Who Should I Start? Isaiah Likely or Dalton Kincaid

Wednesday, November 12, 10:11 AM

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Baltimore Ravens could consider using the franchise tag on tight end Isaiah Likely. Likely is currently in the final year of his rookie contract, and would earn roughly $12 million in 2026 under the tag. After missing the start of the season with a broken foot, Likely has struggled to regain form, recording just 10 receptions for 103 yards through six games. The Ravens' tight end situation will be one to monitor next offseason, as veteran Mark Andrews is also approaching free agency. If Likely can rebound, he could emerge as one of the more intriguing tight end options on the 2026 market.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott reports that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not be active for this weekend's meeting with the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid sustained a hamstring injury in Week 10's loss to the Dolphins that was deemed week-to-week. After failing to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, it's no surprise that he won't be able to suit up for this Sunday's clash with the Bucs. Fantasy managers can expect teammate Dawson Knox to handle most of Buffalo's tight end duties in Week 11, with teammate Jackson Hawes mixing in behind him. Wide receiver Khalil Shaki (ankle, ribs) is also trending toward playing.
