CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at San Diego

Until last week, Gary Barnidge was one of the most anonymous players in the NFL. The 30-year old out of Louisville had been drafted by Carolina back in 2008 and headed into the 2015 season with only 44 career receptions. Out of nowhere, Barnidge caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 3.

There may be a simple reason for Barnidge’s breakout performance. He was playing the Oakland Raiders. While Oakland is a team on the rise, they have been embarrassingly vulnerable to tight ends. Cincinnati’s Tyler Eifert and Baltimore’s Crockett Gilmore also had plenty of fun against the Raiders, with that duo combining for four touchdowns against the Silver and Black. San Diego has given up touchdowns to Eifert and Detroit’s Eric Ebron, but held Minnesota’s Kyle Rudolph in check last Sunday. While Barnidge has a role in Cleveland’s offense and seems to have a rapport with Josh McCown, the odds of him suddenly becoming a fantasy star are slim. He should not be started this week.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

There were differing opinions when the Cleveland Browns let tight end Jordan Cameron sign with the Miami Dolphins. One side believed Cameron was too susceptible to injuries, while the other side could not believe the Browns were letting the only non-suspended receiving option on their roster with star potential get away without a fight. Cleveland signed Rob Housler to take over for Cameron, but he has been a disappointment so far. That leaves veteran Gary Barnidge atop the depth chart, at least for now. Can Barnidge help Cleveland fill the void?

Fantasy Upside
With Cleveland’s inept general manager Ray Farmer opting to build around a vagabond group of wide receivers, any tight end who suits up for the Browns has a shot at catching passes. If Housler is cut (which has been rumored), Barnidge offers a little more as a receiver than Jim Dray, the other holdover from last year who is valued primarily as a blocker.

Fantasy Downside
Given he was drafted back in 2008, Barnidge should be commended for still being in the NFL. Not many people can say they lasted that long in the league. He seems to be a good guy in the locker room, but his track record on the field is terrible. He has 44 career receptions, and even with Cleveland desperate for help, the 29-year-old is not the answer.

Bottom Line
At some point in the middle of the season, you will need a tight end due to injury or bye week. You will see Barnidge’s name, and you should then proceed to put in a waiver claim for someone else.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Gary Barnidge at Atlanta Falcons
After catching one pass in Week 11, Gary Barnidge has 10 receptions for the season. As long as Jordan Cameron is out, Barnidge will see a decent amount of playing time, but there is ample proof out there showing he offers nothing to fantasy owners.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Gary Barnidge vs. Houston Texans
With Jordan Cameron out in Week 10, Gary Barnidge saw more playing time and caught two passes for 46 yards. While Barnidge is a functional NFL player, as evidenced by the fact he was drafted back in 2008 by Carolina, he has never been a fantasy threat and a sudden breakout would be a major shock.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Gary Barnidge at Cincinnati Bengals
Gary Barnidge saw more playing time than usual in Week 9 due to the absence of Jordan Cameron, but did not take advantage of the opportunity, catching two passes for 16 yards. Barnidge has been in the NFL since 2009 and has never made it onto the fantasy radar. We highly doubt he ever will.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Gary Barnidge vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Gary Barnidge failed to catch a pass last weekend and has just five receptions in seven games. Although Barnidge will get some extra playing time against Tampa Bay with Jordan Cameron dealing with a concussion, you would be much better going with someone other than Gary if you are in a bind.

CLE TE Gary Barnidge - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Gary Barnidge vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Gary Barnidge failed to catch a pass last weekend. The veteran tight end shares time with Jim Dray behind Jordan Cameron and has never been a significant part of the fantasy scene. Expect more of the same on Sunday against the Steelers.
