Between the lines

Market participants maintain a bullish outlook on Likely, valuing him as a low-end TE1 or high-end TE2. This suggests a belief in his target share and production potential that is not fully reflected in current expert rankings.

MarketBall's MarketRank is a market-adjusted consensus ranking, meaning it starts with expert fantasy consensus and moves players up or down based on credible prediction-market signals. Market Edge measures the difference between these two rankings.

Isaiah Likely and the Baltimore Ravens are set to play the Tennessee Titans this Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
