Seahawks Tight End AJ Barner Fantasy Outlook Against Chiefs

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is recommended as a start for fantasy football managers in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although Barner has recorded just one receiving touchdown through six games, his role remains significant given Seattle's offensive rhythm and the matchup dynamics.

Barner currently sits on pace to record 15 receptions for 138 yards but lacks an explosive performance this season. His involvement is viewed as a dependable target option when pressure builds during games, potentially helping quarterback Sam Darnold reduce turnovers and establish momentum through timely completions.

The Chiefs present a formidable challenge with defenses ranking fourth in passing yards allowed per attempt (6.1) and second in passing touchdowns conceded (four). Despite Seattle's recent struggles including seven interceptions by their quarterback over the last four games, Barner is considered worth deploying for Week 7 due to his potential to produce against any opponent.
