Baltimore Ravens tight-end Isaiah Likely will have to fill in for pro-bowl tight-end Mark Andrews the remainder of the season. At age 23, Likely has the youth, skill, and size to keep the functions of the Ravens offense fully optimized.
Andrews ranked No. 8 in receiving touchdowns before his season ending injury in week 11. Now that he’s out, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. may receive more targets. Ultimately, the Ravens should be focused on perfecting the Ravens rush offense that ranks No. 2 in yards per carry. Likely will be a serviceable run-blocker in this cause and does have the agile ability to get open in the pass game if needed.

Ravens tight-end coach George Godsey will look to have Likely ready and prepared for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. For now, the Ravens will ride their 8-3 season start as a point of reference to keep team morale high.
