Bhayshul Tuten or Isaiah Likely: Who Should You Start?

The call

• The script is the selling point: Jacksonville favored by 7.5 with a 24.0 implied total is the run-heavy, fourth-quarter-clock profile that turns a committee back into a usable flex.
• The role is the problem — 21% snap share and a 3% target share over 15 games means his 12.9 projection is banking on a workload he hasn't consistently held, and PPR value is capped without passing-game work.
• Questionable status stacks risk on top of that; if he's limited or splits early-down work, this is a 6-8 point floor game.
• Cleveland grades middle of the pack (17 of 32 DvP) on a 0-game sample with zero confidence, so the matchup neither rescues nor sinks the call — tip it to start only if he's cleared with an expanded role, otherwise take a locked-in replacement.

The call

• Consensus has him TE12 at 9.4 PPR points, literally the last starting tight end in a 12-team league — no margin over a typical waiver TE.
• Role is real but not dominant: 59% snap share and a 14% target share over 11 games means he needs volume or a red-zone look to clear his projection.
• Matchup leans the wrong way — Dallas grades 10 of 32 on the DvP composite (32 = softest), though the 0-game sample means low confidence in that read.
• Reported plan to use him as a 'big slot receiver' with only five wide receivers available is the tipping point: if that materializes and Nabers is limited, his target share jumps and he becomes a start; if he's back to a standard TE snap count, sit him.
