Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Isaiah Likely (BAL): 35% rostered

Next Opponents: LAR, @JAX, @SF
True value: $4
Desperate need: $6
Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: In Week 12, as Baltimore’s starting tight end, Likely had a 69.4% route run rate, a 15.6% target share, 1.60 yards per route run and a 13.3% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). All of those usage metrics are TE1-worthy. Likely has had an up-and-down history when called upon as Baltimore’s starter, but he should piece together solid stat lines over the next two weeks. The Rams and Jaguars have allowed the eighth-most and 12th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, respectively. Likely is a plug-and-play TE1.

Cade Otton (TB): 49% rostered

Next Opponents: @ATL, @GB, JAX
True value: $2
Desperate need: $4
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Otton has been a familiar name in this article. When the matchup has been right, he has popped off as a TE1 this season, with four TE1 outings (TE11, TE12, TE3, TE12). The last time he played against the Falcons, he did exactly that, with five receptions and 43 receiving yards to finish as the TE12 for the week. Atlanta and Jacksonville have allowed the fourth-most and 12th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, respectively.

Gerald Everett (LAC): 39% rostered

Next Opponents: DEN, @LV, BUF
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: My love for Everett as a player has been well-known for some time, but I haven’t gushed about him since the summer. My lips have been sealed about Everett since August because of Kellen Moore’s yearning for a three-TE rotation. This still is a problem for Everett, but his usage ticked up some last week with a 63% snap share and a 13.5% target share. Everett is a TE2 who could find his way into the TE1 good graces this week with a wondrous matchup with Denver. The Broncos have allowed the most fantasy points per game and the most receiving yards per game to tight ends this season.

Brevin Jordan (HOU): 15% rostered

Next Opponents: @NYJ, @TEN, CLE
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Jordan was Houston’s starting tight end in Week 13, as Dalton Schultz was sidelined with a hamstring injury. As long as Schultz is out, Jordan will be the full-time tight end tied to the magic-producing football cannon that is C.J. Stroud‘s right arm. Last week, Jordan played 77% of the offensive snaps with a 14.8% target share and 2.37 yards per route run. He finished second on the team in receiving yards. With Houston’s wide receivers having to deal with Jets CBs Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed in Week 14, Jordan could see an elevated role. Don’t be surprised if he is a TE1 in Week 14.
