Outlook Isaiah Likely

Isaiah Likely vs. Cardinals — Target Volume Keeps Floor Sturdy at Home

Operating as New York's top tight end, Likely continues to adjust to Jameis Winston under center following Jaxson Dart's knee injury. While efficiency dipped over his past two outings with only 46 yards on 15 targets, his role as an every-down pass catcher ensures steady weekly volume.

Our weekly projection models 4.2 receptions for 47 yards (11.4 fantasy points), giving him plenty of appeal against Arizona. Currently rostered in 98% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a regular starter who carries legitimate red-zone touchdown upside.
