Likely's $40M deal and 7 TDs in 10 games without Andrews signal breakout vs. weak Cowboys.

Likely is expected to be a focal point in the passing game after following head coach John Harbaugh from Baltimore and signing a $40 million contract. The 25-year-old was stuck behind Mark Andrews on the depth chart with the Ravens but in 10 games without Andrews throughout his first four NFL seasons, he scored seven touchdowns. The Cowboys allowed the second-most points in 2024, then allowed the most in 2025, yielding a league-high 60 touchdowns. They made sweeping personnel changes across the defense during the offseason but also have a first-time defensive coordinator. Star wide receiver Malik Nabers' health remains in question and plenty of focus is on the return of Odell Beckham Jr. The source states Likely is one of the most overlooked tight ends in Week 1 and has breakout potential, recommending to start him with confidence.
