Concluding the Giants training camp held in West Virginia, Jordan Raanan of ESPN named Isaiah Likely one of the teams’ standouts. He called Likely "Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target."

Giants beat writer Dan Duggan called TE Isaiah Likely "the most consistent offensive player" on the team. "[I'd] be very surprised if he's not a very reliable option," Duggan added.

The Giants are expected to sign TE Isaiah Likely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he's getting a three-year deal worth $40 million, "with upside to $47.5M." Likely spent his first four seasons with the Ravens after arriving as a fourth-round pick in 2022. This is his first shot at free agency.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. QB Tyler Huntley gets the start in his place. Huntley's rushing ability makes him a low-end option in superflex leagues, but he's a significant downgrade for the passing game. WR Zay Flowers is the only viable fantasy starter among Ravens pass catchers.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday night's game vs. the Packers. He didn't practice all week and is a long shot to play in this one. Jackson's absence will put QB Tyler Huntley back under center for Baltimore. He threw for 186 yards and a score and ran for 53 yards in a Week 8 start against the Bears, finishing QB16 in fantasy points. He's a viable play in 2-QB and superflex leagues thanks to his rushing ability. But Huntley is a significant downgrade for Baltimore's pass catchers.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a glute issue. We'll see if Andrews practices tomorrow and then how he's listed on the final injury report. He has a dream matchup vs. the Bengals on Sunday. Andrews' absence would turn Isaiah Likely into a top-5 fantasy play.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a three-year, $39.3 million extension with Mark Andrews. The deal includes $26 million fully guaranteed and keeps Andrews in Baltimore through 2028.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had his third awful fantasy performance in a row going 17-32 for 246 yards and no TDs. On the ground, Jackson only ran six times for 27 yards. He threw one INT and lost two more fumbles in the game. It is the first time in Jackson’s career that he has gone three straight games without a passing TD. His previous two contests ended as QB25 and QB29. He certainly won’t reach the top 24 QBs this week either.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (calf) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited on Thursday and a full participant on Friday after missing Wednesday’s practice. Likely should be ready for his usual role this weekend. The floor is low, but Likely packs some upside with the Ravens implied for 29 points against the Jets.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (calf) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Jets this weekend, but we'll see how Likely is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any additional info on the calf injury. We'll see if Likely gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence vs. the Jets this weekend would be a slight boost to TE Mark Andrews' fantasy value.

The forecast for today's Ravens-Browns game calls for sustained winds around 25 mph with gusts between 30-35 mph. That figures to impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. Hopefully you weren't relying too heavily on Cleveland's passing game here, although TEs Harold Fannin and David Njoku could be ok as short-range targets. We're downgrading Baltimore's passing game, but QB Lamar Jackson, WR Zay Flowers, and TE Mark Andrews remain fine fantasy starts. Avoid the kickers in this game. The over/under has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 38.5.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught the team's only TD pass in Sunday's win over the Vikings. That was one of his 3 receptions for a mere 14 yards among five targets on a difficult passing day for Baltimore. Andrews matched TE Isaiah Likely at five targets. Likely caught two of his for 17 yards.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will "likely" miss Sunday's game vs. the Texans and could be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, according to The Baltimore Sun's Brian Wacker. The Ravens have a Week 7 bye, so Week 8 has felt like a realistic return target for Jackson since he went down. We'll keep you updated on his status, but fantasy managers need to be making other plans for the next couple of weeks. Jackson's absence would leave QB Cooper Rush under center for games against Houston and the Rams. Rush has made 14 career starts -- all for the Cowboys -- and sports a 60.9% completion rate at 6.3 yards per attempt.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. His role in his 2025 debut is uncertain, making Likely a high-risk Week 4 fantasy play.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Likely is listed as questionable, but he practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. There's still a chance that his snaps are scaled back in his 2025 debut, so try to not use Likely in Week 4 fantasy lineups. He is, however, worth stashing on benches in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. Likely can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut, but he does add some downside to TE Mark Andrews’ outlook.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Lions. He put in three limited practices this week but evidently isn't ready for game action yet. We'll tentatively expect Likely back for Week 4 and keep an eye on his progress this coming week. His absence should mean plenty of snaps again for TE Mark Andrews, who has been nearly invisible through two games.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice. We're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Lions on Monday night but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days. Likely would not be a bankable fantasy play in his 2025 debut, although he could quickly become one with TE Mark Andrews off to a slow start.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, putting a Week 3 return on the table. TE Mark Andrews bombed in the box score in the opener, but he registered a solid 73% route rate. He has obvious bounce-back potential against Cleveland on Sunday.
