Perhaps the most surprising revelation of the year has been the Cleveland Browns' Gary Barnidge. The 30-year old tight end had a career high 13 receptions last year. Through four weeks, he already has 16 catches and has become a preferred target of quarterback Josh McCown. In the last two weeks, he’s caught 12 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns.
We don’t expect him to keep up those numbers, but it’s clear that he is a big part of what the Browns want to do on offense. With Travis Benjamin streaking down the field, and Duke Johnson catching balls out of the backfield, Barnidge is finding favorable matchups in the middle of the field.
The wily veteran has the hands to be a dependable outlet for a Browns team that has excelled in the passing game through the first four weeks of the season. It will be interesting to see how the next few weeks play out, but his fantasy football stock is on the rise.
