Eighth-year breakout at age 30 with first 1,000-yard season (also first 250-yard season) for Cleveland Browns. Dynasty managers bought in as a value play, reasoning that late breakouts happen and TEs can be relevant into their 30s. However, Barnidge played just one more NFL season, finishing as TE19. The source warns that super-late breakouts are rarely lasting and cautions against trusting the Cleveland Browns.
