Isaiah Likely Shines With Two Touchdowns Against Cowboys

Monday, September 14, 6:43 AM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely hauled in all eight targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Likely was the team's leading receiver throughout training camp, and he lived up to the hype in Week 1. Of his eight catches, four came on third down. Despite playing only 49% of the snaps in Week 1, he looks primed for a key role in the passing game this season. With quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants offense looking sharp in Week 1, Likely should continue to see valuable opportunities in the passing game. He faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, where Likely should be considered a mid-TE1 despite the limited snap share.

Brock Bowers Now Considered Day-to-Day

Monday, September 14, 12:02 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is now considered day-to-day after undergoing a meniscus trim last week, according to Adam Schefter. Head coach Klint Kubiak gave the update Monday, which is another good sign after Bowers missed Sunday's opener against Miami. Schefter reported over the weekend that the Raiders believed Bowers had a realistic chance to return in Week 2, but he still has work to do before that happens. Bowers did not practice at all last week before being ruled out. The Raiders visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, so his participation over the next few days should give fantasy managers a much better idea of where things stand. Michael Mayer handled the larger role in Bowers' absence and caught six of seven targets for 32 yards. He remains the fallback option if Bowers needs another week, but the day-to-day label keeps a Week 2 return firmly in play.
