Fantasy Football TE Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:
Isaiah Like💝ly (Ravens), was the highest recommended TE waiver wire pickup this week.
Analysis
First off, don’t panic🔯 on Mark Andrews. This recommendation does not come at Andrews’ expense and the perennial stu𝕴d should get better for fantasy as he gets healthier.
Tha🍸t said, I think Isaiah Likely could be a weekly starter at the tight end position no matter what Andrews does. We are looking at the very rare two-relevant-fantasy-tight-ends-on-a-single-team scenario.
In the kickoff game, Likely put togethe♏r a nine-catch, 111-yard, one-TD performanc🐭e that was half an inch away from being another catch, 10 yards, and touchdown better.
He was far and away the best receiver on the team, with Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers flashing briefly but doing little to lock down the WR1 role. Baltimore has no true alpha receiver, which means the “top dog” will likel𝓡y rotate week to week depending on the opponent and situation. I think෴ Likely ends up in that role as often as anyone, which makes him a must-add at a fantasy position that’s already looking thinner than we thought a week ago.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football TE Rankings?
Colby Parkinson (Rams)▨ is one of the best tight end stashes ahead of ♊Week 2.
Analysis
Colby Parkinson was a mostly-overlooked signing this offseason, coming in to ease the loss of Tyler Higbee —who doesn’t look to be returning by Week 5 when he comes off his initial IR designation— and provide a veteran presence in the tight end room. He wasn’t overlooked in the Rams offense in Week 1, though. His 42 routes run were the third-most on the team, with sophomore Davis A🐼llen running only four routes out of his six offensive snaps.
Parkinson turned his opportunities into a respe🗹ctable 4-47-0 stat line on five targets, and more could be on the way with🦩 the loss of Puka Nacua to the IR.
Nacua’s second-quarter exit led to a mind-blowing 21 targets for veteran Cooper Kupp in a losing effo♛rt, and one has to assღume that target share will spread out a little bit to at least partially preserve the 31-year-old. Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson are interesting targets this week, but let’s focus on Parkinson here.
The Cardinals ranked 23rd in TE aFPA last season and Parkinson currently has the highest route participation (86.0%) among any NFL tight ends after those 🔜aforementioned 42 routes.
The game is also currently slot♔ted for the second-highest total of the slate (49.5), despite the loss of one of the game’s most consistent receivers. Grab him up freely, as he is 🌟available in 94% of Yahoo leagues.
