Outlook Isaiah Likely
Isaiah Likely at Philadelphia — High-Volume Weapon in Divisional Showdown
Likely enters Week 9 completely healthy and entrenched as New York's starting tight end and top safety valve for J.J. McCarthy. He has already racked up 41 receptions and five touchdowns in seven games with the Giants, serving as a primary pass catcher alongside Malik Nabers. With running backs Cam Skattebo doubtful and Tyrone Tracy sidelined, New York will continue to lean on Likely across the middle.
Our weekly projection forecasts Likely for 11.9 fantasy points on roughly 6.5 targets and 48 receiving yards with a solid 0.5 touchdown probability. Currently started in 77% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats against a struggling Eagles team that has dropped six straight.

Outlook Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams vs. Rams — Elevated Opportunity Beckons in Shorthanded Offense
Washington officially ruled out wideouts Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks for Sunday, opening up a substantial boost in playing time for Williams alongside Stefon Diggs. Fresh off hauling in five of seven targets for 54 yards in his last outing, the dynamic rookie receiver is well positioned to run plenty of routes in three-wide sets against Los Angeles.
With the Commanders entering as 4.5-point underdogs in a projected high-scoring 48-point game environment, game script should favor throwing the ball. Our weekly projection lands Williams at 3.5 catches for 42 receiving yards (9.3 fantasy points), making him an intriguing flex streaming option as fantasy managers steadily elevate his roster rate to 46%.
