Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should put him on track to return for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. Likely isn't a viable fantasy starter, but his return knocks Mark Andrews from top-5 TE to low-end TE1.
The Texans can't stop establishing the run, Mark Andrews is back, and 30 other fantasy football facts you need to know for Week 11.
Likely missed all three practices last week before being ruled out on Friday. He was presumably limited for today's practice, but it's a big step in the right direction. Likely had fallen into the TE2 depths before missing Week 10 and will be a weak fantasy option if active for Week 11. His presence would, however, limit Mark Andrews' routes. Andrews was on the field for nearly every Baltimore passing play last week for the first time this season.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely's absence in Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals put TE Mark Andrews back in a full-time role. He played 87% of Baltimore's offensive snaps and ran a route on 94% of pass plays -- both easily season highs. Andrews capitalized on the opportunity, catching six of seven targets for 68 yards and a score. The targets, catches, and yards all ranked top two on the team. Andrews' TD came on a route that QB Lamar Jackson said afterward was improvised. It looked like Andrews was supposed to run a shallow cross but instead turned it upfield to break free for an 18-yard score.
Andrews hauled in six of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
