Isaiah Likely landing spots: Could the Ravens TE become Travis Kelce's successor in Kansas City?Does Mark Andrews' extension suggest Likely isn't long for Baltimore?
Isaiah Likely caught 5-of-6 targets for 95 yards in the Ravens' Week 13 loss to the Bengals.Likely led the Ravens in all receiving categories. He set a season-high in receiving yards and put 38 yards between himself and the team's No. 2 pass-catcher, Mark Andrews. Likely broke chunk plays seemingly at will, gashing the Bengals for gains of 43 and 30 yards in this game. All of his hard work, however, was undone by one costly mistake. On his 43-yard catch and run, Likely fought his way toward the end zone, only to cough up the ball inches short of the goal line. The ball went out of bounds in the end zone, resulting in a turnover. The Ravens didn't go away from Likely after this, but it's still a frustrating play from a player who hasn't found his stride this year. Still splitting work with Mark Andrews, Likely will be stuck in the TE2 ranks for Week 14.
Mark Andrews caught 4-of-6 targets for 47 yards in the Ravens' Week 13 loss to the Bengals.Andrew tied Isaiah Likely for second on the team in targets. The two tight ends each earned 19 percent target shares. Andrews ran more routes and was used as a check-down option, while Likely saw more downfield work, resulting in a team-high 95 yards from the explosive tight end. Neither player can be declared the team's clear TE1 and the Ravens are struggling on offense as Lamar Jackson nurses various injuries. Andrews will hold the edge in the fantasy rankings next week, though both tight ends will sit outside the top 12 options versus Pittsburgh.
