2023 Fantasy Outlook
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). Read Past Outlooks

March 15, 2024
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning against Cowboys
LBWashington Commanders
November 21, 2023
Barton will be activated from injured reserve Wednesday and will play Thursday against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barton has been sidelined since Week 7 due to an ankle injury but is expected to make his return in Week 12. He racked up double-digit tackles in three of Washington's first six games of the season and will bolster the middle of the defense, which has been gashed by the Seahawks and Giants in consecutive weeks. Though the Commanders are all but out of playoff contention, the second half of the season will still be pivotal for Barton, as he's set to hit free agency this offseason.
See All NFL Rumors
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Bobby Wagner was cut this offseason, meaning Jordyn Brooks - who was second in the NFL with 184 tackles last season - will take over as the team's defensive play caller. The Seahawks didn't make any big moves in the draft or free agency to replace Wagner, so Barton has a clear path to a starting gig. A 2019 third-round pick, Barton still is at risk of losing the job if the Seahawks add a veteran, but if he secures it for Week 1, his IDP upside could be massive. After all, Wagner managed to post 170 tackles even with Brooks having a career year.
