Isaiah Likely to be More Involved in Second Game Back from Injury?

Saturday, October 4, 2:36 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely did not see a target in Week 4, his first game of 2025 after undergoing foot surgery in August. Likely is expected to split playing time this season with fellow Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, who has recorded 13 catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games. On the bright side, Likely played just five fewer snaps (25) than Andrews (30) in the first game where they were both active. Still, Likely cannot be trusted by fantasy managers in a tough Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans until he proves he is fully healthy and re-incorporated into the offense.

Brenton Strange News

Jaguars Place Brenton Strange on Injured Reserve on Tuesday

Tuesday, October 7, 5:05 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed tight end Brenton Strange (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Strange will now miss at least the next four games due to a quad injury that he picked up in Monday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. The 24-year-old is believed to have avoided a season-ending injury, and the team thinks he'll be able to return in around a month. He caught his only target on Monday night for a 22-yard gain before departing. Over his first five games in 2025, Strange has 20 catches on 24 targets for 204 yards and no touchdowns in his third year in the league. Surprisingly, he leads the Jags with 20 receptions. With Strange sidelined at least four games, Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long will both have bigger roles at TE. The earliest Strange will be eligible to return will be in Week 11 on Nov. 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
