Sell at peak hype; poor QB, target competition, and no proven production justify fade.
Dynasty sell candidate despite theoretical upside and reuniting with Harbaugh in New York. Key concerns: Theo Johnson is projected to receive 70–80% of the usage Likely gets (suggesting a 60–40 split rather than Likely dominating targets); Jackson Dart is a poor passer with efficiency in the Caleb Williams/JJ McCarthy range, limiting target quality; Malik Neighbors could carve into Likely's target share if healthy; Likely has never exceeded 470 yards in a season and has underperformed relative to his usage historically. The source notes selling the hype has a ~65% hit rate historically, and Likely's case is entirely theoretical with no proven production. A reasonable stat line would be 80 catches on 102 targets (matching Jake Ferguson's 2023), but even that would feel like a "purgatory pick" given his draft cost and hype. The source would trade Likely straight up for Jake Ferguson, who produced 102 targets and 80 catches last year while being cheaper in redraft. Alternative: Chick Conqueuo offers similar theoretical upside at cheaper cost with better quarterback situation (Jaden Daniels).

Um because he's a player that I've talked about a bull case for. He's reuniting with Harbaugh... my biggest concern is Jackson Dart's not a good passer... we have Theo Johnson getting 70 to 80% of the usage that Isaiah likely gets... I can probably get Jake Ferguson for Isaiah likely, right? Straight up... Jake Ferguson did last year and he gets 102 targets and gets 80 catches... you can get Chicka Conquo for for cheaper essentially and it's the same theoretical upside swing with a way better quarterback in Jaden Daniels.
