Elite ceiling at fraction of premium TE cost; leads Giants targets early.
Andrew Erickson champions Isaiah Likely as a late-round tight end with an elite ceiling matching top-five fantasy production at a fraction of the cost of premium tight ends. Likely has been a top-five tight end in points per game when Mark Andrews missed time; John Harbaugh's decision to bring Likely from Baltimore to the Giants suggests confidence. With Malik Neighbors recovering from a torn ACL and uncertain availability, Likely is projected to lead the Giants in targets early in the season. Erickson frames Likely as the perfect late-round tight end alternative to Brock Bowers or Colston Loveland. Jake Seeley agrees, calling Likely one of his most-attacked tight ends later in the draft; if Seeley doesn't secure one of the top four or five tight ends, Likely is one of his most targeted tight ends in later rounds.
