Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Isaiah Likely

Saturday, December 2, 10:51 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram faces the Cincinnati Bengals in a home Week 13 primetime showdown. Another week, another scoreless affair for the veteran who just keeps adding more targets to his league-leading 84 looks without a touchdown. Engram led the team in targets against the Texans which included two in the end zone, so the Jaguars are clearly looking for the athletic pass-catcher in scoring position. To further help his case, Cincy ranks 30th against opposing tight ends and just allowed Pat Freiermuth to put up 120 yards on nine receptions in his first full game since Week 4. Engram has a great chance to finally break his scoreless streak on MNF. Lock him into your tight-end slot this week.

The Baltimore Ravens are likely going to be without tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) for the rest of the season, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the team isn't expected to change their game plan or playbook and expect Isaiah Likely to be able to run the same plays as Andrews did as their primary pass-catching tight end. The second-year tight end has a big opportunity for the rest of the season in a high-scoring Ravens offense, although quarterback Lamar Jackson could focus more on targeting receivers Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman more in the passing attack. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider Likely a TE1/2 streaming option, but he's certainly not going to put up numbers anywhere close to Andrews', so temper expectations.
