Barnidge secured three passes (five targets) for 27 yards in Sunday's tilt with the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

His 27 receiving yards were his most since Week 8, which just highlights how much of a struggle this season has been for the 31-year-old tight end. This was Barnidge's first full game with Robert Griffin under center, so it may take awhile for them to build a rapport. But if Griffin continues to struggle like he did against the Bengals, don't expect Barnidge to turn it around any time soon.

Barnidge (knee) is not listed on the Browns' Week 14 injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge suffered a knee injury against the Giants in Week 12, but the tight end obviously benefited from the Browns' subsequent bye week and is on track to suit up Sunday against the Bengals. Through 12 contests, Barnidge -- who scored nine times last season -- has recorded just one TD, while averaging 3.3 catches and 39 receiving yards per game in that span. While he's still an option in deeper fantasy formats, Barnidge is well off his 2015 pace, which resulted in a final 79/1,043/9 stat line.

Barnidge (knee) participated in practice Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the extent is unknown, Barnidge was able to practice Tuesday after injuring his knee during Sunday's game against the Giants. The Browns have a bye in Week 13, so the tight end will have plenty of time to rest and make sure his knee is good to go.

Barnidge suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Giants, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Barnidge picked up 57 of the Browns' 75 offensive snaps, the ailment may be partially to blame for his dismal showing (one catch for 11 yards on three targets). He'll have a Week 13 bye in which to improve his health, but there could be another change of signal callers when he next takes the field on Dec. 11 versus the Bengals. Josh McCown started the last two games, Cody Kessler cleared concussion protocol Monday, and Robert Griffin (shoulder) will have an exam in the near future to determine if he can handle contact. None the options have been especially friendly for Barnidge, who has managed just five 50-plus yard performances and one touchdown in 12 games this season.

Barnidge caught just one pass (three targets) for 11 yards versus the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Though Barnidge and Josh McCown hooked up for the tight end's first touchdown of the season in Week 11, McCown's presence for an entire game clearly had no positive impact on Barnidge. He was targeted just three times and walked away with a lone reception, while third-string tight end Seth DeValve saw more targets and caught three passes for 39 yards, which makes us wonder if Barnidge should shoulder more of the blame than his quarterbacks for his lackluster year. The 31-year-old will attempt to turn it around after the team's Week 13 bye.

Barnidge caught two passes (five targets) for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners rejoiced Sunday, as Barnidge was finally able to break the seal and find the end zone for the first time in 2016. It's been a rather unproductive season for the former Pro Bowler, but this could end up being a turning point. Barnidge's touchdown was delivered by Josh McCown, and with reports that Cody Kessler (concussion) could be shut down for the year, Barnidge and McCown have a chance to rediscover their rapport from 2015, which should automatically boost his fantasy value.

Barnidge caught one of four targets for eight yards Thursday versus the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

With another underwhelming outing, Barnidge just doesn't seem to be a big part of coach Hue Jackson's offensive game plan this season. The former Louisville Cardinal played a season-low 39 snaps and has just seven receptions over his last three games. He even lost out on a touchdown against the Ravens that instead went to third-string tight end Seth DeValve. Barnidge's fantastic 2015 campaign is now a distant memory, and with just a handful of games remaining, there's little hope he can recapture the magic.

Barnidge caught all three of his targets for 23 yards against the Cowboys on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With a season-low in catches and receiving yards, Barnidge had his most forgettable game of the season Sunday. The 31-year-old is still among the top 10 in targets among tight ends, but without a touchdown to his name in 2016, his value is beginning to drop.

Barnidge caught three of his seven targets for 42 yards versus the Jets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

On the first play of the game, Josh McCown hit Barnidge down the middle for a 32-yard gain, and it seemed like the tight end was finally going to have his day. In the end, though, Barnidge caught just two more passes for a total of 10 yards, adding to the frustration of fantasy owners still expecting him to duplicate his 2015 numbers. The 30-year-old will try to bounce back in Week 9 against a talented Cowboys' defense.

Barnidge hauled in a team-leading six catches on seven targets for 66 yards against Cincinnati on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge's touchdown drought continued against the Bengals on Sunday, as the tight end has yet to find pay dirt in 2016. Cleveland has used six different quarterbacks through the first seven weeks, so a lack of chemistry could be contributed to Barnidge's inability to score. The good news is that he's caught at least five passes in each of the last four games.
