| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | A.J. Barner got significantly more involved in the Seattle offense in his second NFL season after a quiet rookie year. Barner's snap share increased from 45% in 2024 to 72% in 2025. He had 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns last season after putting up 30-245-4 as a rookie. Barner also had 10 rushing attempts for 14 yards and a touchdown last year, and he had four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Barner had a 14.9% target share last season for a Seattle offense that had the fourth-fewest pass attempts in the league. The Seahawks didn't add any pass catchers of note in the offseason, so if they either throw more frequently in 2026 or Barner carves out a bigger target share, Barner could take another step forward. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an absurd 35.8% target share for the Seahawks last year, so it's entirely possible that Barner's target share could rise while JSN's comes down. Consider Barner a midrange to low-end TE2 for 2026 fantasy drafts. | It was only three years ago that TJ Hockenson had 95 catches for 960 yards and five touchdowns. But Hockenson tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in late December of that 2023 season, and he has yet to regain his old form. Last year, Hockenson had 51 catches for 538 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. Granted, the Vikings' quarterbacking was substandard, which might help explain why Hockenson averaged a career-low 8.6 yards per catch. The Vikings could conceivably get a QB upgrade with Kyler Murray this season, and TE Trey McBride was Murray's favorite target during the QB's final three years in Arizona. But Hockenson is entering his age-29 season, and he'll have to share targets with WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Consider him a low-end TE2 or high-end TE3. |
