It's time for our last look at the CBS Sports Average Draft Position data heading into Labor Day weekend, as well as our first look at the waiver wire. This is a busy weekend for Fantasy drafts, and we want to make sure you're prepared. But many of you have already drafted and are looking to add free agents and alter your rosters.
You can view the CBS Sports ADP here. And we'll break down all the tight end movement, as well as the players who could still be available in your leagues. Isaiah Likely is my favorite tight end to wait for on Draft Day, especially at his ADP (91.2) as TE11.
We've been waiting for the chance to see Likely in a featured role, and he finally gets that this season after leaving Baltimore for a three-year deal with the Giants. Ideally, Likely will be second on the Giants in targets behind Malik Nabers, and we'd love to see Likely average at least six targets per game. In his four-year career with the Ravens, Likely has nine games with at least six targets.
He scored at least 12.5 PPR points in eight of them and averaged 16.6 PPR points over that span. Jaxson Dart showed as a rookie that he will lean on his tight ends. Theo Johnson had 10 starts with Dart in 2025, and Johnson scored at least 10.2 PPR points in six of those outings, while averaging 5.5 targets per game over that span.
I expect Likely to be a top-10 Fantasy option in 2026. Harold Fannin Jr.'s ADP is on the rise at 70.3, and he's being drafted as TE6. Fannin was amazing in 2025 as a rookie, and he closed the year on a tear with at least 11 PPR points in five games in a row, while averaging 15.8 PPR points over that span.
It helped propel Fannin to the No. 8 PPR tight end for the season, and he finished the year with 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets, which led the team. Fannin could lead the Browns in all those categories again in 2026, but he has much more significant competition now with KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Jerry Jeudy also remains on the roster, and Deshaun Watson doesn't have a good history of throwing to tight ends.
