AJ Barner Upgrades to Full Participant on Thursday

Thursday, December 4, 9:25 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (knee, shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. This was an improvement after he was limited the day before. Barring any sort of setback, Barner should remain a full participant in Friday's practice, which would put him on track to play in Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. The 23-year-old is the overall TE18 in PPR leagues this year, but his fantasy value could slip a little against a Falcons defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Elijah Arroyo Should Remain Off Fantasy Radars in Week 11

Saturday, November 15, 3:51 PM

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo has recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. While Arroyo has flashed upside, his production ceiling is limited as he splits snaps with fellow Seahawks tight end AJ Barner. The Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Through 10 weeks, the Rams defense is allowing the seventh-fewest (6.6) yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Arroyo has not recorded more than five targets or four catches in any game this season, and he appears unlikely to surpass those marks against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Arroyo in Week 11 against the Rams.
