Outlook Isaiah Likely

Isaiah Likely vs. Titans — Heavy Target Share Solidifies TE1 Status

Likely has immediately established himself as the Giants' primary tight end, commanding an eye-opening 18 targets across his first two contests. Even with rookie Jaxson Dart sidelined by a knee injury, Likely remained the focal point of the passing attack as Jameis Winston stepped in and funneled 10 targets his way last week.

Our weekly projection pegs Likely for 4.3 receptions and 47 receiving yards against Tennessee. While rainy conditions and a low projected total could dampen overall offensive explosiveness, his massive passing-game involvement makes him a strong start across almost all formats, offering both a reliable floor and red-zone upside.
