Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is emerging as a compelling fantasy football sleeper heading into Week 3. He faces a favorable road matchup against the Washington Commanders, whose defense has struggled against opposing passing games early this season.
The Commanders have allowed an average of 224 passing yards per game, placing them in the middle of the league. However, opposing tight ends have found particular success in the red zone against Washington. The team has surrendered seven passing touchdowns in just two games, presenting a significant opportunity for Seattle's passing attack.
Barner himself has accumulated three receptions for 21 yards through the first two weeks. He also boasts a one-yard rushing touchdown, showcasing his scoring potential. Despite limited target volume, his consistent offensive involvement and opportunities near the end zone make him a noteworthy fantasy stream for Week 3.
