From the episode

I do believe this is more sustainable. Not 27.8, but his tight end one sustainability is more sustainable now that he is in this offense free of Mark Andrews. He clearly looked like the number two pass catcher here.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Likely is a top-five TE for Week 2 with a sustainable role as the No. 2 target.

Likely is viewed as a sustainable TE1 option following his 8-catch, 78-yard, 2-touchdown performance in Week 1. With Mark Andrews no longer the primary target, Likely is expected to function as the team's number two pass catcher, making him a top-five tight end for Week 2.
