CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Baltimore

Back in Week 10 before Cleveland’s bye, Gary Barnidge hauled in six passes for 65 yards and Cleveland’s only touchdown in a 30-9 loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time Barnidge and Johnny Manziel clicked, which was good news given Manziel was projected to be the starter for the Browns the rest of the season.

However, if you have Barnidge on your team, you would rather have great news than just merely good news. And great news came in the form of a demotion for Manziel as Juvenile Delinquent Johnny once again put partying ahead of studying his playbook. Barnidge has lit up the stat sheet with Josh McCown, with the duo already having success against Baltimore. Back in Week 5, McCown threw for 457 yards in a victory over the Ravens, with Barnidge catching eight passes for 139 yards and a touchdown. Barnidge will threaten for overall TE1 supremacy in Week 12 and must be started.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Pittsburgh

Since Week 3, Gary Barnidge had been Superman in the eyes of many fantasy owners. Unfortunately, kryptonite in the form of Johnny Manziel destroyed Barnidge last Thursday night in Cincinnati. Barnidge caught two passes for 35 yards, his lowest output since Week 2, when he had just one reception. Coincidentally, Week 2 was the only other time Manziel had started this year for the Browns.

So fantasy owners have to cross their fingers Josh McCown gets back into the lineup this week. McCown is not exactly one of the NFL’s all-time greats, but he and Barnidge have great chemistry. While Barnidge has built up enough good will among fantasy owners to be a TE1 regardless of whether McCown or Manziel is the starter, his upside would be much, much higher with McCown.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cincinnati

Rapidly becoming the brightest light on another bumbling Browns team, Gary Barnidge hauled in seven passes for 53 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 as Cleveland lost 34-20 to Arizona. Since Week 3, Barnidge has scored a touchdown in all but one game and has exceeded 100 yards three times. His presence has become mandatory at any and all TE1 parties.

However, with Johnny Manziel’s probable insertion into the lineup, there may be some reason for concern. During the first two weeks of the season, when Manziel either started or saw extensive playing time due to Josh McCown suffering a concussion, Barnidge had just four receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns. By no means would we recommend benching Barnidge (who remains a mandatory starter in all formats), but Manziel’s presence could limit Gary’s upside more than usual.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Arizona

After scoring at least one touchdown in four straight games, Gary Barnidge was held out of the end zone last Sunday as the Browns suffered a 24-6 thrashing at the hands of St. Louis. However, Barnidge remained productive for fantasy owners, catching six passes for 101 yards.

Speaking of yardage, that route will probably be the best way for Barnidge to keep his hot streak going this weekend as Arizona has not given up a touchdown to a tight end all season. However, the Cardinals will probably use ace cornerback Patrick Peterson on wide receiver Travis Benjamin, which could translate to lots of targets for Gary out of necessity. Even in a potentially difficult tussle, Barnidge is a TE1.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at St. Louis

The number one folk hero in fantasy football, Gary Barnidge, was held to three receptions last Sunday by a potent Denver defense. But Barnidge made them count, as two of his catches went for touchdowns. After being quiet in the first two games of the season, Barnidge has 23 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns.

Gary's run of glory will be put to the test against a stingy St. Louis defense. The Rams have yielded just five touchdown passes, and Seattle’s Jimmy Graham is the only tight end who has scored against St. Louis. However, in an era where top tight ends are hard to find in fantasy, Barnidge has earned TE1 status and needs to be in your lineup.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs Denver

Perhaps the most unlikely breakout performer in fantasy football history, Gary Barnidge put up huge numbers again in Week 5, catching eight passes for 139 yards. He also scored a touchdown on one of the most remarkable receptions anyone will ever see. It was the third consecutive game in which Barnidge made his way to the end zone.

The Broncos are capable of ending Gary’s hot streak. This is a team that has held opponents to three touchdown passes through five games, and none of those touchdowns have gone to a tight end. On top of that, Denver has 22 sacks and seven interceptions. Denver may not have DeMarcus Ware this weekend, but Von Miller and others could force Barnidge to block a little more than usual. Nonetheless, until Barnidge slows down, there is no compelling reason not to consider him as a TE1.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Baltimore

The unbelievable emergence of Gary Barnidge continued in Week 4. Barnidge hauled in six passes for 75 yards and a score, helping Cleveland secure a moral victory over San Diego. Over the past two weeks, the 30-year old out of Louisville has 12 receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He has gone from being unknown on the waiver wire to highly visible.

But will a Baltimore fog reduce Barnidge’s visibility? The Ravens have been very unfriendly to tight ends. Cincinnati’s emerging Tyler Eifert had his worst game of the season against the Ravens, while Baltimore held Pittsburgh’s Heath Miller to one yard in Week 4. At one of fantasy football’s weakest positions, Barnidge has earned low-end TE1 status thanks to his recent heroics, but the bubble could burst on Sunday.
