2023 Fantasy Outlook
Backup tight ends generally don’t generate much buzz, but Likely quickly became an exception as a rookie last summer with 12 catches for 144 yards the first two weeks of the preseason. Once games counted, the fourth-round pick was mostly stuck behind star TE Mark Andrews but then thrived when he got extra playing time. Andrews played only 10 snaps Week 8 and sat out entirely Weeks 9 and 18; in those three games, Likely caught 15 of 25 targets for 204 yards and two touchdowns. In his other 13 games, he had 21-169-1 on 35 targets. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end now faces tougher snap/target competition from an upgraded group of wideouts, but new OC Todd Monken may nonetheless make two-TE sets a big part of his offense, especially if rookie WR Zay Flowers is slow to develop or Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman struggle with injuries again.

Arrow pointing up after Year 2
Likely finished his second NFL season with 30 catches for 411 yards and five touchdowns on 40 targets over 17 regular-season games. He added four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown in two postseason games.
ANALYSIS
Though the tight end's target count dropped from 60 to 40, with most of his looks coming during Mark Andrews' lengthy absence, his counting stats and efficiency both ticked up significantly. Likely bumped his catch rate from 60 percent to 75 and his yards per target from 6.2 to 10.3 while topping his rookie totals for receiving yards and touchdowns. Though Andrews is still a major factor in the Ravens' passing game when healthy, Likely is overqualified to be a traditional No. 2 tight end. Baltimore's wide receiver corps is still a work in progress beyond Zay Flowers, however, so there could be more opportunities for the TEs. Likely has downfield ability and plenty of experience working from the slot (231 of 567 snaps in 2023) so his role could expand during his second year in OC Todd Monken's scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To see Andrews return Sunday
Likely will see position mate Mark Andrews return to the field in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs after the latter was activated from injured reserve Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Likely has done an admirable job filling in since his star teammate went down with a serious ankle injury Nov. 16, but he'll be sharing snaps with Andrews again come Sunday. However, with Andrews potentially operating under some sort of snap limit, Likely could still enjoy a bigger role than he did as the No. 2 option earlier in the season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Tight ends are a major factor in Baltimore's offense, so Likely landing in the Charm City instantly puts him on the fantasy radar. Mark Andrews is the top option in the passing game and that isn't changing anytime soon. But there is still room for a second tight end to get in on the rotation for targets and Baltimore's offseason decisions with the receiving corps only strengthen that notion. Likely has an interesting profile in his own right, too. He averaged 11.69 YPT over 78 targets and scored 12 touchdowns in his final season at Coastal Carolina. His combine metrics kept him from being drafted higher and his frame (6-5, 245) could be an issue as it relates to blocking NFL edge rushers and linebackers. There's added competition with fellow rookie Charlie Kolar to consider, too. It may take until midseason for one of either Likely or Kolar to emerge as a secondary tight end target behind Andrews, but there's reason to believe one of these rookies can have a role in Baltimore's passing game this year.
