Gary Barnidge

Week 7 vs. Cincinnati
The Patriots ripped apart the Bengals last week with their tight ends, but there's obviously no guarantee the same will happen with Gary Barnidge in Week 7. There's a chance for success, however, especially if Terrelle Pryor misses time.

Barnidge has been solid this season, although he's still seeking his first touchdown. We like the Browns tight end as a TE1 play this week in a favorable matchup.

Week 5 vs. Indianapolis
After somewhat of a slow start to the season, Gary Barnidge has been usable in PPR formats, as he finished with seven receptions last week. He's not getting anywhere near the production he had a season ago, but he's still been one of the better options at his position this year.

Barnidge will get a decent matchup against the Patriots this week. New England has allowed at least six receptions or 50 yards to the position in the last three weeks, so Barnidge should have some production. He'll be a low-end TE1 play.

Week 3 at Miami
After posting a goose egg in Week 1, Gary Barnidge bounced back with a 4-for-37 effort in Week 2. It wasn't a great performance, but at least it was something. Now, he'll play with rookie quarterback Cody Kessler and could become a safety net considering the lack of depth at the receiver position.

We're not in love with Barnidge this week, but there's enough to like about him to make him a low-end TE1 play.
