Ravens WRs Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) are listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. Agholor did not practice all week and is a long shot to be cleared by Saturday. Bateman was added to the injury report on Wednesday and then did not practice on Thursday. He was spotted in a walking boot on Thursday morning. That might leave Baltimore without its No. 2 and 3 WRs this weekend. That'd likely mean target-share boosts for WR Zay Flowers and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
Update: The Ravens later downgraded Agholor to out.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely tallied 5 receptions for 38 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 8 targets led the team, while his 5 receptions trailed only Mark Andrews.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews rebounded to post a 5-catch, 44-yard line in Monday's win over the Chargers. He added his sixth TD of the season.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely returned Sunday after missing Week 10 and leaving Week 9 early with a hamstring injury. He tied for third on the team with 5 targets and first on the team with 4 receptions in the loss to the Steelers. TE Mark Andrews, meanwhile, managed just 2 receptions for 22 yards on 3 targets
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s showdown vs. the Steelers. Likely is a low-floor fantasy play, but his return puts a dent in TE Mark Andrews’ playing time and target projections.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should put him on track to return for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. Likely isn't a viable fantasy starter, but his return knocks Mark Andrews from top-5 TE to low-end TE1.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely's absence in Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals put TE Mark Andrews back in a full-time role. He played 87% of Baltimore's offensive snaps and ran a route on 94% of pass plays -- both easily season highs. Andrews capitalized on the opportunity, catching six of seven targets for 68 yards and a score. The targets, catches, and yards all ranked top two on the team. Andrews' TD came on a route that QB Lamar Jackson said afterward was improvised. It looked like Andrews was supposed to run a shallow cross but instead turned it upfield to break free for an 18-yard score.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) missed practice all week and is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. Likely has matched TE Mark Andrews with a 61% route rate and averaged 3.8 targets per game this season. His absence should mean a boost in playing time for Andrews against Cincinnati, although it's always tough to know exactly what Baltimore's game plans will look like.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. He played a season-low 30% of the offensive snaps last week -- and it looks like we now know why. We'll see if Likely practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. His absence would likely mean a boost in playing time for TE Mark Andrews.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews failed to score again ending up with a stat line of four catches on five targets for 55 yards against the Bengals. The rest of the Ravens TE room found the end zone though with Isaiah Likely catching all three targets for 13 yards and two TDs and Charlie Kolar catching three of four targets for 64 yards including long 55-yard TD.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews ended with a final stat line of four catches on five targets for 51 yards. He bounced back a bit after Week 1 and had more targets, catches and yards than fellow TE Isaiah Likely.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely was the star of Thursday night's opener vs. the Chiefs. The third-year TE hauled in nine of 12 targets for 111 yards and a score. The targets, catches, and yards all led the team. Likely was especially busy in the fourth quarter, tallying five catches for 73 yards and his TD on an impressive 49-yard catch-and-run. He nearly had a bigger night, catching what appeared to be a game-tying 10-yard score as time expired. But replay revealed that Likely's toe was an inch out of bounds.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews returned to the practice field Friday for the first time since what he called an "extremely scary" car accident 16 days earlier, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports. Andrews said he's not dealing with any injury from the incident and is ready to play in the regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely has had a "fantastic" training camp, HC John Harbaugh said this week. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec notes that, while TE Mark Andrews leads the team in camp receptions, "Likely isn't far behind."
The Ravens have wrapped up offseason workouts, and Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic highlighted TE Isaiah Likely as a spring standout. "Likely's work in OTAs and minicamp gave Monken even more reason to polish those multiple tight end sets," Zrebiec writes. "From making highlight-reel, one-handed catches in the middle of the field to finding openings underneath to pulling away from defenders after receptions, Likely looked like a player who will be hard to keep off the field."
The Ravens have activated TE Mark Andrews (ankle) from IR. That solidifies his readiness to play Sunday against the Chiefs. Will he immediately reclaim his pre-injury role? TE Isaiah Likely has played well with Andrews out, and OC Todd Monken told the team website that will factor into how they determine usage. Ultimately, Andrews makes for a risk-reward fantasy play this weekend. Likely gains risk with the return of Andrews but remains in play for small-slate DFS contests. And QB Lamar Jackson can only gain upside with the return of -- historically -- his top target.
The Ravens expect TE Mark Andrews to play in Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It'd be Andrews' first game since suffering a cracked fibula and ankle ligament damage on November 16. Andrews practiced all last week, including full workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, but was held out of the Texans game. We'll look for more info on how big a role Andrews is expected to play on Sunday and update his projections accordingly.
The Ravens aren't expected to activate TE Mark Andrews (ankle) from IR ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Andrews has been a full practice participant this week, so we'd guess he'll be ready for next weekend's game -- should Baltimore beat Houston this weekend. His absence will keep TE Isaiah Likely in the starting lineup against a defense that's been third most friendly in the league to TE scoring. Likely sits fourth among TEs in our rankings for the Divisional Round. But he sports upside beyond that position.
The Ravens have designated TE Mark Andrews to return from IR. That opens a three-week window for him to practice before the team must decide whether to return him to the active roster. This move doesn't necessarily mean Andrews will be ready for Baltimore's playoff opener next weekend -- or at all during the playoffs. But it's obviously a positive step in that direction. Keep in mind that Andrews remains a high-risk option for full-playoff fantasy football contests. But we have moved the TE up our playoff rankings. We'll keep tracking his progress.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews appears on track to return from his leg injury at some point during the playoffs -- and perhaps even by Baltimore's first game. Greg Scholz of Inside Injuries says (via The Athletic) their data "suggests [Andrews] will reach Optimal Recovery before Baltimore's first game." That would come in Round 2, after the Ravens' bye in the Wild Card round. HC John Harbaugh most recently said in late December that Andrews had avoided setbacks and might even be "a little ahead of schedule" in his rehab, according to Baltimore Beatdown. Andrews suffered a fibula fracture and high-ankle sprain in Week 11 that required surgery shortly thereafter. His return would obviously be good news for the Ravens' offense. It would also hurt the playoff outlook for replacement TE Isaiah Likely. Andrews makes for a boom/bust option in playoff fantasy contests. We likely won't know until next weekend whether Andrews will play in that game. And we can't know until he takes the field whether Andrews will need to work through any limitations. Returning from high-ankle sprains can be especially tricky. Whether you should take a shot on Andrews depends heavily on your contest type. We'd downgrade Likely's standing at least a bit, though.
