BALLER MOVE: Start in 20+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2
ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers thought Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was the waiver wire pickup of the year after his strong Week 1 performance. Likely finished with nine catches for 111 yards and one touchdown in that game while finishing as the overall TE1. However, Likely hasn't been a consistent fantasy option over the past few weeks.

Despite scoring 16.3 PPR fantasy points last week behind a two-touchdown day, the Ravens tight end will be a risky TE1 option this week against the Commanders. Likely hasn't seen more than three targets in four straight games, and Washington has only allowed 15 catches to tight ends all year.
As a result, it's too hard to trust Likely as your TE1 this week, and he should only be started in 20-plus team leagues this weekend. Since Week 1, the 24-year-old tight end has only totaled seven catches for 69 yards and two touchdowns.
