Isaiah Likely at Houston — Elite Target Volume Secures Must-Start Status
Operating as the clear top tight end and a primary focal point in the Giants' passing game alongside Malik Nabers, Likely has commanded double-digit targets in three consecutive contests. With 17 catches for 193 yards and three touchdowns over his last two games, he enters Week 7 fully healthy and firmly established as a trusted target for quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
Our weekly projection pegs Likely for 5 receptions, 50 receiving yards, and 13.0 fantasy points against a 2-4 Texans defense. With New York entering as 10-point road underdogs, game script could easily tilt toward heavy passing volume, elevating both his floor and ceiling. Given his 92% start rate and immense red-zone involvement, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as an elite TE1.

Outlook Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel vs NYG — Explosive Playmaker Looking to Sustain Recent Momentum
Noel has surged over the past two games, turning nine targets into nine catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, highlighted by an efficient 107-yard showing in Week 6. Even with Marvin Harrison Jr. entering a crowded receiving corps alongside Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Noel’s explosive playmaking keeps earning him high-leverage reps in Houston's offense.
While his recent spark has pushed his roster rate above 40%, Noel remains a rotational piece in a game where Houston enters as heavy double-digit home favorites. Our models project him for around 4.9 fantasy points on roughly two to three targets, making him a volatile deep-league flex or high-upside stash this week.
