Should You Wait on Isaiah Likely Until Monday Night?

If Likely is sitting in your flex spot, the scheduling question matters as much as the projection itself.

📅 The timeline

Likely’s Giants take on the Rams on Monday night — the final game of the Week 2 slate. NFL.com’s predictions column projects Likely to add more receiving touchdowns in that game. That means his outcome won’t be known until after every other Sunday game has already been played and scored.

What that means for your flex decision

• If you have other options that play Sunday, you can safely lock those decisions first and revisit Likely’s roster spot last, since his game genuinely comes after everyone else’s.
• If Likely is your only flex-caliber option, you’re not risking a locked lineup by waiting — his game simply hasn’t kicked off yet when Sunday’s other matchups do.
• The prediction itself is not a guarantee. It’s an analyst’s projection of added receiving touchdowns, not a confirmed result, so treat it as one input rather than a certainty going into Monday.

Bottom line

Yes — because Likely’s game is Monday night, there’s no need to rush that decision alongside your Sunday lineup calls. Just make sure to check for any pregame news (inactives, role changes) closer to Monday’s kickoff, since that could shift the picture from what’s projected here.
