Seattle Seahawks star AJ Barner may be an under-the-radar tight end to deploy in fantasy football in Week 7 as the Seahawks prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bleacher Report named Barner as their fantasy football sleeper tight end of the week in points per reception leagues, with him facing a matchup against the Chiefs that comes with its share of advantages.

“It has been a quiet year for Barner,” Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport said. “He has amassed over eight PPR points in just one of six games this season. But this week gives him a chance for his second big outing of the year—the Chiefs have been kind to opposing tight ends this year, giving up the most fantasy points per game in the AFC to tight ends.”

Barner offers potential for managers searching for a high-upside option at a position where consistent production is needed.

Through six games, Barner has recorded 15 receptions for 138 yards on 24 targets, averaging 23 receiving yards per game. He has yet to score a receiving touchdown, but his role in Seattle’s passing attack gives him an opportunity to do so for the first time against Kansas City and deliver a useful fantasy performance.

Kansas City’s defense against the pass presents an intriguing matchup for Barner. The Chiefs have allowed 217.2 passing yards per game to opponents this season. Their ability to pressure quarterbacks and limit explosive plays may still present challenges for Seattle’s passing game, but Barner will have a lane to play well in the matchup.

Barner remains a fantasy option that comes with question marks, but his playing time and potential involvement near the middle of the field make him worth monitoring. Managers in deeper leagues ought to view him as a sleeper with boom potential in Week 7.
