For the second week in a row, Barnidge is the big winner among Fantasy tight ends. He scored on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Robert Griffin III and should reap plenty of targets in what looks like a Browns downfield attack. Some Fantasy owners are specifically targeting Barnidge as a middle- to late-round pick with some really strong upside.
