Barner is 2026's fantasy TE sleeper as a 24yo full-time Super Bowl champ
As a 23-year-old, Barner played 95% and 90% of the Seahawks snaps in the NFC Conference Championship and the Super Bowl. He's simply one of the best all-around, young TEs in the NFL. Barner enters his prime and targets are up for grabs beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba. In his second season last year, Barner was the TE24 on a per-game basis. The Seahawks are unlikely to finish 2nd in points per game without OC Klint Kubiak, but they could be forced into more pass attempts if they aren't blowing out everyone like they did last year.
