40M+ contract, no competition, excels on scrambles with Dart at QB
Isaiah LikelyTENYG
JJ Zachariason views Isaiah Likely as a late-round tight end value play with significant upside; he secured a 40M+ contract (one of only six tight ends at that tier), faces minimal competition with Malik Neighbors avoiding the PUP list and Darno Mooney/Malachi Fields not posing major threats, and has explicit backing from head coach John Harbaugh. Likely will put up bigger numbers now that he's no longer surrounded by Mark Andrews and Charlie Kohler, and despite never having a true full-time role, his contract upgrade and lack of competition justify expecting one now. He excels at getting open on scramble drills, which aligns perfectly with Jackson Dart's best skill—running around and making something out of nothing.
