News

  • Six targets as starter

    Likely recorded four receptions on six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: As expected, Likely took over the top tight end role in Baltimore in the absence of Mark Andrews (ankle). He finished second on the team with six targets, and he paced all Baltimore pass catchers in yardage. Likely should remain significantly involved in the offense moving forward, though he's likely to cede volume to the likes of Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham depending on the context of a given matchup.

  • Set for increased role

    Likely appears poised to become a significant piece of Baltimore's offense after Mark Andrews (ankle) suffered a long-term injury in Thursday's 34-20 win over the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Likely has had a limited impact in his second NFL season, tallying only nine catches across 11 games. He entered Thursday's game against the Bengals with just 170 offensive snaps, though his usage will certainly increase moving forward. Likely showed some potential as a pass catcher in his rookie year, racking up four catches of 20 or more yards while also topping 100 receiving yards in Week 18.

  • Light role once again Week 7

    Likely played 17 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted Sunday in the Ravens' 24-16 win over the Titans in London.

    Analysis: Since taking on a 71 percent snap share in the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Texans while Mark Andrews was sidelined, Likely has predictably faded back into a smaller role on offense. He's played fewer than one-third of the Ravens' snaps on offense in five consecutive games and has gone without a target on each of the past three contests.

  • No targets Sunday

    Likely did not draw a target on 14 snaps Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: Likely's role continues to diminish with Mark Andrews back in the fold and the Baltimore offense deploying fewer two tight end sets. His snap count has dropped every week since Week 1, and Sunday marked the first time that he failed to draw a target this season. Fellow tight end Charlie Kolar didn't play, either, so it's not as if Likely is losing playing time to another tight end. Instead, it appears that it's Mark Andrews or nothing as far as tight ends go in the new Baltimore offense.

  • Costly drop in loss

    Likely had one reception for 20 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Likely continues to struggle to make an impact, and there are concerning trends in regards to his role. While his two targets marked a season high, his snap count fell under 20 and has decreased each week since the season began. Likely also had a costly drop late in the game that could have extended a Ravens drive. The team's new offense has not been as inclined to use two-TE sets as it was in the past, and with Mark Andrews now healthy, the room for Likely to produce is shrinking. Baltimore…read more

  • Catches one pass in win

    Likely secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Likely operated as the Ravens' primary backup tight end Sunday with Mark Andrews making his 2023 debut. The 23-year-old took the field for just 25 of Baltimore's 75 offensive snaps and, as expected, was not an important part of the team's offensive game plan. With Andrews healthy, Likely should remain off the fantasy radar when the Ravens host the Colts in Week 3.

  • Headed back to backup role

    Likely is set to move into a reduced role Sunday against the Bengals with Mark Andrews (quadriceps) listed as questionable but on track to make his season debut, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Barring any late setbacks with his injured quad leading up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Andrews should start at tight end and see a typical workload after he closed the week as a full practice participant. While Andrews was sidelined for the Week 1 matchup with the Texans, Likely couldn't take advantage of the favorable matchup against a weak opponent, nor a big bump in playing time. Despite taking the field for 41 of the Ravens' offensive plays (71 percent share), Likely managed just a…read more

  • Comes up short in start

    Likely caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in Sunday's win over the Texans in Week 1.

    Analysis: With Mark Andrews (quad) sidelined, Likely was expected to step into a larger role in the season opener. Likely logged 71 percent of the offensive snaps and yet he drew just one target. Likely was the only Ravens tight end to play significant snaps as Charlie Kolar logged 13 snaps on offense. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson leaned on his receiving corps ,as Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham comprised the bulk of the target volume. Andrews' status for Week 2 is uncertain at this stage, so…read more

  • Filling in for Andrews

    With fellow tight end Mark Andrews (quadriceps) inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Texans, Likely is in line to serve as the Ravens' top tight end in Week 1.

    Analysis: Andrews will thus target a potential return next weekend, but in Baltimore's season opener, Likely has a chance to see enough snaps and targets to yield fantasy utility. In that context, the 2022 fourth-rounder profiles as a streaming option, as well as a lineup fill-in for those impacted by Andrews' absence.

  • In line for bigger role

    Likely is expected to serve as the Ravens' No. 1 tight end Sunday against the Texans with Mark Andrews (quadricep) listed as questionable for the contest but considered unlikely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With the Ravens expected to err on the side of caution with Andrews for Week 1, Likely should be in store for an extended role on offense and becomes an intriguing streaming option for tight-end-needy fantasy squads. He started two games as a rookie last season when Andrews was sidelined and recorded nine catches for 127 yards and one touchdown between those contests.

  • Returns to practice

    Likely (undisclosed) was able to practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Analysis: Likely was believed to be dealing with a contusion, although specifics of it were not available. Ultimately though, the second-year pro's quick recovery and return to the field is good news for the Ravens. The 23-year-old generated buzz with his preseason performance last season, which carried over to a modest contribution of 36 catches for 373 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie campaign. He'll continue to work to earn a larger role in Baltimore's passing game in his second NFL season.

  • Misses practice

    Likely didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Likely is dealing with a contusion and could be back later this week or next week. Assuming he avoids any further setbacks, Likely is slated to continue to work behind top tight end Mark Andrews heading into the regular season. In 16 games as a rookie in 2022, Likely recorded 36 catches (on 60 targets) for 373 yards and three touchdowns. As long as Andrews is available, Likely's fantasy upside is modest, but the 23-year-old offers streaming appeal in the event…read more

  • Huge volume in Week 18

    Likely recorded eight receptions on 13 targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Likely moved up the depth chart with Mark Andrews (coach's decision) sidelined for Week 18. He quickly emerged as Anthony Brown's favorite target, and he showed the ability to capitalize by racking up 7.9 yards per target. The highlights of his performance came on a pair of receptions of 28 and 22 yards, respectively. Andrews will almost certainly be back on the field for Baltimore's wild-card round matchup against the Bengals, though Likely has shown the ability to contribute as the second…read more

  • Cashes in short score

    Likely caught three of five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Likely teamed up with fellow tight end Mark Andrews (9-100-0) to provide nearly all of the Ravens' receiving output Sunday (130 total passing yards). The rookie was the beneficiary of Tyler Huntley's lone passing touchdown, with the veteran taking care of the heavy lifting between the end zones. Likely hasn't topped 18 receiving yards in any of the four games Huntley has started, but he would receive a boost in projections if Lamar Jackson (knee) is able to return from injury to face the…read more

  • Another quiet showing

    Likely had two receptions on three targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Likely once again took the backseat to fellow tight end Mark Andrews, as the latter saw 30 more offensive snaps in Week 15 compared to the rookie. With wide receiver Devin Duvernay having suffered a potentially significant injury during Tuesday's practice, Likely could be more involved in Baltimore's passing game down the stretch if Duvernay indeed misses time. The Ravens are now scheduled to host the Falcons on Saturday.

  • No targets against Steelers

    Likely was not targeted on 16 snaps Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: In fairness to Likely, his chances of producing Sunday were slim with Baltimore starting Tyler Huntley at quarterback, and his chances got slimmer when the Ravens had to turn to undrafted rookie Anthony Brown to lead the offense. Baltimore attempted 17 passes on the day and only five passes after Huntley (concussion) went out. Likely drew four targets on 18 snaps against Denver in Week 13 with Huntley at the helm for the majority of the game. If the Ravens have to start Brown in Week 15 against…read more

  • Efficient outing Sunday

    Likely caught all four of his targets for 30 yards Sunday against the Broncos.

    Analysis: The rookie returned from a one-game absence Sunday and turned in one of his more efficient outings of the season. It marked the third time this season he caught every target. Likely seemed to have a solid rapport with Tyler Huntley after he came in for the injured Lamar Jackson (knee). Still, Mark Andrews, Demarcus Robinson and Devin Duvernay led the team in targets. Baltimore plays at Pittsburgh in Week 14.

    Likely (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: The 2022 fourth-rounder was limited Wednesday, but Likely's return to a full practice Thursday puts him in line to suit up Sunday against the Broncos. However, as long as Baltimore's star tight end Mark Andrews is healthy and available, Likely will profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

  • Logs limited practice

    Likely (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: After initially being listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Likely was subsequently downgraded to out one day in advance of the contest. The tight end's ability to practice Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to return to action this weekend against the Broncos, but with Mark Andrews healthy and available these days, Likely's bankable fantasy upside is modest.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Likely (ankle) has been downgraded to out and won't play Sunday against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The return of Mark Andrews from a one-game absence last week has lessened the importance of Likely's status, though the rookie still drew three targets in the Ravens' Week 11 win over the Panthers. Expect Josh Oliver to see more playing time as the Ravens' No. 2 tight end this weekend.

  • Picks up ankle injury

    Likely is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Likely appears to have suffered the injury in practice Friday, when he was listed as a limited participant after having not been included on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday. Even if the rookie tight end suits up this weekend, he's unlikely to play a major role barring an injury to starter Mark Andrews.

  • Catches one pass in loss

    Likely caught one of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Likely reverted to his backup tight end duties Sunday, with Mark Andrews returning from a one game absence due to shoulder and knee injuries. The rookie played 22 of the Ravens' 69 offensive snaps while Andrews played 64 snaps. Barring another injury to Andrews, Likely seems unlikely to see enough usage to be a consistent fantasy asset. The 22-year-old can be left out of most lineups when the Ravens visit the Jaguars in Week 12.

  • Moves back to No. 2 TE role

    Likely is expected to serve as the Ravens' No. 2 tight end in Sunday's game against the Panthers with Mark Andrews (shoulder/knee) active after sitting out Baltimore's most recent game Week 9 against New Orleans, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: While Andrews was out of the lineup Week 9, Likely started and played a career-high 75 percent of the Ravens' snaps, finishing with a 24-yard touchdown catch among his five targets. Even though Andrews has operated as the Ravens' clear top tight end when available, Likely's skills as a pass catcher and the underwhelming state of Baltimore's wideout corps should still allow him to see a good amount of field time Sunday. In the seven games this season that Andrews has finished, Likely has seen…read more

  • Tallies early touchdown

    Likely recorded one reception on five targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Likely turned in an underwhelming effort in the absence of Mark Andrews (shoulder) despite leading the team with five targets. He looked to be in for a big performance after connecting with Lamar Jackson for a 24-yard catch to tally Baltimore's first touchdown of the game, but he was silent from that point forward. Likely's run as the team's starting tight end could also be coming to an end, as Andrews will have the chance to rest and recover during Baltimore's Week 10 bye.

  • Set to fill in for Andrews

    With fellow tight end Mark Andrews (knee/shoulder) having been ruled out, Likely is slated to see an expanded role Monday night against the Saints.

    Analysis: With Andrews limited to 10 snaps in Week 8 against the Buccaneers, Likely stepped in and saw action on 51 offensive snaps en route to catching six of his seven targets for 77 yards and a TD. Now that both Andrews and top wideout Rashod Bateman are both out, Likely figures to see enough volume versus the Saints on Monday to maintain fantasy utility once again.

    Likely is expected to serve as Baltimore's top tight end in Monday's game against New Orleans with Mark Andrews (shoulder/knee) listed as doubtful for the contest, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Andrews missed most of the Ravens' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers due to his pair of injuries, Likely stepped in to play two-thirds of the Ravens' offensive snaps, finishing with a 6-77-1 receiving line on seven targets. With Andrews now trending toward missing the entirety of Monday's game, Likely looks like a good bet to see his snap share climb even higher. Even the stellar receiving line may be replicable, as the Ravens are expected to not only be down Andrews, but also top wideout…read more

  • Shines with expanded opportunity

    Likely brought in six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-22 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Mark Andrews exited the game early with a shoulder injury, and Likely took advantage to produce a co-team-high reception tally, a team-leading yardage total and his first NFL touchdown on a 10-yard go-ahead scoring grab at the end of the third quarter. Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports Andrews' shoulder injury is considered minor, but perhaps Likely's production with the extra opportunity can earn him a bump in targets beginning with a Week 9 road matchup versus the Saints on Monday…read more

  • Role diminishing in offense

    Likely caught his lone target for a 16-yard gain in Sunday's win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Likely played a season-low six offensive snaps Sunday, which is a concerning development for the rookie at this stage of the year. He does not appear close to carving out a larger role in the offense. Meanwhile, Josh Oliver has played 33 percent or more of the snaps in each of the last three games, including 49 percent Sunday. Likely and the Ravens have a quick turnaround Week 8 as they travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers on Thursday.

  • Gets more involved Sunday

    Likely caught two passes for 30 yards on four targets Sunday against the Giants.

    Analysis: Likely's snap share was roughly the same as it was in Week 5 but he was more involved in the passing game as he drew four targets for the first time since Week 2. He converted those looks into 30 yards on two receptions but has yet to find the end zone this season. Likely has seen red-zone targets in each of the last two weeks, however. The Ravens host the Browns in Week 7.

  • Gets back in box score

    Likely caught both of his targets for seven yards Sunday against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The rookie got back in the box score but the results still weren't overly impressive. Likely managed to reel in both targets but that totaled just seven yards. Since Likely's pseudo-breakout game against Miami in Week 2, he has three catches for 15 yards on four targets. It's also worth noting that Likely's 14 snaps Sunday marked a season-low. Baltimore heads to East Rutherford to face the Giants on Sunday.

  • No targets Sunday

    Likely was not targeted on 23 snaps against the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Likely saw the second-highest snap count of his young career Sunday but it did not result in any production. In fairness, Buffalo largely shut down Baltimore's tight ends as Mark Andrews even struggled with two catches on five targets. Still, Likely started the season with nine targets in his first two games and now has two total targets over his last two outings. Cincinnati has allowed modest production to opposing tight ends thus far, so it will be interesting to see if Likely can get more…read more

  • Held to one catch in Week 3

    Likely had one catch for eight yards on two targets Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Likely's snap count increased slightly Sunday, going from 17 to 19, but it did not translate into a larger role in the passing game. He drew a season-low two targets and ended with just eight yards after going for four catches and 43 yards Week 2. It appears Likely does have a stable role where he'll play roughly one-third of the offensive snaps each week, but the target volume could be erratic as he gets acclimated to this offense as a rookie.

  • Listed as active Sunday

    Likely (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: After Likely was blanked on four targets in Week 1, he logged a 4/43/0 line on five targets last weekend against the Dolphins. However, as long as the 2022 fourth-rounder continues to work behind clear-cut top TE Mark Andrews, he may not always see steady volume, a context that makes Likely a speculative fantasy option.

    Likely (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at New England.

    Analysis: Through two games, the rookie fourth-round pick has played a modest role for the Ravens, logging 38 percent of the offensive snaps to date. While operating behind Mark Andrews (83 percent) doesn't lend itself to a lot of work, Likely followed up getting blanked on four targets Week 1 with a 4-43-0 line on five targets this past Sunday against the Dolphins. After being limited Wednesday through Friday due to a groin injury, Likely's status for Week 3 won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes…read more

  • Limited in practice

    Likely was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a groin injury, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Likely caught four of five targets for 43 yards in a 42-38 loss to the Dolphins this past Sunday, making the most of his 17 snaps after finishing without a catch on four targets Week 1. He didn't leave the Week 2 loss early, and his ability to practice at all Wednesday suggests the groin injury isn't serious. Likely isn't getting enough playing time to trust in fantasy, but he holds an interesting role in Baltimore's offense, functioning more like a No. 3 receiver than a No. 2 tight end.

  • Makes first receptions of career

    Likely caught four of five targets for 43 yards Sunday against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The rookie got in the box score in Week 2 after being held without a catch in the season opener. Likely had five targets on 17 snaps, which is a notable rate. The one target he did not catch was noteworthy, as it gave the Dolphins the ball late in the game and helped Miami complete its comeback. That said, Likely's usage and efficiency were encouraging overall. Likely and the Ravens travel to New England to face the Patriots in Week 3.

  • Held without a catch in debut

    Likely was held without a catch on four targets Sunday against the Jets.

    Analysis: After shining in the preseason, Likely had a rough introduction to NFL regular-season play Sunday. The fact that he drew four targets -- which tied for third on the team -- is a positive sign for him going forward, but being held without a catch means there's room for improvement for the rookie. Likely was on the field for 24 of 51 snaps on offense, and that share could tick up once he starts converting on his opportunities. Baltimore hosts Miami in Week 2.

    Likely hauled in all eight of his targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Likely has now strung together two gaudy preseason performances (144 total yards and a touchdown) in just four quarters of action. A fourth-round pick from this year's draft, he's dazzled with his usage, but it's important to note that Mark Andrews has yet to play in either of the team's two exhibitions, indicating that Likely may start the year as the Ravens' No. 3 tight end behind Andrews and fellow veteran Nick Boyle.

    Analysis: Mark Andrews is the clear No.1 option at tight end, but fellow rookie Charlie Kolar's injury means there's one less hurdle for Likely to clear in order to have a role. Likely, a rookie from Coastal Carolina, has carried over his positive momentum from minicamp to begin training camp as he is showing reliable hands and a better-than-expected ability to separate from defenders.
