AJ Barner vs Dallas Goedert
Dallas Goedert holds a 6% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR BARNER
Barner’s value is almost entirely age/unknown-upside driven: 24 vs 31.6 matters a lot at TE in dynasty. If Seattle’s TE room consolidates and he earns a real route share, he can gain value quickly because his price is still near replacement. At essentially equal market value to Goedert, Barner offers asymmetric upside if he becomes even a mid-tier weekly option.
THE CASE FOR GOEDERT
Goedert is the clear bet to give you startable weeks immediately when healthy, with a proven role in a high-scoring offense. He has a higher floor than Barner because his usage and talent are established, and he can be a difference-maker in TE-premium or for TE-needy contenders. Even at 31.6, he’s one of the few TEs you can confidently start in playoff lineups when active.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Goedert, because you’re buying bankable weekly utility and touchdown equity right now.
Barner, because age insulation plus any path to increased routes can create value growth that Goedert is unlikely to have at this stage.
It’s close on price, but the profiles aren’t: Goedert is points, Barner is optionality.
