Isaiah Likely caught 9 of 11 targets for 127 yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 24-21 loss to Washington on Thursday night. He posted 23.2 half-PPR points, his highest total of the season.

The performance came in a soft matchup, with Washington having allowed 16.0 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 2nd most of 32. Likely's Roundup Score of 80 out of 99 ranks 4th amongst tight ends, and our models project 10.3 half-PPR points a game he plays going forward. He remains a hold at the position with his next game in Week 11 against Jacksonville.

Isaiah Likely

Likely's 9 catches for 127 yards and one touchdown on 11 targets represented a significant spike from his previous 8 games, when he averaged 5.8 catches for 56 yards on 8.6 targets a game and 13.2 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he averaged 5.3 catches for 64 yards on 7.0 targets a game and 13.1 half-PPR points. His opportunity score of 90 out of 99 ranks 3rd of 112 tight ends, with his receiving score of 86 ranking 4th.

The numbers came without more targets, carries or snaps than usual, so treat it as one game until the role changes. Likely is scoring 1.8 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts, so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. Over his last three games his weighted opportunity rating averaged 0.34, ranking 17th of 113 tight ends. Full-PPR managers can add another half-point to each half-PPR total; standard scorers should subtract the catches.

What to do

• Hold Likely as a TE1 with his opportunity score ranking 3rd amongst tight ends.

• Start him in Week 11 against Jacksonville with his projected 10.3 half-PPR points a game.

• Temper expectations slightly, as he is scoring above what his usage predicts.
