Isaiah Likely Fantasy Week 4 Start or Sit: Hold and Bet on the Talent
· Yahoo Sports
Arizona visits New York on Sunday with Likely seventh among tight ends in PFN’s Week 4 rankings, and his role last week was discouraging: five targets on 24 routes at a 4.0-yard average depth of target, down from 18 targets on 52 routes at 6.8 through the first two weeks. The G-Men then dealt a fifth-round pick in April for JJ McCarthy, which didn’t help a player I have a lot of exposure to. Still, McCarthy’s knock last season was feeding Justin Jefferson efficiently, not his tight end usage (74.5% complete with four touchdowns on 43 targets to the position), and I don’t trust anyone else in this passing attack. I’m buying the player to elevate over the situation.

Should You Start or Sit Isaiah Likely in Week 4?
I was discouraged by Likely’s role/target tree last week, and the G-Men dealing a fifth-round pick in April for JJ McCarthy on Monday didn’t exactly fill me with confidence for a TE that I have a lot of exposure to.

I’m still buying the player to elevate over the situation for now. I don’t trust any other member of this passing attack, and the knock on McCarthy last season was regarding his inability to feed Justin Jefferson efficient targets, not his TE usage.
- McCarthy to Jefferson: 52.6% complete with two touchdowns on 76 targets
- McCarthy to TEs: 74.5% complete with four touchdowns on 43 targets
