STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Likely's new Giants role and favorable matchup support a TE1 Week 1 projection.

Likely's 2025 season was crushed by a preseason foot injury; his 2024 season is more relevant. In 2024, among 57 qualifying tight ends, Likely ranked 17th in target per route run rate, tenth in yards per route run, eighth in first downs per route run, and eighth in fantasy points per route run. After signing a lucrative deal with the Giants this offseason, Likely should be their clear starting tight end and a strong part of their passing game, expected to open the season as the second option behind Malik Nabers. Dallas secondary was overhauled but allowed the fourth-most yards per target and fifth-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends in Weeks 12-18 last year; Likely could easily be a strong TE1 in Week 1.
