2024 Fantasy Outlook
Barnes has been productive when he's garnered defensive snaps in his four-year career, averaging 4.8 tackles per game. Kyzir White's season-ending biceps tear in 2023 provided Barnes with an opportunity, and he parlayed it into 34 tackles over the final six contests. White returned to health during the offseason program, meaning Barnes will be relegated to a reserve gig as long as the former stays on the field. Read Past Outlooks

Back on Cardinals' roster
The Cardinals signed Barnes off the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Barnes was initially omitted from Arizona's 53-man roster at the end of training camp and signed to the practice squad Wednesday. That was a deliberate move by the Cardinals, who needed to keep a spot on the initial roster open for Elijah Jones (heel) after placing Darius Robinson (calf) and Christian Jones (ankle) in the two spots dedicated to players placed on injured reserve who are designated to return. With Jones now placed on IR without having to miss the entire 2024 season, Barnes was brought back onto the active roster Thursday. Barnes played in 16 regular-season games in 2023 and finished with 55 tackles (35 solo), six passes defended and one interception.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Barnes joined the Packers as an undrafted rookie in 2020 and put up 161 tackles in 29 appearances in his first two seasons. The arrival of 2022 first-rounder Quay Walker pushed Barnes to a reserve role last year, with Walker and De'Vondre Campbell manning the starting inside linebacker spots. Injuries didn't do Barnes any favors, either, limiting him to 29 tackles in six games. After Green Bay didn't tender Barnes as a restricted free agent this offseason, he moved on to Arizona, where he'll serve as MLB depth behind Kyzir White.
