Barner positioned for breakout with new TE-coach OC Fleury utilizing 12 personnel.

AJ Barner is backed at 24% probability for an anytime touchdown and is expected to kick off a potential breakout campaign in Week 1. Jason Logan notes that new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury is a former tight end coach who will utilize a lot of 12 personnel, especially early as he gets his feet wet as a play caller. Barner is a capable pass catcher and is also utilized as a runner in goal-line situations via 'The Barnyard' (direct snap in 'tush push' fashion), giving him multiple scoring opportunities.
