FantasyPros Articles on Isaiah Likely
From the article
Likely was targeted 12 times last week... Likely has a whopping 30.4% target share – highest among all tight ends... Jameis Winston has taken over at quarterback for the Giants... Winston has always been a wild stallion as a passer, never shy about throwing into tight coverage.
STACKED’s take
Likely's 30.4% target share is highest among TEs; breakout potential with Winston.
No longer in Mark Andrews' shadow in Baltimore, Likely could finally deliver the breakout season expected. He was targeted 12 times in the Giants' Week 4 victory over the Cardinals and has a whopping 30.4% target share—highest among all tight ends (Trey McBride is second at 28.3%). His 7-66-0 stat line was somewhat disappointing given the high target total, but his beefy role in the Giants' passing game could lead to big numbers. With Jameis Winston at quarterback, who has always been willing to throw into tight coverage, and the Giants' pass rate over expected at minus-9.3% (third-lowest in the league), if the Giants fall behind more frequently, Winston might cut it loose, which could mean a bonanza for Likely investors.
