Barner's snap share jumped to 72% in 2025; further upside if target share rises or Seahawks pass more.

Barner got significantly more involved in the Seattle offense in his second NFL season after a quiet rookie year. His snap share increased from 45% in 2024 to 72% in 2025, and he had 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns last season after putting up 30-245-4 as a rookie. He also had 10 rushing attempts for 14 yards and a touchdown, plus four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Barner had a 14.9% target share last season for a Seattle offense that had the fourth-fewest pass attempts in the league. The Seahawks didn't add any pass catchers of note in the offseason, so if they either throw more frequently in 2026 or Barner carves out a bigger target share, he could take another step forward. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an absurd 35.8% target share for the Seahawks last year, so it's entirely possible that Barner's target share could rise while JSN's comes down. Consider Barner a midrange to low-end TE2 for 2026 fantasy drafts.
