Fantasy Points Fantasy Football on Isaiah Likely
From the video
Likely is the opposite for me. I have him much higher in full PPR than I do in half standard... Isaiah likely and he I even give him credit for it, the basketball player wiggle... Isaiah likely better than Charlie Kohler... I'm in on that situation with likely though the thing is the reason that even with the slowness I won't fade him
STACKED’s take
Higher in full PPR; beat Kolar for Ravens role; slow TE with volume upside.
JJ Zachariason ranks Isaiah Likely much higher in full PPR than half standard due to target volume potential offsetting his lack of high-end speed (48+ 40-time). Historically, only two tight ends with 48+ 40-times have finished top-5 in fantasy (Jake Ferguson with 600 yards, Heath Miller in 2012). Likely beat out Charlie Kolar (who signed for significant money) for Ravens playing time. Ravens have a pattern of the second tight end drafted outperforming the first in fantasy (4-for-4 since 2010, including Likely over Kolar). Zachariason won't fade Likely despite athleticism concerns because slow tight ends with adequate target volume can produce (Zack Ertz, Jason Whitten with 800 yards at age 38). Ravens are a double-tap team, and Likely may be the Arian Foster outlier of tight ends.
