Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or Isaiah Likely

Saturday, November 15, 5:02 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely hasn't really found a groove this season like he did at certain points last year. His best game was in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins when he collected three receptions for 60 yards and finished as the TE18 in half-PPR formats. Coming into a Week 11 matchup with the Cleveland Browns, Likely holds a bit more value with Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Justice Hill (toe) both being sidelined. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers will probably remain the top two targets, however, and the Browns have only allowed five touchdowns to tight ends all season. That means Likely is still projected as a low-end TE2 who shouldn't be counted on in standard leagues.
