From the episode

Isaiah Likely had his worst game of the season with JJ McCarthy at quarterback... Those people are wrong... he was the tight end one overall entering week seven. That's the type of ceiling we're talking about. As the Giants head into their bye week, I would capitalize and go get him while you still can.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Likely's Week 7 dud is a position reality; he remains TE1 caliber with McCarthy and a bye-week buy window.

Despite a poor Week 7 performance against the Texans (who have been solid against tight ends all year), Likely remains an elite tight end with a ceiling comparable to Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. J.J. McCarthy threw him a touchdown last week against the Saints in the fourth quarter, showing he is targeting him. McCarthy has looked surprisingly competent through a game and a quarter, and unlike most tight ends, Likely still has an elite week-to-week ceiling—he was TE1 overall entering Week 7. The Giants head into their bye, creating a buy window for managers who don't view him in the top four at the position.
