New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely just fully participated in practice on Friday, October 9, and he’s not even on the injury report for Week 5. That’s big news because the dude has been nursing a groin and knee issue, and getting him fully healthy and cleared for Sunday is a huge win for that Giants offense.
Likely’s Recent Production: No Fluke?
This isn’t just about being healthy, though. Likely has been a straight-up target hog when he’s out there. He’s snagged at least five passes in three of his four games so far this season. Think about that for a second. In his last game, Jameis Winston looked his way a whopping twelve times. When a tight end is getting that kind of volume, especially in a league where targets are gold, you know he’s making an impact.
Winston’s Go-To Guy Is Ready to Roll
What does that tell you? Likely is clearly a reliable target for Winston. It’s not rocket science. Expect him to get a ton of targets again in Week 5. For anyone paying attention to fantasy, this guy is a solid No. 2 tight end option. When your quarterback trusts you that much, especially coming off a minor injury scare, you know he’s a key piece of that offense.
So, keep an eye on Likely this coming Sunday for Week 5. With his recent target volume and now being completely off the injury report, he could be in for another big day, anchoring the Giants’ passing attack.
