Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Posts 27 yards in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Likely caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Baltimore's 41-24 win over Green Bay on Saturday.
After being blanked for zero catches in back-to-back games in Weeks 15 and 16 against the Bengals and Patriots, Likely was back involved in the offense. However, he's topped 30 receiving yards in a game just twice all season and has scored just one touchdown. Likely will be a touchdown-or-bust bet against the Steelers in next Sunday's pivotal Week 18 matchup for the AFC North title.
Likely was not targeted during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.
The fourth-year pro from Coastal Carolina has now gone without a target in each of the Ravens' last two games. In 12 contests this season, Likely has caught 22 of 31 targets for 248 yards and one touchdown. He likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Packers, especially if Lamar Jackson (back) is sidelined.
Likely was not targeted Sunday against the Bengals.
Likely's usage was surprising Sunday given that he had been playing better of late, including his five-catch, 95-yard game against the Bengals in Week 13. There were some factors working against Likely, though. Baltimore ran just 40 plays and possessed the ball for 20 minutes. Further, Lamar Jackson only attempted 12 passes as the team leaned on the ground game. Likely played 50 percent of the snaps, which is in line with his usual percentage, but he was not able to draw one of the few targets that were available Sunday. The Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.
Likely recorded four receptions on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.
Likely logged six targets for the second consecutive game, good enough for second on the team behind only Zay Flowers. While he turned in a modest yardage total, Likely caught a key four-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter -- his first score of the season. He also nearly had a second score with just under three minutes in the contest, though the play was overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. Likely has had some high-profile mistakes in the last two weeks, but he has also displayed rapport with Lamar Jackson and could be in position to close the season well.
