Barner brought in four of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for one yard in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Barner helped spark the Seahawks' second-half rally with a 26-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Barner's TD grab snapped a nine-game scoreless drought, and the second-year pro's yardage total was his highest in the last five contests. Barner will look to carry the momentum from his best performance in more than a month over into a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Barner caught three of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Barner has been targeted 19 times over the last four weeks, turning in 12 receptions for 107 yards and no touchdowns. After starting the season with four touchdowns through the first five games, Barner has been kept out of the end zone for nine straight contests. The second-year tight end remains the Seahawks' clear No. 1 at the position however, especially with rookie Elijah Arroyo (knee) done for the rest of the regular season.

Barner caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Barner continued to operate as the Seahawks No. 1 tight end Sunday, but he was unable to have a major impact in the passing attack. The 23-year-old, while getting consistent targets each week, has been unable to find the end zone since Week 5, limiting his fantasy upside. Barner will have his next opportunity to take a step forward and improve upon his recent weeks' limited production when the Seahawks host the Colts in Week 15.

Barner (knee/shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barner followed up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later, clearing him to continue serving as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end. In such a role, he's put together a respectable 37-359-4 line on 46 targets in 12 games to date.

Barner was limited at practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barner paces Seattle's group of tight ends most weeks, clearing an 80 percent snap share eight times in 12 games this season. The results have been more tepid in the box score, as evidenced by a 37-359-4 line on 46 targets on the campaign in an offense that is run-heavy and also has a clear top receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Barner will have two more chances to prove his health this week before Friday's practice report potentially includes a designation for Sunday's contest in Atlanta.

Barner brought in four of five targets for 35 yards while taking his only carry for two yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Barner finished Sunday's contest as Seattle's leading receiver with the team executing a run-heavy game plan against Minnesota. The versatile tight end ran another successful variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," marking his ninth rushing attempt of the season. Barner has been a pleasant surprise for those in deeper fantasy formats with 37 receptions for 359 yards and five total touchdowns across 12 starts.

Barner recorded two receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Barner was one of three players to earn four targets, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba dominated opportunity in the Seattle offense. Both of Barner's catches came on the Seahawks' first possession, and he did help the team get into field-goal range to tie the game at 3-3. He has at least three targets in seven of his last eight games, though he's also been held to 35 yards or less five times in that span.

Barner corralled 10 of 11 targets for 70 yards while taking two carries for one yard in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Barner bounced back nicely from a zero-catch effort in Week 10 to post career-best marks in targets, receptions and yardage against the Rams. The sophomore tight end recorded two more carries on Seattle's variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," but only one attempt proved to be successful in the divisional loss. Barner's big game pushed him up to 31 receptions for 306 yards through 10 starts, surpassing his rookie year totals of 30 and 245, respectively.

Barner rushed twice for three yards but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks threw the ball just 12 times, as they scored 38 points in the first half and benefited from two defensive touchdowns. Thus, Barner failed to secure a target for the first time this season while handling just 23 offensive snaps. He should return to his typical pass-catching role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Barner (calf) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Barner followed up back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 10 prep due to a calf injury with a full session Friday, but he still entered the weekend listed as questionable. Despite the designation, he'll be available to a Seahawks offense that'll be down two wide receivers in Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf). As a result, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak could lean more on the team's tight ends in the passing game Sunday.
