On any other team, Likely would be a star tight end. But unfortunately, Likely plays in Baltimore, and he's the second-best tight end on his team behind Mark Andrews. As a result, Likely is only worth a late-round flier in the majority of leagues. In 2023, with Andrews missing the final six games of the regular season with an ankle injury, Likely stepped up and scored at least 11.1 PPR points in four of five games, including three outings with at least 18 PPR points. Now, the hope for Likely this season is he did enough to earn more targets, even in a secondary role, with Baltimore employing more two tight-end sets. But even if that happens it's hard to count on Likely being a consistent Fantasy option. There's plenty of upside for Likely if given a bigger role with Andrews healthy, but most likely Likely won't do much if Andrews is 100 percent all season. Likely is someone to monitor in training camp to see how the Ravens use him.
As Likely enters his third pro season, his fantasy ceiling is tied to the health of teammate Mark Andrews. In the six games Likely started last season, with Andrews out (ankle), he averaged 13.9 PPG from Weeks 12-18, including three games of 18 or more points. However, in the games with Andrews on the field (Weeks 1-11), Likely averaged only 1.6 PPG. He has the ability to uncover and he's slippery after the catch, but as long as Andrews is in the mix, Likely simply doesn't carry enough fantasy value to be drafted.
