STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Likely's Giants deal makes him clear starter; 2024 efficiency metrics support TE1 upside.

Looking back to 2024, Likely ranked 17th in target per route run rate, tenth in yards per route run, eighth in first downs per route run, and eighth in fantasy points per route run among 57 qualifying tight ends. After signing a lucrative deal with the Giants this offseason, Likely should be their clear starting tight end and a strong part of their passing game, with only Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin, and Malachi Fields to contend with for targets behind Malik Nabers. The source projects Likely could easily be a solid TE1 in 2026 and is worth a late-round dart.
