• Career catch rate sits around 72%—a sign of strong reliability

• Usage in red zone and downfield routes positions him for boom games

3. Health & Durability

• Played 16 games in 2024, missing one with a minor hamstring strain

• No long-term injury concerns through three NFL seasons

Headliner Take

Isaiah Likely enters 2025 as a high-efficiency, low-volume TE2 with real breakout potential. While Mark Andrews will continue to dominate targets at tight end, Likely’s consistent usage in two-TE sets and red-zone efficiency (6 TDs on just 58 targets) make him a dangerous weekly wildcard.

His weekly floor sits in the 4–6 fantasy point range, but his ceiling in the right matchup or if Andrews misses time could hit 15–20 points. He’s a valuable late-round stash or best-ball target—especially for teams that want tight end depth with upside.
