Ray Garvin projects Isaiah Likely as a breakout candidate who finally has a tight-end room to himself after being boxed out by Mark Andrews in Baltimore and flashing in games Andrews missed. Now with John Harbaugh in New York, Likely is positioned as the number-one target for the Giants to start the season, assuming Malik Nabers misses 4–6 games. Harbaugh's stated goal for Likely was All-Pro status, and the supporting cast—Theo Johnson, Patrick Ricard, Malachi Fields—are lesser threats that will funnel targets through him. Even if Nabers returns, Likely is the best bet to be the number-two target on the team, giving him a very fast start if Nabers misses six games.

we've been waiting forever for Isaiah Likely to have a tight end room all to himself. He's been boxed out by Mark Andrews in multiple seasons and flashed in games Andrews missed. Now, he follows John Harbaugh over to New York. And without Malik Nabers on the field, to me this feels like it's going to be the number one target on on New York Giants to start out the season.
