Who Should I Start? Johnny Mundt or Isaiah Likely

Monday, September 16, 12:20 AM

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 had a quiet game in his team's Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, recording two catches for 17 yards. However, Likely saw a season-high five targets. In the two full games he has played with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson this season, Likely has been targeted nine times, hauling in five catches for 77 yards. The presence of veteran tight end Mark Andrews in Baltimore limits Likely's playing-time upside, as he's played fewer than 59% of the Ravens' offensive snaps in each of their past three games. Still, Likely has proven he can be productive when Jackson is under center for Baltimore. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns, Likely could be a decent stash candidate for fantasy managers to pick up off the waiver wire.
