Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's title game against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the young tight end was able to log a full practice during Friday's final session, which is a great sign for his ability. Earlier in the week, Likely logged two straight limited sessions. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status. Likey has been sidelined throughout the first three games of the campaign while recovering from foot surgery. Last season, Likely caught a career-high 42 passes for 477 yards and six touchdowns. However, even if Likely were to turn the corner and make his season debut this weekend, fantasy managers should expect him to continue to operate as the No. 2 tight end behind veteran Mark Andrews, which significantly lowers his fantasy projection.

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said the team is hoping to get tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) back on the field in Week 4, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Likely underwent foot surgery in August and has yet to suit up in 2025. The 25-year-old recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns across 16 games (nine starts) in 2024. Likely will probably need a bit of a ramp-up period upon his return, so he may see a limited workload in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs even if he's active for the game. Still, Likely's presence could take targets away from Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, who recorded six catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3. Once Likely is fully re-integrated into the offense, it may be tough for either Baltimore tight end to provide consistent top-12 fantasy production at the position.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was listed as a limited participant during the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday, according to the team. A foot injury has kept Likely out for the first three games of the 2025 season, but head coach John Harbaugh is hoping that the 25-year-old will be able to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. Likely's return will be bad news for Mark Andrews, who broke out for six catches, 91 yards, and two touchdowns in Monday night's loss to the Detroit Lions after catching just two passes for seven yards the first two weeks. Likely will almost certainly be on a snap count if he returns this weekend in a bad matchup, so he would not be a recommended fantasy play. When fully healthy and sharing time with Andrews, Likely will be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in Baltimore's high-scoring offense.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions. Likely has yet to play this season after suffering a broken foot early in training camp. While he was limited in practice this week, the team ultimately decided he wasn't ready for a return in this primetime game. With Likely sidelined, Mark Andrews will continue to handle the bulk of tight end snaps, with Charlie Kolar mixing in when the Ravens deploy two-tight-end sets. The matchup is a tough one (Detroit allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2024), making Andrews more of a streaming option this week rather than a locked-in play. The Ravens hope Likely can return in Week 4 when they travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Detroit Lions. The young tight end, who broke his foot in training camp and underwent surgery to repair it, has been limited to individual drills at practice all week. Although he was not placed on Injured Reserve, which allows him to return at any time, he will not be a factor this week. Last season, Likely posted a solid stat line of 42 receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns. However, the Ravens have one of the lowest target shares to the tight end position this year, with only five targets in two games, four of which went to veteran Mark Andrews. Likely should continue to be stashed in most formats and hopefully will see the field in Week 4.

Baltimore Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic predicts that Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) will not make his 2025 season debut until Week 4. Likely underwent foot surgery in August and has not suited up for the Ravens yet this season. He's been able to return to the practice field, but only in a limited capacity. In 16 games for Baltimore in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns. His absence should theoretically improve the outlook for Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, but Andrews has just two catches through his first two games of 2025. When both Ravens tight ends are active, it's difficult for fantasy managers to trust either to provide consistent top-12 fantasy production at the position.
Sep 20, 2025 2:10 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) said he's "taking it day by day" when asked by reporters about his chances to play in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Likely had foot surgery in August and missed Baltimore's first two games of the season, but he has returned to practice in a limited capacity. The 25-year-old had 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Upon his return, he's a candidate to steal playing time away from Ravens veteran tight end Mark Andrews. Andrews has just two catches so far in 2025, so Likely could even take over as Baltimore's TE1 at some point in 2025. Neither player profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end when sharing the field, but Likely may have the higher upside at this point in their respective careers.
Sep 19, 2025 4:00 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is on the practice field for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, according to Bo Smolka of Press Box. Likely will probably be listed as limited, but it's a good sign that he's making progress after being limited last Friday. The 25-year-old is probably facing an uphill battle to be active on Monday night in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, but he's getting closer to making his 2025 debut. If you're not stoked on your TE options in fantasy, Likely is worth a pickup now if he's available in your league's waiver wire. Fellow tight end Mark Andrews has been uncharacteristically quiet in two games with Likely sidelined, catching only two of his four targets for seven yards, with the Ravens scoring over 40 points in both of their games. With Andrews struggling, Likely could certainly take over TE1 duties in Baltimore once he's back to full strength.
Sep 18, 2025 1:52 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was in uniform and doing a workout in front of the training and medical staff on Friday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Likely has "upped his activity level" and is getting closer, but he won't play in Week 2 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. It sounds as though Likely could return as early as Week 3 against the Detroit Lions after fracturing his foot in training camp. The 25-year-old will miss a second straight game to open the year, giving veteran tight end Mark Andrews an opportunity for increased opportunities this Sunday after he fell flat in the season-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday night, when he had just one catch for five yards. We'd expect Andrews to be more involved this weekend, especially if receiver Rashod Bateman (undisclosed) cannot play.
Sep 12, 2025 12:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) remains sidelined at practice on Thursday, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. It's Likely's second straight practice missed this week. He has yet to practice since having surgery to fix a fracture in his foot in late July and missed the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. The 25-year-old has one more day to get on the practice field on Friday, but as of right now, he's looking doubtful to make his 2025 debut on Sunday in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. Mark Andrews caught his only target for five yards on Sunday despite Baltimore putting up 40 points on offense. It doesn't make him extremely attractive in Week 2 for fantasy managers, but we'd expect him to have a bigger role if Likely misses another game, as expected.
Sep 11, 2025 3:11 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was seen working with a trainer on a side field on Wednesday, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. It means that Likely still isn't practicing after missing the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. The 25-year-old didn't practice at all last week and was fully expected to miss time early in the 2025 campaign. While the Ravens expect him back sooner rather than later, fantasy managers should not expect him to be active this Sunday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. It means that veteran Mark Andrews will have a higher ceiling once again in Week 2 as a must-start TE1, even though he only had one reception on one target for a five-yard gain in the 41-40 loss in the season opener.
Sep 10, 2025 3:05 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (ankle) was ruled out for the season opener against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. As expected, Likely won't take the field after failing to practice this week. It sounds like he has been doing some work on the side, but isn't ready for game action yet. That being said, it's possible that Likely misses more than just the season opener. Mark Andrews will be the primary option at tight end with Charlie Kolar seeing increased usage with Likely out. Fantasy managers will need to check back next week for another update on Likely. The absence of Likely does slightly increase the fantasy value of Andrews for the season opener.
Sep 5, 2025 4:53 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) missed practice again on Thursday, putting his Week 1 availability in serious doubt. The 25-year-old has not practiced since undergoing foot surgery on August 1, and it appears unlikely he will be ready for the opener. Likely carved out a meaningful role in 2024, appearing in 16 games (nine starts) and recording 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns. The expectation entering this season was that Likely would continue to complement star tight end Mark Andrews, but his absence to start the year should consolidate targets for Andrews in Baltimore's passing game. Fantasy managers should confidently deploy Andrews as a TE1, while Likely profiles more as a stash option who could regain relevance once healthy and gradually work back into a secondary role in the Ravens' offense.
Sep 4, 2025 2:41 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was not seen practicing on Wednesday with the rest of the team, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Likely was on the field early and was talking with head coach John Harbaugh, but then he went inside early. The 25-year-old tight end has not practiced since having surgery to fix a small fracture in his left foot that he suffered near the start of training camp at the end of July, and he's not expected to be available for Week 1 this Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. However, the Ravens are still expecting Likely to be available early in the season, which is why he avoided Injured Reserve to start the year. Likely will likely be ruled out for Week 1 on Friday, which means fellow TE Mark Andrews should be a must-start TE1 in fantasy lineups to kick things off as one of quarterback Lamar Jackson's most trusted targets.
Sep 3, 2025 3:13 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is not expected to suit up for Sunday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Likely suffered a broken bone in his foot during a non-contact drill in late July and underwent surgery shortly after. The initial timeline projected a six-week recovery. Baltimore elected not to place Likely on the PUP list or injured reserve, signaling optimism that he will return early in the season. With Likely sidelined, Mark Andrews should see an uptick in opportunities. In the lone game Likely missed last season, Andrews produced six receptions on seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens will hope to have Likely back as soon as Week 2, when they host the Cleveland Browns.
Sep 3, 2025 9:09 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) was not seen at Monday's practice, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. It's not a suprise, as Likely had foot surgery on Aug. 1 and is expected to miss the start of the 2025 regular season. While the 25-year-old will not be ready to play in Sunday night's Week 1 showdown against the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens do expect him to return in the early part of the season. The fact that Baltimore didn't put Likely on Injured Reserve to begin the year means he should be back before Week 5. Likely saw an increased role alongside Mark Andrews in 2024, catching 42 passes for 477 yards and six touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (nine starts), and he has 11 TDs the last two seasons. However, the presence of Andrews limits his fantasy upside as a touchdown-dependent TE2 heading into his fourth NFL season.
Sep 1, 2025 3:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said that "we expect him back in the early part of the season," when asked about the timetable for injured tight end Isaiah Likely (foot). Likely was not placed on short-term Injured Reserve on Tuesday despite suffering a small fracture in his foot early in training camp in late July that required surgery. While it's ultimately good news for the 25-year-old, it doesn't mean that Likely is going to be ready to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Buffalo Bills. Likely's injury definitely makes veteran Mark Andrews are more intriguing midrange TE1 target in upcoming fantasy drafts. Likely had a slightly bigger role alongside Andrews in 2024 and finished with a 42-477-6 line (all career-highs) in 16 regular-season games (nine starts). Likely is a low-end TE2 worth stashing in fantasy, especially TE-premium leagues.
Aug 27, 2025 6:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) has avoided the Injured Reserve and will open the season on the team's 53-man roster. Likely underwent surgery on his foot after suffering a small fracture on July 29, but he has recovered quickly enough that he'll be available early in the season. The 25-year-old set career highs in receptions (42), yards (477), and touchdowns (six) last season, providing the Ravens a solid pass-catching option at the position behind Mark Andrews (undisclosed). While Andrews is dealing with an undisclosed injury, indications are that he'll be ready for the Ravens' Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 7. Likely may not be a sure thing for that game, but he will make his 2025 debut sometime in September.
Aug 26, 2025 9:11 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic lists Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely's (foot) status on the initial 53-man roster as one of his toughest calls in his latest roster projection. Likely underwent foot surgery in early August. Zrebiec includes Likely in his roster projection and writes that the team is projecting confidence that the tight end will be able to play in Week 1 or "shortly thereafter." If that's the case, Likely can avoid a placement on injured reserve, which would sideline him at least four weeks. Likely's presence on the field has a big impact on the fantasy outlook for fellow tight end Mark Andrews. In the lone game that Likely missed in 2024, Andrews matched his season-highs in single-game targets (seven), catches (six), and receiving yards (68).
Aug 24, 2025 11:56 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is expected to miss at least six weeks of action to repair a broken bone in his foot. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network noted that while the expectation is that the tight will miss six weeks, there is a belief that he could recover on a faster timeline. While Likely could be in danger of missing the start of the regular season, he has avoided a significant injury. The 25-year-old sustained this injury during Tuesday's practice session. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status in case this injury begins to linger. Last season, Likely enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, tallying 111 yards in the season opener. However, he would only go on to tally over 70 receiving yards in one game during the remainder of the season. When healthy, Likely will be deployed as the No. 2 tight end in Baltimore behind Mark Andrews, which will continue to limit his fantasy ceiling.
