Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. Smith Jr. practiced in a limited capacity on both Friday and Saturday but was listed as doubtful on the team's final injury report ahead of their MNF tilt against the L.A. Rams. The tight end position has not played a large role in Cincinnati's offensive game plan to start the season, Smith Jr. has just five catches for 27 scoreless yards through two games. Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox would fill in if Smith Jr. is unable to play but neither player has any fantasy value.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was one of the trending pickups when Mark Andrews (quad) was ruled out, but didn't reward any managers that decided to start him. Against the Texans, Likely finished with just one catch for four yards. Lamar Jackson showed that he wasn't relying on just any tight end, as both Likely and Charlie Kolar only saw two targets total. Heading into Week 2 against Cincinnati, Likely doesn't seem to have the streaming value that he once had if Andrews had to miss another game.
