What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Isaiah Likely (NYG TE), our TE15 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 9.2 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. 34% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. The math is unsexy and convincing: 9.2 points, 31% above what the position pays out on average. Hot heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
