Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely

Saturday, November 25, 6:17 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. That means, the superstar tight end will miss at least the next four games. Andrews is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a cracked fibula and ankle ligament damage. There's a small chance he returns late in the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up. In the meantime, Isaiah Likely should see more snaps as the primary tight end. Also, wide receivers Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. will likely have more targets coming their way with Andrews unavailable going forward.

The Baltimore Ravens are likely going to be without tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) for the rest of the season, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the team isn't expected to change their game plan or playbook and expect Isaiah Likely to be able to run the same plays as Andrews did as their primary pass-catching tight end. The second-year tight end has a big opportunity for the rest of the season in a high-scoring Ravens offense, although quarterback Lamar Jackson could focus more on targeting receivers Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman more in the passing attack. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider Likely a TE1/2 streaming option, but he's certainly not going to put up numbers anywhere close to Andrews', so temper expectations.
