niners for the last four years with George Kittle.
STACKED’s take
Barner top-6 sleeper; 500 yards, 6 TDs, 77% snaps, new TE-friendly OC
The source identifies Barner as a potential top-six tight end sleeper for the Seahawks. He had 500 yards and six touchdowns last year, plus 50 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. He played 77% of snaps and was 12th in routes run per drop back, more than expected. The new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury was the tight ends coach on the 49ers for four years with George Kittle, suggesting the Seahawks may feature the tight end more. Barner is a good blocker and can be on the field a lot, and he's been productive in the red zone. The main concern is if Arroyo breaks out and gets more usage, but Barner's blocking ability and dual-threat profile should keep him on the field.
