Fantasy Football Advice on Isaiah Likely
From the video
he signed a three-year $40 million contract with the Giants this off season. 26 million of that was fully guaranteed...when a team pays that much money for someone who's not a blocking tight end, they know that...he's going to have a role...he's still probably more likely to be a streaming tight end this season.
STACKED’s take
Giants paid $40M guaranteed for Likely; could be top target with Neighbors sidelined.
Signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Giants this offseason with $26 million fully guaranteed, signaling the team's commitment to him as a receiving tight end (not a blocking tight end). Highly efficient in Baltimore on a per-target basis, though maxed out at 60 targets in his rookie season. With Jackson Dart looking good in his rookie season and uncertainty around Neighbors' health and ramp-up timeline, Likely could have games where he's the top target on the team. Behind Neighbors, the receiving options are limited (Slayton, Mooney, Malachi Fields, Calvin Austin, Theo Johnson). The source likes him on two tight end builds paired with either injured upside plays (KD, Craft) or stable floor options (Dallas Scotter), though he'll likely be a streaming tight end this season given the Giants' projected passing volume and Neighbors' eventual role as top target.
