Isaiah Likely - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds end zone in win Likely caught all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.

Impact Both Ravens tight ends got into the end zone Saturday, with Likely opening the scoring in the first quarter with a nine-yard reception. The third-year player set new career highs in receptions (38) and receiving yards (430) with the performance, and his five TDs on the season ties the career high he set in 2023. Likely hasn't reached 40 yards in four straight games however, making him a TD-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against the Texans.

Makes two grabs Sunday Likely caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Impact Likely's usage dropped back off Sunday after he drew eight targets in Baltimore's last game before the bye. He continues to play a healthy snap-share as he has been on the field for over halt the snaps in each of the last three games, but his usage in the passing game is inconsistent. The Ravens have a pivotal home game against the Steelers in Week 16. In Likely's last outing against Pittsburgh, he caught four of five targets for 75 yards.

Bounces back with trip to end zone Likely had five receptions (eight targets) for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Likely responded well from his zero-catch outing against the Chargers last week, posting his fourth touchdown reception of the season against the Eagles on Sunday. Starter Mark Andrews produced the finer fantasy line (6-67-1) while Likely still helped managers who stuck with him following the aforementioned dud against Los Angeles. Likely should be a viable fantasy option in deeper formats when the Ravens return from the upcoming bye to face the Giants on Dec. 15.

Not targeted in win Likely failed to record a single target in Monday's 30-23 win over the Chargers.

Impact Likely was held without a catch for just the second time this season as the 24-year-old continued what has been a mostly disappointing season after a hot start back in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Mark Andrews produce a solid performance Monday, catching all five of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown. Likely did, however, lead all Baltimore tight ends in playing time, as he was on the field for 35 of the Ravens' 65 offensive snaps. Andrews and Charlie Kolar finished with 27 and 32 snaps, respectively. With Andrews more involved in the passing game as the season has progressed, Likely has lost most of his fantasy utility within the Ravens' aerial attack. Barring injuries, the Coastal Carolina product should not be trusted for consistent fantasy production going forward. The Ravens are set to host the Eagles in Week 13.

Leading receiver in loss Likely caught four of five targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers.

Impact The third-year tight end led the Ravens in receiving yards and tied Justice Hill for the team led in catches, as the Steelers' defense focused on shutting down the deep passing game. Likely had missed last week's win over the Bengals due to a minor hamstring strain, but he appears fully healthy and will look to make an impact again in Week 12 against the Chargers.

NOVEMBER 17 • BALTIMORERAVENS.COM

All clear to face Steelers Likely (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Likely will return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. After being a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Likely practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday. While Likely's healthy, he will likely continue to cede most of the targets among Ravens tight ends to Mark Andrews, which had usually been the case in the weeks leading up to Likely's injury.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Practices fully Thursday Likely (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact The full session should clear the way for Likely to return to action Sunday in Pittsburgh after he sat out the Ravens' Week 10 win over the Bengals due to the hamstring injury. His absence last week freed up a larger role in the passing game for top tight end Mark Andrews (6-68-1 receiving line on seven targets), but the expected return of Likely in Week 11 will presumably lower Andrews' fantasy ceiling. As for Likely himself, he's failed to come close to matching his lofty production in the Ravens' loss to the Chiefs in Week 1, when he caught nine balls for 111 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. In his subsequent eight appearances combined, Lively has been contained to a 15-160-2 line on 22 targets.

Limited in return to practice Likely (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Likely didn't practice last week and ended up missing a 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday. It was his first absence of the season, and a return to practice Wednesday suggests he has a shot to make it back for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Wednesday Likely (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Likely missed last Thursday night's thrilling win over the Bengals, but the extended time off appears to have done him some good. With Likely sidelined last week, Mark Andrews played a season-high 87 percent of the offensive snaps and drew a season-best seven targets in the passing game, finishing with a 6-68-1 receiving line. Likely's return would be a ding to Andrews' fantasy stock and again make this a three-man tight end group, including Charlie Kolar.

Not practicing yet Likely (hamstring) wasn't on the field Tuesday for the Ravens' practice session, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Likely hasn't practiced in any fashion since tweaking his hamstring in the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Broncos. The Ravens will have three more practices this week, and Likely will need to get back on the field in some capacity Wednesday through Friday to have a chance at returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Steelers.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off injury report; TE Isaiah Likely out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is off the injury report for Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but tight end...

NOVEMBER 6 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Ruled out for Thursday Likely (hamstring) won't play Thursday night against the Bengals.

Impact Likely was listed as a 'DNP' over the last three days, and he'll sit Thursday's game out and target a potential return to action Nov. 17 against the Steelers. In his absence, Mark Andrews is slated to lead the Ravens' TE corps versus Cincinnati, with Charlie Kolar also mixing in.

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing for Ravens, Isaiah Likely Still Sidelined Lamar Jackson isn't at Tuesday’s practice, while Isaiah Likely missed his second straight session.

Sidelined for practice Tuesday Likely (hamstring) wasn't on the field for Tuesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Likely had been previously listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, and with Tuesday being the Ravens' only full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Bengals, the tight end looks to be at real risk of missing his first game of the season. The injury may explain why Likely was held to a season-low 31 percent snap share in the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Broncos. If Likely were to sit out Thursday's contest, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar could see increased reps, and fullback Patrick Ricard -- who caught a three-yard touchdown in Week 9 -- could also see the field more frequently as a blocker.

Listed as DNP on Monday Likely (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a new injury for Likely, who had yet to miss a single practice rep all season through nine weeks. The Ravens have a quick turnaround this week ahead of a Thursday night date with the Bengals. If Likely is unable to go, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar would handle tight end duties, and Baltimore could opt to use more three-wide sets with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and newcomer Diontae Johnson.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Best game since opener Likely caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

Impact This was Likely's highest catch and yardage output since his eye-opening season opener against the Chiefs. Though Likely didn't cash in a touchdown, he was still efficient as he caught everything thrown his way on a strong 12.0 YPT clip. His best catch came on a 25-yard gain that set up an eventual touchdown to Mark Andrews in the third quarter. Likely is up to 24 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets this season and draws a matchup against the Broncos in Week 9.

Best game since opener Likely caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Two grabs in Week 7 Likely caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Despite leading all Baltimore tight ends in offensive snaps (35), Likely was not much of a factor in the Ravens victory of the Buccaneers on Monday night. Teammate Mark Andrews, however, had his first big game of the season, catching all four of his targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns. The 24-year-old Likely caught just two passes for the second-straight week, and it is possible he could see his role in the offense continue to be diminished by Andrews' possible rise to his former production levels. Nonetheless, Likely is extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Browns.
