He is getting open and getting plenty of targets. That likely won't change as long as McCown is playing Qb

Same question for dynasty. The earlier comment about how he looked in Carolina is intriguing - is this just a delayed breakout that should have happened a couple of year ago? Is he real that contenders should be holding on to, or paying for? Should bad teams be flipping him for draft picks?

I feel like redraft he should have higher value. That or a deep roster dyno will have higher value. But someone earlier in the thread said that he came into the league as a pass catcher. Maybe those skills took a backseat due to system in his earlier career, but whatever the case it looks like he has reemerged as a receiver.

I am a contender in my dynasty league and I am holding on for dear life. Before I took a chance on him week 3, I had Ebron and Allen. Toyed with Donnell for a bit too. What did it for me was his play with McCown. He loves him. I just bought Ladarius Green so now I can see what happens with Gates and Fleener next year with a solid option alongside Ebron.

I think Barnidge will finish the season as a top 3 barring injury. He obviously isn't going to have 100 yards and a TD every game, he'll have his stinkers just like Gronk has his. But he's a hold for at least this season.

Top 5 is a safer call. He has a 4 game lead on Gates, so I don't think Gates makes the top 5.

Yeah, but PPG is what's important. It's not like Gates owners were taking 0's the first four weeks.

TD in 4 straight (2 100 yd games).

What a beast. Gotta start giving credit to McCown though too. He's making some nice passes.

Folks, he's a star, a premium TE, and a Cleveland folk hero in the making. Accept it.

Another 100 yard game. Guy has been incredible the past 5 weeks.Let's hope McCown shoulder injury isn't severe

Not a single post from the previous Sunday 10/18 thru yesterday before my post. It does show you the lack of trade value the guy has too... (just from the lack of discussion)
The guy is the #5 overall (and #3 RB/WR/TE) in scoring since Week 3 in PPR formats. It's been great that he's finished Top 5 TE or higher every week since Week 3. Wheels may fall off soon (if McCown is out) but it's been as unexpected of production -- from a mid-late career guy that had done next to nothing previously -- as I can remember in quite some time.

With Manziel in he is worthless

that's probably true. But for his price, I'd take the chance that Johnny at least learned to throw to the one guy who has a chance to catch his ducks.With Manziel in he is worthless

Barnidge lost a tooth and needed stiches af halftime making his performance that much more impressive.

you're literally talking about 3 plays. Which is fine, they happened. But so did his 56% completion rate.Didnt have an issue dropping dimes to benjaminthat's probably true.

5 weeks in a row... at this point you have to accept he is an upper tier te1 this season until the production falls off for consecutive weeks... or until mccown isnt the starter and barnidge's trade value crashes hard
3nOut
Footballguy
But you did not address the question. Is this sustainable? We see that he is a Tier 1 TE but can he remain there? And if his value crashes as you say, then you won't be able to sell him at all. So... Should you sell now?

he's TE 2 or 3 in most formats... more than likely you won't get anything near that value in a trade... so why not just enjoy the ride while it lasts? It would seem as long as McCown is qb he is going to get targets

"Big Play" Barnidge is matchup proof.
DoubleG

Agreed. He's top 2-3 TE in targets and receptions. His TD numbers help bump his FPTS totals - but he is seeing good volume. I think a top 5 finish is definitely possible.
As mentioned, you're never going to get the trade value as he's not a big name or playing for a big name team or QB, so just ride him and take the points.
If you have him as your "backup", you can probably actually get better trade value for the sexier name he is replacing in your lineup -

I usually like trading name value away when this situation arises, but I'm not parting with Gronk. I'll just keep rolling Barnidge out as a flex.Agreed. He's top 2-3 TE in targets and receptions.
