BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has always been a fan favorite by those in the dynasty fantasy football community. He shined during the preseason as a rookie, and many called him a handcuff to Mark Andrews.
When the star tight end suffered a season-ending injury in Week 11, Likely took over as the starter. Over the past three weeks, the second-year player is the TE5 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 11.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
Last week, Likely had five receptions on seven targets for 83 receiving yards and 16.8 fantasy points in the win over the Los Angeles Rams, all season-highs. He finished third on the team in receiving yards market share (26.3%), behind Odell Beckham Jr. (per Fantasy Points Data).
Tomorrow night, Likely faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in a critical playoff matchup. The AFC South division leaders have surrendered 11.2 fantasy points per game to tight ends, the fifth-most in the NFL. Last week, David Njoku had two receiving touchdowns and 24.1 fantasy points against the Jaguars. Fantasy players can trust Likely as a low-end TE1 in Week 15.
