Season so far
Derrick Barnes has delivered a solid 73.8 overall grade across 59 snaps in his lone appearance of the 2026 season. Because he has played only one contest so far, it is too early to evaluate any week-to-week trajectory. His season mark is overwhelmingly powered by an elite 94.6 run defense grade, featuring multiple stops for loss and disciplined edge tracking against scrambles. Conversely, his grade was held in the solid tier by neutral coverage play across 38 snaps, earning a 61.0 mark that included a 16-yard concession on a play-action bootleg. His minimal pass rushing and special teams reps also graded right at replacement level.
