NFL Sleeper Picks: Isaiah Likely Poised for Breakout Game Against Bills

BALTIMORE, Md. — As the NFL season heats up, fantasy football enthusiasts are turning to Sleeper Picks, a daily fantasy sports app, to make their weekly NFL predictions. Warren Sharp, a renowned betting analyst, is offering expert insights to help fans maximize their winnings. This week, all eyes are on Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely, who could be a game-changer in their upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

In last week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Likely emerged as a key target for the Ravens, securing 21% of the team’s targets in the absence of No. 1 wide receiver Zay Flowers. He finished with 3 receptions for 53 yards, nearly doubling the output of the next closest receiver. Despite the Ravens’ comfortable win, Likely’s performance hinted at his potential to shine in tighter contests.

This Sunday’s game against the Bills is expected to be more competitive, potentially forcing the Ravens into more passing situations. Likely’s versatility makes him a critical asset, especially if the Bills focus on containing Baltimore’s run game led by Derrick Henry. “If they load the box to stop Henry, Likely will have opportunities to exploit the defense,” Sharp explained. “His ability to create separation and Lamar Jackson‘s scrambling threat make him a tough cover.”

In Week 4 against the Bills, Likely managed 26 receiving yards on just 2 targets, even with Flowers in the lineup. This time, with Flowers sidelined, Likely could see an expanded role. Sharp noted, “The Bills’ defense will have to choose between spying Jackson, containing Henry, or covering Likely. It’s a tough assignment, and Likely could capitalize on mismatches.”
