Likely's 6-target opportunity in Nagy's offense at pick 100 is a steal.

Dave identifies Isaiah Likely as a breakout candidate as the number-two target getter in New York; even with Malik Nabers ready to start the season, there will be enough targets for Likely to average around 6 per game—something he didn't have the opportunity to do in Baltimore. Likely has an elite athletic profile and is a mismatch problem; Matt Nagy has a history of leaning on his tight end (Travis Kelsey in Kansas City, Trey Burton in Chicago). Jackson Dart had a 22.8% target rate to tight ends last year, which is below average and could increase. Likely has 9 career games with 6+ targets, averaging 12.5 PPR points in 8 of 9 and 14.8 in 6 of 9. He's going around pick 100 overall, which Dave calls a steal.

I like the idea of Isaiah likely as the number two target getter in New York and someone who would obviously get a lot of work if Malik neighbors weren't ready to start the season.
