More on Barner and the TE board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #203 overall, #30 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 168.8 (roughly round 15 in a 12-team league). We rank him #153 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 6.2 PPR points per game across an expected 10 games — approximately 62 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 3.3 and 8.6 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #169 in projected scoring (#153 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 57% of games, with a floor of 2.2 and a ceiling of 11.9 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 43% of games and busted (under half his average) in 14%.
