Over his last seven games, AJ Barner has averaged a respectable 4.1 catches and 38.4 receiving yards per game. Those numbers are slightly skewed by a 10-catch, 70-yard game against the Rams in Week 11, but Barner has had at least three catches in five consecutive games. He's also scored a touchdown in each of the last two weeks. With Sam Darnold having little pass-catching firepower at wide receiver beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Barner has become an increasingly important cog in the Seattle passing attack. He gets a neutral Week 18 matchup against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Barner practiced fully despite being listed with two different issues. He could take on a bigger role in the passing game if Rashid Shaheed (concussion) is sidelined.
