I love Barner and fully expect the talented Seahawks tight end to improve off last season's numbers where he finished with 52 catches (up from 30 receptions in the 2024-25 season) for 519 yards receiving and six touchdowns. He capped his Super Bowl appearance by scoring the only offensive touchdown in the win, highlighting a night where he had four catches for 54 yards. Another positive for Barner's potential success is the fact the franchise hired Brian Fleury, a former tight end coach, as its offensive coordinator to replace Klint Kubiak, who left for Las Vegas.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Barner poised for improved production with new tight end coach as OC.

Barner is expected to improve off last season's 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns; the Seahawks hired Brian Fleury, a former tight end coach, as offensive coordinator to replace Klint Kubiak, which should benefit the tight end's production. Barner scored the only offensive touchdown in the Super Bowl win with four catches for 54 yards, and the source projects him to score in this game at +270 anytime touchdown odds.
