Yahoo Fantasy Football on Isaiah Likely
From the article
Isaiah Likely opened the season with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets. More importantly, he commanded a 27.6% target share, four red-zone targets and a 31.8% first-read share. The Rams were very good against tight ends last season, so I'm not going to ignore that. But this defense already looks different.
STACKED’s take
Likely's 27.6% target share and red-zone role exploit Rams' weak secondary and linebacker injuries.
Likely opened the season with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets, commanding a 27.6% target share, four red-zone targets, and a 31.8% first-read share. Despite a 50% snap share, he functions as a receiver when on the field in the Giants' heavier personnel packages. The Rams allowed the sixth-highest passing success rate in Week 1 with one of the league's lowest pressure rates, and are now without Myles Garrett with injury questions at linebacker and safety—areas where Likely can create problems. The source projects Likely at TE2 with a 58% chance to score more than 11 fantasy points and 23% Boom probability, significantly above Yahoo and ECR's TE8 ranking.
