From the episode

AJ Barner blocked on 16.8% of his past plays last year. Right. That is terrible. terrible. As long as I've been doing this, only three guys have blocked on more than 15% of their past plays and finished top five.

Barner's heavy blocking role makes him a sell candidate for fantasy

AJ Barner is a prototypical inline blocking tight end whose fantasy upside is severely capped by his usage. Historically, tight ends who block on more than 15% of pass plays rarely finish as top-five fantasy options. With Elijah Arroyo potentially siphoning snaps, Barner is a sell candidate.
