2024 Fantasy Outlook
Barton signed a one-year deal with Denver this offseason after appearing in 13 games with the Commanders in 2023. Despite missing four games on IR with an ankle injury last season, the 27-year-old managed to have a solid campaign while recording 121 tackles (67 solo), one interception and one fumble recovery. Barton is a favorite to start at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton, and he'll look to make an immediate impact as a member of what should be a formidable linebacker corps. Read Past Outlooks
Sees more snaps Week 2
Barton tallied seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Barton played just 21 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Seahawks. He nearly doubled that total in Week 2 with 40 defensive snaps (along with 10 on special teams), and the 2019 third-round pick finished second on the Broncos in tackles Sunday behind fellow starting inside linebacker Alex Singleton. Barton has registered 100-plus tackles in each of the last two seasons, and he'll look to make it three years in a row as the Broncos travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in Week 3.

First-round rookie QB Jayden Daniels may be running for his life behind a porous O-line this season, but his playmaking at least should result in the occasional highlight-worthy play.
In coach Sean Payton's second season with the Broncos, there's a good chance his offense will be led by first-round rookie quarterback Bo Nix, meaning growing pains likely are on the horizon in Denver.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Barton started only five games in his first three years with the Seahawks, despite being a 2019 third-round pick, but he finally broke out in 2022 for 136 tackles in 17 games (11 starts). He also had two sacks and two interceptions, with some struggles in coverage and against the run. In March, Barton settled for a one-year, $3.5 million contract in Washington, where Jamin Davis profiles as the top linebacker after Cole Holcomb's offseason departure. Barton should get a lot of snaps, but perhaps not as many as his 862 in Seattle last year (77 percent share).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fighting for starting job
Barton is competing with Jonas Griffith for a starting middle linebacker role, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barton has worked as a starter for the last two seasons with the Seahawks and Commanders and been extremely productive, tallying a combined 257 tackles, two sacks and three interceptions. Even so, he's not locked into a starting job heading into training camp. Griffith has played only 557 combined defensive snaps across his first two seasons in the NFL, so Barton presumably has the early edge in the competition.
