At the top of round nine, Likely is a fine upside click for drafters who want to load up on the other positions early. This time next year, he could be valued as a top-eight or so asset at his position.

Giants' Likely at 108 ADP could be top-8 TE with Nabers sidelined.

At 108 ADP in round nine, Likely is a fine upside click for dynasty drafts. He signed a three-year, $40-million deal with the Giants after the Ravens let him walk, stepping into a lead tight end role over Theo Johnson. Despite career lows in targets (37), receptions (27), yards (307), and touchdowns (one) in 2025 due to an early-season sprained ankle, Likely is one of the best separators at the position, finishing 5th and 6th among all tight ends in target separation over the past two seasons. With Malik Nabers recovering from an ACL tear, quarterback Jaxson Dart is expected to look Likely's way early and often, similar to how he targeted Wan'Dale Robinson. The source projects Likely could be valued as a top-eight tight end asset this time next year.
