Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Isaiah Likely

Saturday, September 27, 12:30 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (concussion) has been ruled out for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Fant has recorded 12 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through his first three games of 2025. In his absence, Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could see a larger role in the passing game. Gesicki has logged five catches for 38 yards on 10 targets so far this season. The 29-year-old will still likely split snaps with fellow Bengals tight ends Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson, and Gesicki will remain behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the target pecking order in Cincinnati. All Bengals tight ends should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Friday. The 25-year-old is making his 2025 season debut after being sidelined for the first three weeks. He's looking to build off an impressive 2024 campaign in which he had a career-high 42 catches, 477 yards, and six touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE16. Mark Andrews is still the No. 1 tight end in Baltimore, especially after catching two touchdown passes last week, but Likely will still carve out a role and could also be a top-24 fantasy tight end.
