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.

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.
