Sometimes a change of scenery can make all the difference.
Take, for example, New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely. For four years, he was stuck in a timeshare with Mark Andrews in Baltimore. But after coach John Harbaugh was dismissed and Likely left as a free agent − only to reunite with the Giants this season − the fifth-year pro is finally having a career year.
In Week 5 vs. Washington, Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and a pair of touchdowns. And on the season, only Cardinals All-Pro Trey McBride has scored more fantasy points among tight ends.
ON BYE: Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota
