Isaiah Likely Expected To Play Significant Snaps
2 years agoBaltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely has been a revelation in training camp this summer, and he has quickly emerged as a popular target for quarterback Lamar Jackson as a pass-catching complement to starter Mark Andrews. Likely won't have Andrews' volume, but with fellow rookie tight end Charlie Kolar (hernia) expected to miss the start of the season and with Baltimore short on receivers, Likely figures to play significant offensive snaps early on in his rookie season. The 22-year-old caught all eight of his targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, showcasing his talents. The fourth-rounder will be a nice dynasty/keeper target, but he should be ignored in redraft leagues as the likely No. 3 behind Andrews and veteran Nick Boyle.
