Isaiah Likely fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Isaiah Likely for fantasy football lineups?
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.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise. Entering Week 1, there were hints that rookie Kaelon Black was second on San Francisco's running back depth chart, but that wasn't fully confirmed until Jordan James was a healthy scratch. Black not only won the […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason. All three wideouts were ranked closely together because some experts punted on the group and preferred not to mess with it, while others […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]
