From the article

Over his four-year career, Likely has averaged 11.6 yards per catch and scored 15 touchdowns. Only one tight end over that span has more touchdowns and a higher yards-per-reception average ... and his name is George Kittle. Take that efficiency and red-zone prowess, ratchet the targets up from the 50-60 range to the 80-90 range, and you have the perfect recipe for a tight end breakout.

Likely's elite efficiency and increased target opportunity make him TE13 ADP breakout value.

Likely was signed by John Harbaugh's Giants in March after never getting an extended chance to be the starter in Baltimore, where Mark Andrews blocked him from a proper fantasy breakout. Over his four-year career, Likely has averaged 11.6 yards per catch and scored 15 touchdowns; only George Kittle has more touchdowns and a higher yards-per-reception average over that span. The source projects that if Likely's targets increase from the 50-60 range to the 80-90 range, his efficiency and red-zone prowess will produce a tight end breakout. Likely and Dart form one of the source's favorite sneakier stacks in fantasy for 2026. At 26 years old, Likely is extremely cheap, going as TE13 in the 10th round. The source recommends pivoting to Likely as a consolation if you miss out on elite options like Brock Bowers or Tucker Kraft.
