Barnidge had seven catches on 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing his four-game touchdown streak end in Week 7, when he still had 101 receiving yards, Barnidge found the end zone again Sunday, his sixth touchdown in the last six games. The production continues to surprise, as Barnidge scored just three touchdowns in his career before this season. Up next is a tough Week 9 trip to Cincinnati, with the possibility that Johnny Manziel could be under center after Josh McCown took a number of big hits to his injured shoulder and ribs during Sunday's game.

Barnidge turned in another excellent effort with six catches for 101 yards on seven targets, but failed to find the end zone for the first time in five weeks Sunday in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old tight end's surprisingly strong season continued, but he was held back by Cleveland's overall ineptitude on offense. Barnidge has looked nearly unstoppable of late, with five touchdowns and three 100-yard efforts over the past five weeks. The only thing working against him right now is the shoulder injury suffered by quarterback Josh McCown, which could force the mercurial Johnny Manziel back into the starting role.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge showed up on the Cleveland injury report after logging a limited practice Wednesday, but returned to practice at full capacity over the next two days. It turns out the minor ailment will not prevent one of the hottest tight ends in the league from suiting up for the Week 7 contest. Barnidge has now scored a touchdown in four straight weeks, and should resume his regular role Sunday afternoon.

Barnidge (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing fully both Thursday and Friday.

EDGE Analysis

After being limited Wednesday, Barnidge's return to full practice sessions to close the week virtually ensures that he'll be available this weekend. Over the Browns' last four games, Barnidge has caught 23 passes on 34 targets, while recording a fantasy-friendly five TDs in that span.

Barnidge (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After being limited Wednesday, Barnidge's return to a full practice session Thursday puts the tight end -- who is now decidedly on the fantasy radar after a strong start this season -- on track to draw an official probable designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Barnidge (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

In previous years, Barnidge turning in a limited session wouldn't have been especially noteworthy, but the tight end has come out of nowhere to find himself as one of the more productive players at his position this season. Through six games, Barnidge has caught 27 passes for 413 yards (third among NFL TEs) to go along with five TDs, which is good for second in the league.

Barnidge had three catches on nine targets for 39 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Broncos, extending his touchdown streak to four games.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge has found the end zone five times during his streak, as he's clearly developed excellent chemistry with quarterback Josh McCown, who has targeted the tight end 19 times in the last two games. However, the Week 7 matchup against the Rams could be a tough one, as St. Louis boasts one of the better pass rushes in the NFL and Barnidge may be needed for more blocking.

Barnidge caught eight passes off of 10 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Even in what was a clouded Browns receiving corps, few could have expected Barnidge to lead the team in receptions through five weeks. His 24 catches already top a career high and there may be more where that came from. Barnidge was targeted just six times in the season's first two weeks, but has seen 26 passes come in his direction in the three games since. Without many distinguished targets in Cleveland and a quarterback geared toward ball control, expect the 6-foot-6 veteran to continue to be featured prominently.

Barnidge caught all six of his targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss at San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge was involved throughout the game (three receptions for 40 yards in the first half), but his spectacular one-handed, 19-yard circus catch late in the fourth quarter was the highlight. That reception put the ball on the Chargers' one-yard line, and he fittingly scored two plays later. The journeyman TE has become one of Josh McCown's favorite targets, with 12 receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. It remains to be seen if Barnidge can keep things going, but he's seeing a ton of snaps, so it doesn't seem that unrealistic. Next week, he'll face a beatable Ravens' secondary.

Barnidge led the Browns with six catches, 105 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Barnidge has clearly established himself as the team's top pass-catching tight end, and he managed to get himself open consistently against the Raiders. Defenses will have to start paying more attention to the 30-year-old as the season goes on, but he and quarterback Josh McCown appear to have enough chemistry to make Barnidge worth a good look in most formats.
