Top TEs To Start in Week 14

Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens (vs. LAR)

In his first opportunity without Mark Andrews in the lineup back in Week 12, Isaiah Likely didn’t do anything to jump off the screen. Yet, his opportunity was encouraging, posting six targets and leading the Baltimore Ravens in receiving.

Now, he draws a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams defense that is allowing the second-most fantasy points per contest this year to opposing TEs. If you scooped up Likely off of the waiver wire a couple of weeks ago, or he’s out there now, he needs to be in your starting lineups this week.

David Njoku, Cleveland Browns (vs. JAX)

David Njoku didn’t light up the stat sheet with his performance in Week 12, but the opportunity — six targets — was encouraging. Additionally, the fact that this offense looked competent with Joe Flacco in his first start with the team is another reason to buy into starting Njoku here in Week 14.

Another week to develop chemistry with his receiving weapons, and Flacco could have this offense performing well enough to present Njoku with scoring opportunities to go along with a high target floor. He’s a solid option at the TE position going into next week.
