Yahoo Sports NFL on Isaiah Likely

Likely's $40M deal paying off as Dart's favorite target after Nabers in Week 1.

Likely signed a three-year, $40 million deal with the Giants and immediately established himself as a de facto wide receiver in the offense. In Week 1 against Dallas, he was Jaxson Dart's favorite target not named Malik Nabers, operating as a receiver despite his tight end designation. The Giants regularly used two-back and two-tight end sets that freed Likely to function as a receiver given his receiver's build and skill set, with Theo Johnson and Chris Manhertz handling blocking duties.
