Agree, but it's hard to stomach going out and getting Likely for his current value (mid 2025 2nd) when he will presumably be on the bench most of the time.
In a non-TE premium league I'd agree but even in a smaller roster FFPC type league would you not sometimes pay a future second for the handcuff RB to your starter if you thought that handcuff would put up for starting numbers if called upon and be within a year or two out from likely having a job all to himself? I would and I really don't see the difference here. He's sort of like a Kendre Miller/Trey Benson of TE's, only he's more proven.
I agree with the sentiment others have expressed about Likely being more valuable if you own Andrews but the same theory I just said applies to me even if I don't own Andrews. Meaning even in smaller FFPC leagues I'm holding handcuff's to starting RB's, like Kendre and Benson, I don't own, and would value some of them as high as future seconds if not more if I think they within a year or two of having a starters role to themselves, which is what I think will go down with Likely.
Won't quote myself or repeat everything but all my thoughts from my post a few above I made in January, post #337, I am standing on and operating my teams on that premise.
