Likely's 10.7 FPPG without Andrews and Harbaugh's arrival position him as backend TE1 breakout.
Likely's numbers jumped significantly without Mark Andrews on the field: route percentage (38.4% to 71.0%), team target percentage (7.9% to 16.3%), yards per reception (10.5 to 12.6), yards per route run (1.18 to 1.70), YAC per reception (4.9 to 6.0), and FPPG (5.2 to 10.7). He 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, and Brock Bowers. The source gives a 'yes' vote on Likely as a 2026 breakout TE candidate, though projects him as a 'backend TE1'; head coach John Harbaugh brought Likely with him from Baltimore (similar to Daboll with Robinson in Tennessee), suggesting Likely will get his breakout opportunity as the clear No. 1 tight end for the Giants, no longer competing with Mark Andrews.
