TE Isaiah Likely, BAL (20 Viewers)

[Dez]

Likely hot past two weeks, and this week goes against the 32nd ranked Bengals. Why is he ranked TE17 by FBG? Is this the Andrews effect?
Injuries killing me, so I have to start him at flex first week of playoffs. Hoping for a shootout and a game like Fannin last week

17th is a strange ranking considering Andrews has sucked lately and Likely would have had back to back 20 point plus games it not for a fluke fumble and a dumb ref overturn call.

I am playing him

If you had both Andrews and Likely would you have the balls to bench Andrews in favor of Likely?

I am benching Andrews for Likely in a couple leagues I own both.

If Andrews doesn't score a TD he is about worthless.

Maybe both guys do good but Andrews lately is tough guy to start. He cost me my cutline championship last week with 1.9 pts when all I needed was about 8 pts now I have to fight back in from the WC round so I am playing Fannin over him if I had that last week I would still be in there.

Last 3 weeks

Week 14 - 1 catch for 9 yards (was with like less than 1 minute left or he would have goosed)
Week 13 - 4 for 47
Week 12 - 1 for 9 with 2 yards rushing
Week 11 - 3 for 32 and was about to be dead in the water but he got a lucky 35 yard TD run late in 4th on a fake tush push
Week 10 - 3 for 14 with a TD
Week 9 - 2 for 22 with 2 TD's
Week 8 - 3 for 34

Is that a guy you can trust ?

Likely the last 2 weeks has been explosive and if not for the 2 TD decables he would have 20+ point games in both.

If they were not playing Cincy I would bench both.

Should I sit Warren for this dude?? I am down bad facing Pitts, JSN, Josh Allen, Etienne, and Bijan. Typing that out seems insane as this team barely made the playoffs with that roster. I need multiple 40 burgers.

The floor is Warren, the ceiling could be Likely. I could see Rivers hitting Warren often though....2 practices, he's gauging who his most trusted guy would be, and betting its Warren...stick with him.

You mention that Rivers is gauging who his most trusted guy will be after 2 practices….and conclude that it will be Warren. Pittman caught 40 in-game receptions (for 500 yards) from Rivers when Pittman was a rookie. Other than “gut feel”, is there anything of substance that led you to that conclusion?

Short passes, and Warren is their best pass catcher

Pittman is extremely good as a short/intermediate receiver & has seasons of 99 & 109 receptions under his belt. I hope Warren has a great game though!

 

[Largent]

I doubt anyone has a good game for Indy.

Likely is the safer floor and the ceiling.

Well, I developed a pair of balls and benched Andrews for Likely. Now watch those balls shrink to the size of peanuts when this backfires on me. You've been warned.

Going to keep Hockenson starting instead of picking up Likely.

cue Likely 90 yds and 2 td today.

Hockenson has been a bum this year hasn't he? I would play Likely over him in a heartbeat.

Would you play Likely over Jajon Johnson in full PPR?

I assume you mean Juwan Johnson. I'd play Likely over him as well.

@JohnnyU very high on Likely today

alright man you convinced me

Likely over Hock the bum

I have the right to plead ignorance if it doesn't work out. Hell, when you also have Andrews as a option for the Ravens against the worst defense vs TEs, it could backfire and Andrews gets what I hope Likely gets.

I am. The prop lines convinced me. All Likelys odds are better
