Ravens TE Isaiah Likely limited again in Thursday practice, Week 4 availability in question

Sep 25, 2025

Ravens injury report (Thurs)
LIMITED: TE Isaiah Likely (foot), NT Travis Jones (knee)
DNP: FB Patrick Ricard (calf), LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle), OLB Kyle Van Noy (hamstring), DT Nnamdi Madubuike (hamstring), DT Broderick Washington (ankle)

Related Players: Mark Andrews

Fantasy Impact:

Zrebiec followed up this tweet with, "Ravens have spoken optimistically about Likely returning Sunday, but he's still yet to practice fully."

Likely would have been, well, a likely addition off the waiver wire had Andrews not just pulled out a classic 6-91-2 stat line after accruing seven yards through the first two weeks of the season. As it stands, Likely can probably to the TE vultures until we see more evidence that his teammate is ready to stop performing these huge "boom" weeks. Likely produced 21% of his 2024 fantasy points in Week 1 of last year and was mostly forgettable after that.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is "not close" to returning

49ers GM John Lynch told @KNBR that WR Brandon Aiyuk is “not close” to returning from the knee injury he suffered almost a year ago. There was more damage than just to the ACL, and more recovery time is required.

Related Players: Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings

Fantasy Impact:

This aligns well with Jeff Mueller's assessment that Aiyuk's most likely return would be in Week 6, but the wording suggests a potential that it may last even longer. He remains a good stash — particularly if you have an IR spot — but it still looks like we're weeks away from it changing the remaining 49ers' pass-catchers' target share.

Justin Fields will practice today, but he's still in concussion protocol.

Related Players: Tyrod Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

HC Aaron Glenn later reiterated that Fields would start if cleared before Monday, so it seems like there's a good chance he suits up for Week 4. If he's cleared before we have to set lineups on Sunday morning, we can inch him up to a low-end QB1 in what should be a pretty nice matchup.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) on track to play Week 4

Chiefs listed WR Xavier Worthy as a full participant in today’s practice, putting him on track to play Sunday against Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact:

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. If Worthy is looking close to 100% this early in the week, we should definitely consider him further up our rankings than if he weren't a full participant until Friday. Push him up into the WR2/3 range if he is completely cleared ahead of the weekend.
