News

  • Headed to Denver

    Barton signed with the Broncos on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 third-round pick out of Utah will be playing for his third team in three years after spending last season in Washington and the prior four seasons with Seattle. Barton missed four games while on IR with an ankle injury and registered 121 tackles (67 solo), one interception and one fumble recovery over 13 games in 2023. He could start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker for the 2024 season, with Drew Sanders being direct competition for that spot.

  • Records 121 tackles

    Barton recorded 121 tackles (67 solo) and one interception in 13 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: The 2019 third-round pick played 93.4 percent of Washington's defensive snaps when he was on the field after taking 77.4 percent of the snaps in a 17-game, 136-tackle campaign for Seattle the year prior. From a non-fantasy standpoint, Barton was mostly a special teams guy his first three professional seasons, and there's some chance he lands back in that type of role for 2024 after playing out 2023 on a one-year, $3.5 million contract. The defenses he played for the past two years both ranked…read more

  • Reaches double-digit tackles again

    Barton finished Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers with a game-high 12 tackles (nine solo).

    Analysis: Barton reached double-digit tackles for the fourth straight game. He's played every single defensive snap in all but one of his 12 games this season. Barton has 113 total tackles -- two less than team leader Kamren Curl -- along with an interception this season.

  • Posts big effort in Week 16 loss

    Barton recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Barton finished second on the Commanders in stops, posting his third straight double-digit tackle performance. The fifth-year pro added a third-quarter interception that he ran back 52 yards to help set up Washington's second score of the game. Barton missed four games earlier in the campaign due to an ankle injury, but his big effort Sunday pushed him up to 101 tackles on the season, marking the second straight year he's reached triple-digit stops.

  • Busy in Week 15

    Barton recorded 13 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Barton was a busy man in Week 15, reaching double-digit tackles for the second game in a row and fifth time overall this season. The linebacker has produced 91 tackles and a fumble recovery over 10 contests so far in his first year with Washington.

    Barton recorded 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 45-15 loss versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Barton posted double-digit tackles for the fourth time this season in Week 13, putting himself back on pace for his second straight year with 100-plus tackles. The Commanders have a bye in Week 14 before they travel to take on the Rams in Week 15.

  • Records six tackles in return

    Barton totaled six tackles (four solo), including one for loss, in a Week 12 loss to Dallas on Thursday.

    Analysis: Barton was activated off injured reserve Wednesday and played on every one of Washington's defensive snaps in his return to action. The linebacker tied Jamin Davis for the team lead in tackles in the blowout loss. Barton should regain his standing as a solid IDP asset now that's he's back on the field. Over the seven full games in which he's played this season, he's averaging 9.4 stops per contest.

  • Activated off injured reserve

    The Commanders activated Barton (ankle) off injured reserve Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton was placed on injured reserve after hurting his ankle during the team's Week 7 loss to the Giants, but he will now make his return to the field. The 27-year-old has been a full participant in practice all week and will not carry an injury designation heading into Thursday's game versus Dallas.

  • Set to be activated off IR

    The Commanders expect to activate Barton (ankle) off injured reserve Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Barton has been out since injuring his ankle during the team's Week 7 loss to the Giants but is now one step closer to making his return. The 27-year-old was listed as a full participant in practice for both Monday's and Tuesday's practices, so he should have an ample opportunity to play in Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Commanders designated Barton (ankle) to return from injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Barton was injured in Week 7 and has missed the required four games on injured reserve. Prior to his injury, Barton had played every defensive snap for Washington. On the year, he's recorded 61 tackles (33 solo), one tackle for loss and one fumble recovery. Washington will have 21 days to activate Barton.

  • Headed to IR

    The Commanders placed Barton (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Barton sustained the ankle injury in the Commanders' 14-7 loss to the Giants in Week 7. He has been a crucial piece to their defensive scheme and had registered 60 tackles in the first six weeks of the season. With Barton set to miss at least the next four games, David Mayo will be a candidate for an increased workload in the former's absence. Barton will be eligible to return against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

  • Won't play vs. Eagles

    Barton (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton will miss a start for the first time this season as he tends to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 7 at the Giants. In his stead, David Mayo figures to see an expanded role at linebacker in Week 8.

  • Misses practice to start week

    Barton (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Barton was suspected to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's game at the Giants, so it comes as no surprise that he wasn't able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Unless he can return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he'd be a good bet to sit out in Week 8 versus Philadelphia.

  • High-ankle sprain feared

    Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Barton is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's game at the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Barton is set to undergo an MRI on Monday, but at this point it appears a multi-game absence is likely. As long as he's out, David Mayo is a good bet to see increased playing time at linebacker.

  • Seen in walking boot

    Barton (ankle) was seen in a walking boot following Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Barton recorded just one tackle before sustaining an ankle injury in the first half. The walking boot he was seen in following the game indicates the injury could be an issue going forward. David Mayo would presumably be in line to fill in at middle linebacker if need be.

  • Forced out Sunday

    Barton was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants with an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Barton will not return after sustaining this ankle injury at some point during the first half. The 26-year-old logged just one tackle before exiting Sunday, though he accumulated 60 tackles over the first six weeks of the season. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday, Oct. 29 against Philadelphia. With Barton sidelined, David Mayo has stepped in at middle linebacker for Washington.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Barton logged 14 tackles (five solo) during Washington's 24-16 win versus the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Barton led the team in tackles while recording a new season high as he helped the Commanders shut down the Falcons offense. The 26-year-old currently leads the team in tackles with 59 (32 solo) and will look to add to those totals against the Giants next week.

  • Racks up eight tackles Week 5

    Barton totaled eight tackles (five solo) against Chicago in Thursday's Week 5 loss.

    Analysis: Barton led the Bears in stops in the contest, and he's now totaled at least eight tackles in each of his past five games. The linebacker set a career high with 136 stops across 17 contests with Seattle last season and could challenge that mark in his first campaign with Washington -- he's already logged 45 tackles through five games this year.

  • Tallies nine tackles Sunday

    Barton recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss at the Eagles.

    Analysis: It was the third straight game in which Barton has managed nine or more tackles. He's still on pace to top 150 tackles on the season going into a Week 5 matchup versus a Bears offense that has been balanced, though not exactly impressive through four weeks.

  • Team tackle leader again

    Barton recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 37-3 loss versus the Bills.

    Analysis: Barton led his squad in tackles for the second consecutive game in Week 3, keeping him on pace for his second straight 100-tackle season. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups in Week 4 as Washington prepares for a run-heavy Philadelphia offense.

  • Double-digit tackles in win

    Barton recorded 10 tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Barton led the team in takedowns and recovered a fumble for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2019. The linebacker has compiled 15 tackles over his first two contests with Washington after signing with the team in the offseason.

  • Returns to field

    Barton returned to practice Sunday after battling a hip flexor injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Barton's quick return from injury is good news for the Commanders. The 26-year-old joined the team on a one-year contract in March and is currently projected to be the team's starter at middle linebacker.

  • Battling hip flexor issue

    Barton didn't participate in Friday's practice due to a hip flexor injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Selected No. 88 overall by the Seahawks in the 2019 Draft, Barton inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Washington earlier in the offseason. He's missed just one game in his pro career and played a career-high 895 defensive snaps for Seattle last season while also being a fixture on special teams.

  • Inks one-year deal with Commanders

    The Commanders and Barton agreed to terms on a one-year contract Monday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

    Analysis: A third-round pick back in 2019, Barton became a full-time starter last season in Seattle, playing 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He racked up 136 tackles and two sacks and should slide in as a snaps-eater in the middle of coach Ron Rivera's defense in Washington.

  • Piles up 136 stops

    Barton posted 136 tackles (84 solo), six pass breakups, two sacks and two interceptions over 17 regular-season games.

    Analysis: Barton's playing time fluctuated during the season, bottoming out at a 44 percent snap share in Week 8, but he started the Seahawks' final six regular-season games and the playoff game. The 2019 third-round pick is headed towards free agency in March, but the Seahawks may want to re-sign him, especially because Jordyn Brooks underwent ACL surgery Jan. 19 and may not be ready for the start of the 2023 season. While Barton struggles in coverage, he's a high-end IDP option when he's in the lineup.

  • Mediocre outing in win

    Barton recorded six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Barton had gone six consecutive games with at least seven stops made prior to Sunday, but he ultimately failed to reach that mark again in Week 17 versus New York. With the NFL's No. 3 leading tackler in Jordyn Brooks having suffered a season-ending torn ACL this past weekend, Barton figures to absorb a larger role in Week 18 against the Rams, and if applicable, the postseason.

  • Logs another solid effort

    Barton recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Barton has seemingly found his stride down the stretch of the regular season, as he's now averaging 10.2 tackles per game over his last six matchups. The 26-year-old should continue playing a prominent role in the Seahawks' defensive game plan when Seattle hosts the Jets on New Year's Day.

  • Massive outing Week 15

    Barton posted 15 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Barton logged a season high in tackles while also notching double-digit stops for the fifth time in 13 games. The fourth-year linebacker also defended exactly one pass for the fourth week in a row, increasing his season total to six. Barton is now one of two Seahawks defenders, along with team-leading tackler Jordyn Brooks, to post over 100 stops this season. Barton should have an important role in slowing down San Francisco's prolific offense during Thursday Night Football.

  • Tallies 12 tackles

    Barton recorded 12 total tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's 40-34 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Barton matched his season-high in tackles, also marking his fourth game with 10 or more stops. He also chipped in his fourth pass defended of the season. Through 11 games on the campaign, Barton already has a career-best 83 tackles while also chipping in two sacks and an interception.

  • Productive outing in loss

    Barton recorded nine tackles (eight solo) and one interception during Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Barton notched his most tackles in a game since Week 5 and picked off his first pass of the season, which set up a fourth-quarter touchdown for Seattle's offense. Across 10 appearances, the fourth-year linebacker has totaled 71 tackles, three pass defenses, two sacks and one interception.

  • Role decreasing

    Barton posted two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Barton played just 39 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 6. His role has been in flux recently, as he had snap shares of 57 percent in Week 4 and 78 percent in Week 5. When he's on the field on a full-time basis, Barton is a stud -- he posted 46 tackles (26 solo) and a sack through the first five games. However, his steep drop in usage recently is a serious concern, and fantasy managers should manage their expectations in Week 7 against the Chargers.

  • Collects game-high 12 stops

    Barton recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Barton's 12 tackles in Week 5 now brings his total up to 46 on the season. With former Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner shipped to the Rams in March, the fourth-year linebacker has thus far enjoyed his first campaign with more defensive snaps (276) than special-teams snaps (69). Barton is slated to operate in a similar role Sunday when the Seahawks host the Cardinals.

  • No injury designation for Week 3

    Barton doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Barton didn't practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday due to a shoulder issue, but he appears to be full go heading into Week 3. Per Bell, Barton could continue operating as the primary slot cornerback with Justin Coleman (calf) doubtful for Sunday's contest. Across two games, Barton has totaled 21 tackles and one sack.

  • Limited Thursday

    Barton (shoulder/hip) was listed as a limited participant on the Seahawks' practice report Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton returned to practice after sitting out with shoulder and hip injuries during Seattle's sessions Wednesday, though the exact nature and severity of these issues are still unclear. The starting inside linebacker recorded 11 tackles while playing 96 percent of the Seahawks' defensive snaps in Week 2, and his ability to participate Thursday is a positive sign for his health heading into this Sunday's game against Atlanta.

  • Does not practice Wednesday

    Barton (shoulder/hip) was listed as a non-participant on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton is dealing with unspecified shoulder and hip issues following his 11-tackle performance in Week 2. The 25-year-old has stepped up as Seattle's starting inside linebacker following the departure of Bobby Wagner this offseason, and he has already recorded 21 tackles and two sacks over the team's first two games of the 2021 campaign. With Barton's injury status now up in the air, Nick Bellore and Tanner Muse could both stand to see increased usage as Seattle's only other healthy inside…read more

  • Another double-digit tackle outing

    Barton notched 11 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Barton moved into a starting role in the absence of Bobby Wagner and has recorded 21 tackles and a sack through his first two games. The 2019 third-round pick is playing nearly every defensive snap and has already proven to be a high-volume tackler, so he should be rostered in basically every IDP league.

  • Impressive opener

    Barton recorded 10 tackles (eight solo), two tackles for loss and a sack in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Barton moved into a starting role following the departure of Bobby Wagner this offseason. There were some concerns about his abilities, but he put most of those concerns to rest in the season opener with an outstanding performance, as he stopped two screen passes in the backfield and took down QB Russell Wilson. We should expect Barton to continue playing nearly every defensive snap moving forward. Fantasy managers should pick him up if he's available.

  • Running with first team

    Barton has been working with the first-team defense during training camp, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Barton is the next man up after the Seahawks cut Bobby Wagner and didn't sign or draft a viable replacement during the offseason. Last year, Barton started two games and posted 18 tackles (12 solo) and a pass breakup. It wouldn't be surprising if the team brings in some competition for Barton, but as long as he's in a starting role, he should have secure IDP upside.

  • Projected to start in 2022

    Barton is projected to start at linebacker in 2022 after the Seahawks didn't choose a linebacker during the 2022 NFL Draft, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Seahawks had a lot of needs heading into the draft and apparently felt comfortable with Barton as their starting linebacker next to Jordyn Brooks. If Barton can hold off any unexpected challengers, he'll have an opportunity to be a high-end IDP contributor for fantasy purposes. After all, both Brooks and Bobby Wagner -- who is now with the Rams -- topped 170 tackles last year.

  • Will be available Sunday

    Barton (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Barton was limited at practices throughout this past week, but he will return from his one-game absence Sunday. On the season, the 25-year-old linebacker has played 46 defensive snaps and recorded 16 tackles.

  • Questionable to take on Arizona

    Barton (quadriceps) is questionable to take on the Cardinals on Sunday, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune.

    Analysis: Barton recorded three straight limited practices this week, and that's certainly a step in the right direction considering he didn't face the Packers last weekend. If Barton can't go, then Seattle's linebacker corps would be quite thin in terms of depth. The former Utah standout has played in eight games for the Seahawks this season.

  • Inactive against Green Bay

    Barton (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Barton had appeared in each of the first eight games of the season but was unable to practice this week. Jordyn Brooks should see plenty of work at linebacker Sunday.

  • Could see increased role in 2021

    Barton made the Seahawks' 53-man roster, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Barton played just 114 defensive snaps last season, but with K.J. Wright no longer on the roster, he could handle an increased role this season. Still, the Seahawks often roll out just two linebackers. Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks likely will be every-snap players while Barton rotates in. Furthermore, Darrell Taylor, who is listed as a defensive end, could line up as a linebacker as well. All told, there's significant IDP upside for Barton if either Wagner or Brooks goes down, but he…read more

  • Two sacks in preseason opener

    Barton (quadriceps) recorded nine tackles (seven solo) and two sacks in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Barton is competing with Ben Burr-Kirven for the starting weakside linebacker role. Burr-Kirven impressed Saturday with 12 tackles (six solo) as well, but Barton's ability to get to the quarterback twice distinguishes him in the competition for now. Barton logged more than 25 defensive snaps once last season when he finished with 14 tackles against Minnesota in Week 5.

    Barton posted 35 tackles and two forced fumbles over 16 games during the 2020 season.

    Analysis: Barton made two starts at linebacker this year, and he was successful in those games, including a 14-tackle effort in Week 5 against Minnesota. However, he was most noticeable on special teams, where he racked up 17 tackles, leading the team and ranking second in the league. The 2019 third-round pick could take on a larger role in 2021 if K.J. Wright walks in free agency, but he should continue to have an impact in a special-teams role regardless.

  • Racks up 14 tackles

    Barton recorded 14 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: With Jordyn Brooks (knee) out of the lineup, Barton started at weak-side linebacker. Despite playing only 68 percent of the defensive snaps, Barton managed to tie Bobby Wagner for the team high in tackles. The 2019 third-round pick showed some true promise in primetime, but his role could be uncertain if Brooks returns after the team's Week 6 bye.

  • Makes four starts as rookie

    Barton registered eight tackles, a sack and two pass breakups over two playoff games and recorded 23 tackles and a pass breakup over 16 regular-season games.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick out of Utah jumped ahead of Shaquem Griffin on the depth chart and linebacker and made four starts -- including in both postseason contests -- while Mychal Kendricks battled hamstring and knee injuries. Kendricks likely won't be back for the 2020 season due to a torn ACL on top of pending legal issues, so Barton could retain a full-time starting role heading into training camp. If the Seahawks bring in another outside linebacker or edge rusher, however, Barton's path…read more

  • Full go Thursday

    Barton (thigh) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton is back on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals after being limited Wednesday with a thigh injury. With Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) trending down for Week 16, Barton could be in line for another start at strong-side linebacker.

  • Dealing with thigh injury

    Barton was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a thigh injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Barton played 81 defensive snaps and racked up 10 tackles and a half-sack during Sunday's win over the Panthers, but he apparently picked up the thigh injury at some point. The fact the 23-year-old began the week practicing in some capacity puts him on track to play Week 16.

  • Piles up 10 stops

    Barton made 10 tackles and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Barton started a second straight game with Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) still on the shelf. The rookie third-round pick performed well with the best tackling performance of his career while getting to the quarterback for the first time. Barton has a good shot to start again in Week 16 against the Cardinals since Bobby Wagner suffered a sprained ankle Sunday and Kendricks isn't a lock to be ready in time, either.

  • No lingering injury

    Barton (knee/ankle) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Barton was banged up after making his first career start in place of Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) in Week 14's loss to the Rams. However, the rookie third-round pick had an MRI that cleared him moving forward. If Kendricks misses another game, Barton's in line for another start against the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Set for MRI

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Barton (ankle/knee) is scheduled for an MRI, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Barton drew the start at outside linebacker in place of Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) during Week 14's loss to the Rams, during which the rookie third-round pick played through ankle and knee pain. He notched a career-high four tackles (one solo) and one defended pass, and will now undergo an MRI to diagnose the severity of his injury.

  • On track for start

    With fellow linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams, Barton is in line to start at outside linebacker, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Kendricks continues to deal with the hamstring issue that flared up last week and he failed to suit up in practice this week in any fashion. Barton has been used sparingly this season, however, seeing just 18 defensive snaps and logging six tackles. Even if Barton is thrust into the starting lineup, the Seahawks could elect to play more nickel coverage, leaving Barton out of the lineup in that instance.
