Footballguys on Isaiah Likely
From the article
Likely could join the group of tight ends who lead their teams in targets, especially if Nabers misses the start of the season. Despite limited usage (in Baltimore), Likely has an attractive 11.6 yards per reception (seventh best, min. 100 targets) and 5.5 yards after catch per reception (YAC/Rec).
STACKED’s take
Likely's 11.6 YPR and early Giants targets offer top-10 TE upside if Nabers misses time.
Likely is being targeted regularly by his new Giants quarterback in early training camp, especially with Malik Nabers still on the shelf. Per Jake Ciely of The Athletic, Likely could join the group of tight ends who lead their teams in targets, particularly if Nabers misses the start of the season. Despite limited usage in Baltimore, Likely has an attractive 11.6 yards per reception (seventh best, min. 100 targets) and 5.5 yards after catch per reception, ahead of Dalton Kincaid, Sam LaPorta, Brock Bowers, and many others. While there are no guarantees with Likely on the Giants, he offers significant upside for a tight end taken outside the top-10 at the position.
