The Seattle Seahawks will host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE AJ Barner.
Is AJ Barner Playing in Week 13?
Barner is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Seahawks’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Barner in Week 13?
Maybe the Seahawks just don’t need a Robin to Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s Batman?
AJ Barner had the 11-target game in Week 11 against the Rams, but that always felt like a red herring and it proved as much on Sunday against the Titans as he posted a sub-17% target share for the fifth consecutive victory.
He was held under 25 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games and run under 25 routes for the 10th time in 11 contests: there simply isn’t a secondary option in this passing game that we need to concern ourselves with.
Barner did see an end zone look and TD equity is the only reason you’d hold a player like this, hoping that the gravity of the offense alone is enough to get him into the top 15 at the position in any given week, but with that being just his third end zone look of the season, you’re chasing a ghost.
