Isaiah Likely Still a Must Start in Week 7 Despite QB Change

Friday, October 23, 6:41 PM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely has had a career season through six games, solidifying his status as an elite fantasy tight end. He has hauled in 39 of 59 targets for 383 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 15.0 half-PPR fantasy points per game. After signing with the Giants in free agency, many hoped he would finally break out after leaving the crowded Baltimore Ravens tight end room. Through six games, Likely leads all tight ends in yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points. Now he faces a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. While the tough matchup and the new quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, who is now starting, add some risk, Likely remains a must-start tight end in Week 7.

Malik Nabers Looks to Extend Hot Streak Against Texans

Friday, October 23, 6:36 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been on a tear lately and appears fully healthy entering Week 7. Over the past three weeks, Nabers has caught 29 of 42 targets for 398 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 22.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game. While the Giants are switching from Jameis Winston to J.J. McCarthy, Nabers continued to succeed with the former Vikings first-round pick, totaling four receptions for 95 yards in the fourth quarter. The quarterback change could end Nabers' hot streak and add risk, but it may not matter for the star receiver, who has been a volume machine. He faces the Houston Texans in Week 7, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Fantasy managers can still fire up Nabers as a solidified WR1, though he carries more risk if McCarthy struggles in his first start.
