Isaiah Likely vs. Saints — High-Volume Momentum Cements Must-Start Status

Likely has quickly established himself as a focal point in New York's passing attack alongside Malik Nabers. Operating as the clear lead tight end, he enters Week 6 with immense momentum after hauling in 11 of 13 targets for 94 yards and two scores from Jameis Winston last week.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection expects roughly 5 receptions for 49 yards and half a touchdown (12.7 fantasy points) against New Orleans. With his start rate surging near 89%, Likely provides rare target volume and legitimate TE1 upside.

Outlook Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard at Tampa Bay — Surging Target Share Creates Flex Appeal

Bernard steps into an elevated role in Pittsburgh's passing attack with Michael Pittman Jr. sidelined on injured reserve and Roman Wilson doubtful. The rookie built instant trust with Aaron Rodgers, commanding nine targets and converting them into six catches for 80 yards in Week 5 to prompt a dramatic leap in fantasy rostership.

Our weekly projections slate Bernard for roughly 3.5 receptions and 40 yards (9.0 fantasy points) in Tampa Bay. While a modest projected scoring total caps ceiling expectations, his secure snaps alongside DK Metcalf establish him as a viable flex option.
