Ravens 3rd year tight end Isaiah Likely has shown flashes of being a dynamic playmaker since his arrival in Baltimore in 2022.  Whenever starting TE Mark Andrews has missed time, Likely has shown the abilities that made him a 4th round pick by the Ravens.  Going into year 3, ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes the talented TE could be the second target at receiver behind Zay Flowers.  This quote by Likely alluding to his usage adds fuel to the growing flame:  “They want me to be able to go everywhere, whether it’s in the backfield, in line, in the slot, out wide or whatever…being that chess piece that can move around.”

The talent is obvious for Isaiah Likely. Whenever Mark Andrews has missed time, Likely has shown he can be a star.  This could be shaping up to be like the Patriots dual TE sets of yesteryear.  Likely has been a prime target of the “late round TE” strategists in bestball drafts throughout the offseason.  His current average draft position of TE22 near the end of the 14th round is set to pay major dividends if this quote about his usage is true.  He should be a prime trade target in any form of tight end premium scoring dynasty league.
