PositiveRoleSep 19, 2026
Isaiah Likely is operating in a surprisingly strong and "pretty sick" role, exceeding pre-season expectations for his usage.NegativeValueSep 1, 2026
The source considers Isaiah Likely a poor draft pick at his current price, explicitly stating they would prefer to draft Terrance Ferguson over him. The source notes that Ferguson is being drafted roughly three rounds after Likely, yet offers a similar play.PositiveValueAug 27, 2026
The source views Isaiah Likely as a superior value pick compared to Terrence Ferguson, noting that Likely is drafted three rounds later.NegativeProjectionAug 25, 2026
The source is skeptical of the bull case for Isaiah Likely, noting that he has not been a good fantasy pick historically even when playing with Lamar Jackson and that he is not expected to be an every-route player. He is used as a benchmark for limited route participation, suggesting that even if a tight end earns targets at a high rate, his overall fantasy utility remains questionable.NegativeValueDec 11, 2025
Isaiah Likely's early-season performance—outperforming Mark Andrews in week 1—created a narrative shift that led to massive draft value inflation; he was drafted in the second round of FFPC drafts the following year, illustrating how a single strong game can dramatically alter draft expectations and market perception despite not sustaining that level of production.PositiveValueOct 24, 2025
Priced at $2,600 on DraftKings coming off 85% route participation in a favorable game environment; the source views him as a viable punt play at tight end. Despite only peaking at 9% target share despite high route volume (compared to Mark Andrews at 73% route participation in 12-personnel sets), the source notes that even if Likely doesn't hit, 'I don't know if it if it kills you' given the chalk is Schultz and five points from Likely might be acceptable in this wide-open tight end week.
