New Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken was known for his use of tight ends at the University of Georgia, where he recruited five-star talents by the dozen. The only guy who loves the position more than Monken is his quarterback, Lamar Jackson. Since Jackson’s MVP campaign in 2019, tight ends have been targeted five percent more often in Baltimore than anywhere else in the league. Now, Isaiah Likely is not Mark Andrews. However, he has shown talent and will have opportunity. Last week, he ran 26 of 33 possible routes, an excellent mark for a tight end. As a rookie last season, Likely had five games where he saw five or more targets. In those contests, he averaged more than 13 fantasy points, which would be good enough for the TE5 in 2023. Opportunity, efficient passing and a great fantasy playoff schedule — add it all together and you have a must-add tight end option.
