Ravens Not Changing Game Plan For Isaiah Likely

Ravens Not Changing Game Plan For Isaiah Likely

12 months ago

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.
