BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: The first few weeks of the 2024 season have been frustrating for managers invested in Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely's production. Likely was not viewed as a startable tight end entering Week 1, but after he broke free for 111 yards and a touchdown in the season opener, managers scrambled to add him off the waiver wire.
In the two games since then, however, Likely is averaging just 1.5 catches, 15 yards, and zero touchdowns. The Ravens' entire tight end room has been confusing as Mark Andrews was out-snapped and out-produced by both Likely and Charlie Kolar in Week 3.
Remember when everyone thought they won the lottery with Isaiah Likely after Week 1?
Three catches for 30 yards since.#TEwasteland

This Sunday, Likely and the rest of the Ravens' tight ends face off against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points and the fourth-most receptions to opposing tight ends this year.
The favorable matchup saves Likely from falling to the TE2 tier this week. He's still a TE1 in 14-team leagues and is worth consideration in 10- or 12-team leagues, too. This ranking is a product of Likely's matchup, his talent, and a lack of other available options at the tight end position in Week 4.
