AJ Barner News
Monday, May 4, 10:35 AM
Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner emerged as a red zone weapon in 2025, recording 52 receptions for 519 yards and six touchdowns on 68 targets across 17 games. Seattle also used the 24-year-old as its "tush push" quarterback, which allowed Barner to pick up an extra touchdown as a rusher. All told, Barner finished as the TE14 in half-PPR fantasy scoring. However, despite the solid year, Barner may profile as a sell-high candidate in dynasty leagues heading into 2026. For one, he remained a low-volume receiver in 2025, averaging just four targets per game. Additionally, the Seahawks could expand the role of 2025 second-round tight end Elijah Arroyo, who likely offers a higher upside as a pass-catcher than Barner. Barner's rushing usage gives him some additional fantasy upside, but he's likely too reliant on touchdowns to be counted on as a reliable producer at the tight end position going forward.

Terrance Ferguson News
Saturday, April 25, 6:36 PM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson's dynasty value took a significant hit during the 2026. NFL Draft. The Rams spent their second-round pick on Ohio State's Max Klare, who is a pass-catching tight end with high upside. It seems as though Los Angeles is refusing to let Ferguson have an easy path to the No. 1 tight end role. Not only is Klare an obstacle for him, but the Rams also re-signed Tyler Higbee, who should continue to have a significant role within the position group. It's not completely crazy to suggest that Ferguson could fall as low as fourth on the depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Higbee, and Klare. In all likelihood, we'll see a frustrating dynamic similar to what the Rams showed near the end of last season when they incorporated multiple tight ends. Ferguson had one catch over four games from Week 12-15, then randomly broke out with touchdowns in back-to-back contests. Meanwhile, Parkinson was the TE67 from Week 1-9, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. If the Rams adopt a similar approach to handling the tight end position, it will be tough to know which Rams tight end to start in a given week, if any at all. Maybe Ferguson's dynasty outlook will get clearer after Parkinson's contract expires next March, but for now, this is a crowded position group that we want no part of. Ferguson can be avoided in redraft leagues, and he's a fringe top-30 tight end in dynasty formats.
