Yahoo Fantasy Football on Isaiah Likely
From the article
Isaiah Likely. And let's get this out of the way — Likely isn't really a tight end. You won't see him lining up on the end of the line and blasting linebackers on run plays. He's really more of an oversized slot receiver, and with his size/quickness combo (6'4", 240), he can be a tough cover for linebackers and safeties. Given the Giants' WR depth chart, Likely is a prime breakout candidate, and I'm here for it.
STACKED’s take
Likely's TE12 ECR undervalues breakout potential as oversized slot receiver.
Isaiah Likely is a prime breakout candidate for the Giants. He isn't really a traditional tight end but more of an oversized slot receiver with size/quickness combo (6'4", 240) that can be a tough cover for linebackers and safeties. While he has yet to put together a big season, he's still only 26 and usually stepped up when first string TE Mark Andrews missed games. Given the Giants' WR depth chart, there's opportunity for a big role on the offense. The source is here for the breakout case and thinks he'll finish as a Top-10 TE this season. His ECR of 118 (TE12) has him going alongside very good and more proven players (Andrews, Dallas Goedert, Jake Ferguson, Dalton Kincaid), and the source slightly prefers Likely to each of those guys given the upside case.
