It might seem crazy to trust Likely in Week 16 against New England after he did nothing in Week 15 at Cincinnati with no targets, but the Ravens barely had the ball against the Bengals with only 40 total plays. And Lamar Jackson attempted just 12 passes. The Patriots are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and eight guys this season have scored at least 11.3 PPR points against New England. I would go back to Likely as a low-end starter in deeper leagues in Week 16. Keep in mind that prior to Week 15, Likely had nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets and scored 12.5 PPR points in consecutive games against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.

Likely was not targeted Sunday against the Bengals. Likely's usage was surprising Sunday given that he had been playing better of late, including his five-catch, 95-yard game against the Bengals in Week 13. There were some factors working against Likely, though. Baltimore ran just 40 plays and possessed the ball for 20 minutes. Further, Lamar Jackson only attempted 12 passes as the team leaned on the ground game. Likely played 50 percent of the snaps, which is in line with his usual percentage, but he was not able to draw one of the few targets that were available Sunday. The Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Likely is hot heading into Week 15 at Cincinnati, and he's worth using as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. In his past two games against the Bengals and Steelers, Likely scored exactly 12.5 PPR points in each outing, but he could have done so much more. Against Cincinnati in Week 13, Likely lost control of the football just before the goal line on a 43-yard reception, resulting in a touchback. And against Pittsburgh in Week 14, Likely had a touchdown overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. But he should make up for any lost production this week against the Bengals, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. There have been 13 tight ends with at least 10.7 PPR points against Cincinnati, and the Bengals lead the NFL with 15 touchdowns allowed to the position. I like him as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues, and Mark Andrews is also a potential starter given the matchup.

It's been a wild two weeks for Likely since he should have scored two additional touchdowns against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Against the Bengals in Week 13, Likely lost control of the football just before the goal line on a 43-yard reception, resulting in a touchback. And against the Steelers in Week 14, Likely had a touchdown overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. He still scored against Pittsburgh and now has 12.5 PPR points in each of his past two games with nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets over that span. This week, Likely faces the Bengals again, and Cincinnati continues to struggle with tight ends. I like Likely as a low-end starter in all leagues, and he's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.
