From the episode

I think having James Cook wins your league. I know that having Isaiah likely is obviously it's such a differentiator at the tight end spot.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Likely is a tight end differentiator but Cook's RB scarcity makes him the better trade target.

James Winston acknowledges Isaiah Likely as a significant differentiator at tight end; while Likely is valuable, Winston still prefers acquiring James Cook in a trade because top-five running backs are rarer than elite tight ends who can be streamed. Likely is on bye next week alongside Jalen Warren.
