TE Isaiah Likely, BAL (1 Viewer)

[dblock05]

I own both and am going to start Andrews. He gets another week

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I don't think we can make any definitive judgments until we see them play a team that doesn't try to take away Andrews to the extent that KC did.

Can you tell me who you'd start week 2 if you owned both Andrews and Likely?

I'm not convinced that Andrews is fully healthy, so Likely.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Am I investing too much into TE? I have Pitts, Hockenson on IR (Not totally sure when he will be back) and a 34% bid on Likely.

I simply do not trust Pitts and would love to sell high on him at some point following a good week. Hock is a stud but that is a major injury and I don't trust Darnold not to remain bad.

I don’t trust Pitts either but the odds of Likely repeating that week 1 performance isn’t likely. I just made a funny.

In all seriousness I like Likely but 34% to me is only if you consider yourself very TE needy.

 

[Grid71]

Likely looked like the alpha watching the game. Right now he’s in my lineup over Bowers.

 

[Big Nate]

As a recent Andrews AND Likely owner here are a few thoughts and I don't know what will happen long term but here goes (my few bucks worth):

Andrews, when/if healthy, is their true #1 TE. I don't see this changing. He's too good when healthy and is that big bodied red zone threat Lamar likes. I think Andrews TD upside is higher than Likely, at least right now.

Andrews TE1, Likely TE2.

Both these guys play different. Andrews looks and plays like a good BIG pass catching TE. Andrews has worked on his blocking over the years and has worked his way up to a higher snap count. He is no Kittle but he has proven he can now be on the field for running plays. Early on in his career Andrews was barely pushing 50-60% even when he was considered the starter. They didn't use him much unless it was a passing down. He eventually worked his way up to 90% in 2022. In 2023 Likely slowly started to make his name heard, especially once Andrews went down.

Likely is more of a big slot WR they can move around and get him in space. BAL has been desperate to find that 2nd/3rd receiver after Andrews. Flowers seemed to be poised to be that guy at the start of the game and then Likely ended up with 12 targets - leading the team. Likely is showing he can make things happen if they use him more. Likely isn't going away anytime time soon, but neither is Andrews.
Q: Is Likely pushing to be the #2 in this offense? Or was this due to Andrews still banged up?

As of now I still say Andrews is 1, Flowers is 2 and Likely is 3. That could mean decent production some games for Likely but might not be consistent. I think Likely is very talented and has earned his way to more targets. I just don't think he's going to get 12 targets each week and usurp Andrews (yet).

If you can get Likely for cheap (that may have sailed) or have him in keeper/dynasty then see what shakes out. But as long as Andrews is #1, Likely might be tough to trust for a starting spot in your fantasy line up.

If Andrews ends up out or just can't get back to 100% this year then it is indeed wheels up for Likely.

I'm just saying proceed with caution.

What if I could be TE needy if I own Andrews? That’s why I’m dropping $31 on Likely.

I don't normally say handcuff TEs but this is one case where it would be warranted depending on league/bench spots. I hate carrying 2 TEs in redraft but I may make some exceptions.

Someone who is desperate for a TE might toss up to 50% thinking he's now the #1 target in BAL. Could it be? maybe but its unLikely.

Just proceed with caution. He is good and he is probably pushing for more targets - great problem to have if you are BAL as you now have a third weapon on the field.

I guess this is the strategic aspect of fantasy football.

Personally I think Likey doesn’t repeat week 1 and neither does Andrews. Not exactly a bold call.

I don't think you are paying $31 expecting a repeat. You are betting on the fact that Ravens used 12 personnel a ton, and have said so all off-season that they were planning on utilizing Likely. Likely seems like their #3 option in the passing game behind Flowers and Andrews, and appears to have cemented himself a well-deserved role in a potent offense. That type of usage in that offense would put him as a borderline #1 TE

He also has big-play ability, and is great after the catch.

Andrews is also not 100% right now because of the car accident he was in recently, so there is a potential that he isn't right this season or re-aggrivates injuries already sustained. This would ofcourse vault Likely into discussion for top 3 TE the rest of the way.

So good solid standalone value with big play ability, and the potential to be a top #3 TE if Andrew's were to get hurt anymore. Seems like a good bet to me

If you see Likely as an every week starter for your lineup I can see the argument to go hard.

Noted and thanks! Excellent information . This is the type of response and info that I look for and appreciate. It's why I visit and use this forum frequently. I'm in a deep dynasty and I'm thinking of bidding almost 50 percent of my bidding points or him. When does his contract end with Baltimore? If he finishes the season strong even with Andrew's he'll definitely be getting some teams interested in him.

 

[(HULK)]

I own Andrews \ Likely in a TE premium dynasty. Also Hock.

I'm still flip flopping on who to start this weekend. I do think that if Andrews is healthy, I might be starting both with Likely in at flex. And maybe later in the season starting Hock also, potentially 3 TEs in at once. This would be over Amari\Hollywood\James Conner.

Then again Andrews and Likely might vulture each other into lower output and Hock might not be fully healthy ever this year. Wide range of outcomes I guess.

start both.

 

[cockroach]

I think Andrews TD upside is higher than Likely, at least right now.

I don't. Likely's speed/rac ability make him a threat from anywhere on the field and his size makes him a great target in the red zone.

People thinking he won't top last week again are mistaken, imo. He's going to have multi TD games. He was TE5 weeks 12-18 in my league. He's pretty good.

Crazy part is he was an inch away from 10 rec 130 yds and 2 TDs

 

[Smack Tripper]

He went for 13 percent and 19 percent in two different leagues

 

[VikingFrog]

He went for 13 percent and 19 percent in two different leagues

71% in mine… to a guy that already has McBride but we can flex TE.

I put about a 35% bid in thinking I might have a shot.

 

[Pots]

26% but honestly, if anyone watched week 1, I think he's him.

 

[Gally]

Personally I think Likey doesn’t repeat week 1 and neither does Andrews. Not exactly a bold call.

He may not have 9 receptions or 111 yds again but having multi TD games on 6 or 7 receptions and 70-80 yds is very much in play every week.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Missed out on him in both leagues (One had a 51% bid). I have Bowers in one and Pitts/Hockenson in the other so I can't be too mad, but I think Likely is a very good pickup for those lucky enough to land him.

 

[Schmeabs]

I had number 1 waiver priority and passed on him. Didn't claim anyone as the pool was weak and I have LaPorta so I would never start Likely.

50% in my league, didn’t get him. Prioritized Mason. Agree he’s an excellent pickup though.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

He could have been a pretty nice trade chip at some point.

Do your priorities reset each week or are you holding onto #1 WW for an even bigger opportunity?

 

[pmark]

I’m in a similar situation. Couldn’t bring myself to burning my high waiver slot on a TE when I had LaPorta. It was hard to pass on likely though

 

[Big Nate]

FWIW he went for 60% in one of my leagues.

Do not reset so holding for better opportunity

 

[drunkb]

Burned my #2 waiver on him. I only had Njoku. We'll see if it bites me in the *** or not. Nobody interesting was dropped during this waiver run, so no instant regrets at least.

I don't think there will be regrets as he will get targets each week just don't expect 12. Some weeks he might go 4-55 and you might have to be happy with that. He does run hard after the catch so there is always a chance he gets those extra yards for the big play. His real value sky rockets if Andrews isn't 100% still.

 

[Ray Barboni]

This is the time of year to “burn” a high waiver priority. The talent available is often a better in the long term, and youve got plenty of weeks left to get your waiver priority back up.

I don’t think you’ll regret his move. Njoku and that high ankle has me concerned

 

[Scooby1974]

I wonder if he ends up taking more looks from Bateman than he does from Andrews?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Pretty much same for me. Had Dave and Hock as my only two TEs and a high waiver spot. No real regrets at the moment.

 

[Big Nate]

I wonder if he ends up taking more looks from Bateman than he does from Andrews?

In that offense and system he seems to be put in a better spot than Bateman. I sure feel for Bateman as I did for Hollywood when he was there. These outside receivers just don't fit what Lamar likes to do.

Bateman signed a 2-year extension but man I would like to see him in a different offense.

Bateman is unplayable. This passing offense will revolve around Flowers, Andrews, and Likely.

I too have LaPorta and I scooped him up. Going to be either trade bait for a WR or he is going to ascend to a tier 1 TE this year imo. Finished last year strong. This camp he was the standout star building more chemistry with Jackson. Highest targeted player week 1. Jackson looked for him multiple times in the endzone and he nearly had another TD a week ago. Also, who else do the Ravens have? Flowers is the WR1...and after that...nobody really. Sure the occasional dump to Hill out of the backfield may happen, but Likely is a WR in a TE body. I think they continue to roll out two TE sets and Likely is a very atheltic TE that can produce even with an aging Andrews still getting his looks each week. In a NON FAAB league where waivers reset each week, why not take a chance on this guy?

5 targets with a ADOT north of 26. He is going to have a few big games.

I don't think he has it in him. 4th year breakout? Probably not.

I honestly think he has stand alone value regardless of Andrews. As I mentioned the passing game is Flowers and as of now Likely then Andrews in the pecking order. Likely can line up anywhere and can be a factor on a team that can support two stud TEs.

[Proteus]

26% but honestly, if anyone watched week 1, I think he's him.

Not only this, but on one of Andrews' few receptions, he caught the ball and then flopped around like a grandpa waking up from a drunk holiday nap and then falling thru the Christmas tree.

Wherever it's headed, that's where it was on Sunday. Can this weekend be that much different? One week at a time for me. This week I'm starting Likely over Andrews.

Reminds me of the Patriots a few years back in my dynasty league. I was able to start Hernandez & Gronk. It can be successful!

I’m in a similar situation. Couldn’t bring myself to burning my high waiver slot on a TE when I had LaPorta. It was hard to pass on likely though

I too have LaPorta and I scooped him up. Going to be either trade bait for a WR or he is going to ascend to a tier 1 TE this year imo. Finished last year strong. This camp he was the standout star building more chemistry with Jackson. Highest targeted player week 1. Jackson looked for him multiple times in the endzone and he nearly had another TD a week ago. Also, who else do the Ravens have? Flowers is the WR1...and after that...nobody really. Sure the occasional dump to Hill out of the backfield may happen, but Likely is a WR in a TE body. I think they continue to roll out two TE sets and Likely is a very atheltic TE that can produce even with an aging Andrews still getting his looks each week. In a NON FAAB league where waivers reset each week, why not take a chance on this guy?

If waivers reset each week I agree with you and would have done the same. My league does not reset waiver order each week. I think Andrews is still the TE to own in Baltimore but Likely will have occasional good weeks.

I honestly think he has stand alone value regardless of Andrews. As I mentioned the passing game is Flowers and as of now Likely then Andrews in the pecking order. Likely can line up anywhere and can be a factor on a team that can support two stud TEs.

Reminds me of the Patriots a few years back in my dynasty league. I was able to start Hernandez & Gronk. It can be successful!

Yup. FWIW Likely took 27 snaps inline/TE, 21 Out of the Slot, 4 Wideout, 1 from the backfield. He will be used everywhere in Monken's beloved 2 TE sets.

Blew 100% of my faab for him. Big league. (Redraft)

Team stacked, bench too... but my only TE was ferguson. Had to do what i had to do.

Zero regrets.

80 prob would have got it done

Wish yahoo showed what the other bids were... At least on the app it doesnt, but sleeper does.

Anyways, i couldn't run the risk, w only ferguson. I have a championship worthy team

The app for Yahoo is rough, especially with the changes. On the website it will show other bids on the "offers" tab.
