STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Likely's 28.7% target share and 51 targets make him TE1 over all but Bowers.

Colson Loveland takes Isaiah Likely over all tight ends except Brock Bowers based on insane target volume: 28.7% target share, 51 targets (second only to Trey McBride), nine fewer receptions but 39 more yards, averaging three more yards per reception, generating four more plays of 20+ yards and one more touchdown than McBride; weeks two to seven only McBride has more targets; Loveland trusts the situation and volume, noting JJ McCarthy is better at football than Carson Beck or Gardner Minshew, so the target volume should remain sticky.
