Isaiah Likely targeted 10 times in Week 2 loss

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely had five receptions (on 10 targets) for 33 yards versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2.

Why It Matters: Coming off a huge debut for the G-Men, Likely couldn’t get in sync with Jameis Winston on Monday night, corralling only half of his 10 targets for a mere 6.6 yards per catch. While it was a disappointing output, the fact that Likely had four more targets than anyone else should be seen as encouraging no matter who is the team’s quarterback in the weeks ahead. Keep Likely plugged in as your TE1.
