AJ Barner off Fantasy Radar in Week 6

Wednesday, October 14, 2:34 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner has struggled to shake loose this season. He does not project to do so in a Week 6 matchup with the Denver Broncos. This is a plus-matchup for tight ends given that the Broncos are No. 21 against opposing tight ends in fantasy. However, Barner is not receiving enough volume to merit fantasy consideration. Week 5 marked just the second time this season that Barner recorded at least five targets. Both of Barner's five-plus target games have come when quarterback Sam Darnold was forced to air the ball out consistently. The Broncos are entering this game with a struggling offense against a strong Seahawks defense. As such, Seattle's total passing volume should be low, especially if the team is able to get its ground game going against a weak Broncos rushing defense. Barner will have a spike game or two throughout the season, but this does not project to be one of them.

Kenyon Sadiq's Concussion Status Creates Week 6 Uncertainty

Saturday, October 17, 7:54 AM

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) practiced fully Friday but remains questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. The rookie exited New York's Week 5 victory over Cleveland early and has spent the week progressing through the concussion protocol. His production has been inconsistent, although his seven-catch, 105-yard performance against Detroit in Week 3 demonstrated his receiving potential. Sadiq has 14 receptions for 146 yards and one receiving touchdown through five games, along with a rushing score. His opportunities could remain limited by the Jets' use of multiple tight ends, particularly with Mason Taylor back in the lineup. Nevertheless, Sadiq offers more explosive-play potential than New York's other options at the position. He carries some streaming appeal in deeper leagues if cleared, but fantasy managers should have another option available until his playing status is officially confirmed.
