AJ Barner Sees Production Dip on Monday Night
AJ Barner took a slight step back in his team's 27-19 win over the visiting Houston Texans, failing to build off the momentum he carried over the previous two contests. Barner had amassed ten receptions, 124 yards, and two touchdowns across his outings in Weeks 5 and 6. Still, he vanished on Monday night as fellow tight end Elijah Arroyo (4/42) ranked second on the team in each significant receiving category. Barner still handily out-snapped the rookie (62-27) and logged his fifth game this season with an 80% or greater snap share. Furthermore, it's still favorable that he'll be decently involved in the team's offensive attack moving forward. With that said, it's a stark reminder that wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the only set-it-and-forget-it option in the Seahawks' passing game. Barner will try to get back on track in Week 9 following Seattle's bye.
