If Barner Misses Time
Next man up: Eric Saubert
Eric Saubert is next on the Seahawks depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Barner misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Drew Lock would lose one of his main options.
