TE Isaiah Likely, BAL (1 Viewer)

[Don Quixote]

I could drop Elijah Mitchell and start Likely over Freirmuth but probably passing for one week.

FBG still has Likely as TE29 in DD. Only one staff member has updated his projections 12 hours later.

Yeah you should stand pat

Mitchell is a potential league winner

I dropped Sean Tucker - decent lottery ticket but hard for RBs on bottom 5 teams to ascend

I did the same this morning — dropped Tucker to pick up Likely.

Deciding between Pitts, Kincaid, and Likely with Pitts currently penciled in. With my opponent starting Allen at QB, each has his own benefits.

Same here, Pitts or Likely, currently have Pitts in ..

 

[Heisenberg23]

Kelce owner here - redraft half PPR.
i picked up Dulcich.
With Andrews news, should I drop Dulcich for Likely ?

Outside of the top 5-6 it is really the Wild West of guesses. I would side with Likely just from the fact that I am not sure how Payton will use Dulcich. I will probably be wrong though so there is that.

 

[need2know]

Him or Kincaid? Really thought andrews would play

I am playing both in a league..........

 

[Ardbeg4ever]

I picked up Likely over Taysom or Dulcich because I lost Kelce and Andrews this week

[Wrigley]

I have likely in one league. Im starting my TE1.

I could pick him up in another league, but I have Hock.

In yet another league imma stick with JuJohn.

I don’t see HOU putting up enough points to force Baltimore into a pass happy offense today. Plus Monken might want to show off his shiny new WR trio.

Week 1 I try not to get cute with my lineup. Often leads to subpar numbers.

Blocking your league mates might still a good move though

It’s week 1. I have no one I want to drop for him in my redraft leagues.

This is where I am

Not worth the 1 week rental

 

[neal cassady]

Final consensus TE rankings are in. Likely #5.

Is it only 1 week though? Andrews banged up all last year, and who knows how long he's out now

 

[efactor]

Yeah. Sig Bloom has him #3

I picked him up last night to block by opponent who has Andrews. I have Hockenson so putting Likely in the Flex.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Who can know. I have likely rostered in one league, but my starting TE is better.

 

[Down Under]

Picked up Likely, dropped Irv Smith, starting over Kincaid.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Started over Chig and sadly that seems like a good move now

 

[BobbyLayne]

 

[TampaMike19]

Feeling like a dope

 

[Proteus]

 

[efactor]

Feeling like a dope

Yeah. I'm with you

 

[The Gator]

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Would have started allgeier in flex if Andrews weren’t out.

 

[JohnnyU]

Fart

 

[BobbyLayne]

Yeah. I'm with you

and I was in here talking people into it this morning

sorry fellas

(not that Muth would have helped me that much with my Burrow/Chase stack)

you're doing the Lords work in your WSIS threads, much appreciated

 

[The Frankman]

Isaiah Likely caught one pass for four yards in the Ravens’ Week 1 win over the Texans.

Likely was a surprise start for the Ravens, who announced Mark Andrews (quad) would be sidelined for the season opener. Likely entered the day as everyone’s favorite backup tight end, but disappointed fantasy managers with just one catch on the afternoon. More brutal than the one catch was the one target he saw, as Likely appeared to be an after thought in this one. There’s a chance Andrews will suit up in Week 2 against the Bengals, fading Likely back into irrelevance.

[(HULK)]

So, Likely did nothing filling in for Andrews tonight for 55 minutes. He did nothing week 1.

Assuming Andrews is out, can we count on Likely to put up any points or are we better off scraping the waiver wire for whatever scraps are there?

I’m gonna say scraps. He never seems to rise to the occasion.

Bump Flowers and OBJ if he isn’t too hurt

It doesn't appear Likely will rise to the occasion, but you never know.

 

[BassNBrew]

Duverney also isn't going to disappear. They invested a 3rd rounder in him and the guy rocks special teams.

Last year Marquis Brown was on our waiver wire later in the year. Once Andrews got clicking he was coin flip for the 2nd flex position.

As far as Likely goes, Isaya likely a bust.

Isaya last year, but bears repeating, Likely a bust.

 

[zamboni]

The passing offense hasn’t been running through Andrews nearly as much as in previous years so I doubt it will be much different with Likely. I would keep my expectations in check.

Isaiah Likely said he will dedicate the rest of the season to Andrews. The second-year TE now becomes a big piece for the Ravens going forward.

Not only has he underwhelmed, but if you pick him up as your Andrews replacement, you still have to worry about the Week 13 bye.

I'll probably target Hunter Henry as the best option available over Likely

I snap added Likely as the injury happened. I’ll hold for a few weeks probably.

Looking to add one of Musgrave, HH, and Cade Otten. Musgrave with a nice week 12 @DET.

Conklin quietly getting good targets lately in NYJ too.

Mark Andrews has missed all or most of four games over the last two seasons. Isaiah Likely in those:

* 0-0-0 (last night)
* 1-4-0
* 8-103-0
* 1-24-1

I'd be a bit more optimistic than those results suggest though. Chance now to integrate Likely into the full-blown Andrews role.

https://x.com/adamlevitan/status/1725539579657121983?s=61

 

[icehouse]

I'm thinking of dropping Logan Thomas for him.

 

[OU#1]

It is highly unlikely that he emerges

Same

Dropped for Conklin today. Backup to Kelce

 

[JohnnyU]

I have him in 2 leagues and obviously hope he does well, but after he craps the bed next week people will be swapping him out for the next hyped waiver wire darling. Except those that don't have better options.

I don't really have much of a choice in dynasty. It's him or Noah Fant. Massive loss for my very awesome win now team.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Picked him up. Has some nice upside.

 

[icehouse]

Went unclaimed in my league

Isaiah Likely has a favorable schedule ahead

“Over the next six weeks, he has two matchups against teams in the top 5 at allowing fantasy points to tight ends.” - Nathan Jahnke on Isaiah Likely

The rookie WR got the over the middle looks so I'd guess that continues

 

[Bri]

I should also say, most TEs available in every league I'm in are 2-3 catch guys so I mean I'm fine with being wrong and having him

Sarah Ellison

Lamar Jackson on his confidence in Isaiah Likely with Mark Andrews going down: "He's always open when I'm watching the film. I feel like he'll step up."

https://x.com/sgellison/status/1727080582939836608?s=61

 

[massraider]

Even if he whiffs, he's the expected starting TE for a really good team who uses their TEs. People pick up players in much, much worse situations than this, and start them.

If TE is an problem for your team, this is it. There won't be a better situation on the waiver wire rest of season.

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Is Kolar going to get any run?

 

[The Gator]

Is Kolar going to get any run?

He got more fantasy points last game than Likely did after Andrews went out.

 

[Ilov80s]

Is Kolar going to get any run?

He got more fantasy points last game than Likely did after Andrews went out.

That also could have been game planning, Perhaps Likely has been practicing for a certain role and they just kept him in that role. It sounds like from the chatter coming from the team that they are ready and trust him to move into a pass catching role. He seemed to be playing well last week. There was a pass play where he had a rare triple block, completely taking out 3 Bengal defenders.
