James Mitchell Won't Play Versus Rams

Friday, January 12, 9:37 PM

Detroit Lions tight end James Mitchell (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's Wild-Card matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Mitchell was limited in practice on Thursday, but ended up missing Friday's session. The Lions have decided to rule him out for this contest, which normally doesn't mean too much. However, Sam LaPorta (knee) has been banged up, but he was able to get through a full practice on Friday. Fellow tight end Brock Wright appears ready to play, so the absence of Mitchell won't make much of an impact.

Isaiah Likely A Low End Option Against Steelers

Thursday, January 9, 10:43 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely displayed some pretty big flashes of fantasy relevance throughout the regular season. Moving into the Wild Card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he'll benefit from Zay Flowers (knee) being ruled out. The last time the Ravens took on the Steelers, Likely found the end zone with three receptions for 29 yards. He doesn't automatically become a must-start because Mark Andrews is still the number-one option while Rashod Bateman presents a deep threat. Likely should be more involved, but has a lower floor for fantasy managers looking to deploy him in DFS lineups.
