Likely overpriced as TE13 despite never hitting 500 yards and losing out to younger competition.

Isaiah LikelyTENYG

At 26 years old and drafted as TE13 in fantasy leagues, Likely is a fourth-rounder who has never reached 500 yards in a season; his previous team (Baltimore) extended the declining Mark Andrews (24.8 yards per game last year) over him, and the Giants have a holdover tight end (Johnson) with equivalent draft stock who outproduced him in every offensive stat last year, making his TE1 role and fantasy starter price unjustifiable.

Source transcript excerpt
he's a 26-year-old fourth-rounder who has never reached 500 yards in a season...the Ravens still extended him and let Likely hit free agency. Now in New York and still with Harbaugh, Likely is pretty widely expected to be the team's TE1 and is being drafted as the TE13 in fantasy leagues...But is he such the TE1 that he brings back borderline fantasy starter numbers? I'm definitely out at that price.
