Who Should I Start? Johnny Mundt or Isaiah Likely

Minnesota Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt caught two of three targets for just 12 yards during Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. Mundt has been operating as the Vikings' top tight end with T.J. Hockenson (knee) sidelined, but he has left a lot to be desired from a fantasy football perspective. With just four catches and 27 yards through two games, Mundt has lost most of his fantasy relevance and can be left on waivers heading into Week 3 against the Houston Texans.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely reportedly suffered a small fracture in his foot. Likely rolled his ankle during practice on Tuesday, with the injury initially believed to only keep him out a few weeks. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Likely should be able to return to the field early in the season and could be ready for Week 1 if his recovery goes smoothly. Likely's injury clears the way for Mark Andrews to be the only tight-end target in the Baltimore offense after the former siphoned work away from Andrews during the 2024 season. Likely was popping up as a sleeper option at tight end in fantasy drafts, but his injury makes it a bit more risky to use a late-round draft pick on him.
