Outlook Isaiah Likely
Poised for a Full-Time Breakout in New York's Revamped Passing Game
After spending his first four seasons behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore, Isaiah Likely steps into a full-time starting role as New York's primary tight end. Reports from training camp highlight him serving as a key safety valve for quarterback Jaxson Dart, with buzz suggesting he could operate as the secondary receiving priority behind Malik Nabers.
Likely flashed elite efficiency in limited duty with the Ravens, hauling in six touchdowns in 2024. Our season projections forecast a significant volume leap to 66 receptions, 720 yards, and five touchdowns on 90 targets, translating to 169 fantasy points in full-PPR formats.
Despite climbing to 93% rostered, Likely's draft cost has drifted backward from an ADP near 114 in mid-August down to the 150s. That late-round discount makes him an enticing value target for managers hunting starting TE upside without paying a premium.

Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
Surging Backfield Opportunity Unlocks Massive Late-Round Upside
MarShawn Lloyd suddenly finds himself in prime position to spearhead the Packers' backfield following Josh Jacobs' placement on the commissioner exempt list. Operating ahead of Chris Brooks and Kaleb Johnson, the explosive third-year back has taken first-team reps throughout late-summer practices and looks completely healthy after two injury-plagued campaigns.
While the coaching staff may monitor his volume given his lack of extended NFL action, Lloyd's dynamic pass-catching ability provides immense fantasy appeal. Our projections forecast a productive campaign featuring 150 carries for 700 rushing yards and six total touchdowns, backed by 20 receptions as Green Bay taps into his open-field elusiveness.
Fantasy managers have reacted swiftly, driving Lloyd's ADP from past pick 400 in early August all the way into the 160s. Even with his draft cost surging and roster rate eclipsing 90%, he remains an enticing late-round value who offers legitimate league-winning upside if he locks down the lead role.
