ISAIAH LIKELY NEWS

Stellar showing in playoff defeat Likely brought in four of five targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Likely led the Ravens in receiving yards on the evening while delivering a spectacular diving touchdown reception with 1:33 remaining to bring Baltimore within a two-point conversion of tying the Bills and likely forcing overtime. Prior to that, the third-year pro delivered 39- and five-yard grabs on the Ravens' opening possession to help set up the first touchdown of the game. Likely recorded 126 receiving yards over Baltimore's two-game postseason run following a regular season during which he posted a career-best 42-477-6 line on 58 targets across 16 games. Likely is due to play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, but the combination of his ascension this past season and Mark Andrews' age should result in the former receiving an offer for an extension this offseason.

Leads team with 53 yards Likely had three receptions on four targets for 53 yards in Saturday's 28-14 playoff win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Likely finished as Baltimore's leading receiver with just three receptions in a run-heavy game script Saturday. The talented backup failed to bring in either of Lamar Jackson's two touchdown passes, resulting in a modest fantasy line. Likely will continue playing second fiddle to veteran starter Mark Andrews (four touches for 32 yards vs. PIT) as the Ravens advance to face either the Bills or Chiefs in the divisional round.

Impact Likely finished third in targets for the Ravens on Saturday while tying his highest yardage total since Week 13. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the talented backup failed to hit pay dirt which ended his touchdown streak at two games. Likely finishes the regular season with new career bests in receptions (42), receiving yards (474) and touchdowns (six). The Ravens will now prepare for either the Chargers or the Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Maximizes one catch Wednesday Likely secured his only target for a nine-yard touchdown in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans on Wednesday.

Impact Likely found the end zone for the second time in four days on his late second-quarter scoring grab. The second-year tight end hasn't eclipsed 38 receiving yards in five straight contests, but he's capable of emerging in the Ravens' highly efficient and versatile offense in any given game.

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.

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.

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, 2024 • 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.
