BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Isaiah Likely got a big chance to start in the Ravens' first game of the 2023 NFL season due to Mark Andrews' injury, but unfortunately he could only muster up a single catch for four yards in Baltimore's big win against Houston.
Andrews returned and Likely only recorded eight more catches for 85 yards and failed to score a touchdown until now. Unfortunately for the Ravens, Andrews suffered a major injury against the Bengals that ended his regular season, so Likely is going to get his second chance.

The Ravens are looking like legitimate Super Bowl contenders right now, so the pressure is on Likely to not mess up. His biggest strength is his run-blocking, but he has to have some games like the 2022 season finale where he racked up 103 yards against Cincinnati for the Ravens to keep their Super Bowl dreams alive.
Likely's immediate schedule is very appealing as well and it will make it easier to prove himself. He will face the Chargers (third in the most PPR points per game allowed to TEs), the Rams (11th), and the Jaguars (10th), so taking a chance on him would not be a bad move.
