Breakout upside with Harbaugh; top-12 TE potential with full-time role.
Likely figures to be in for a breakout campaign in 2026 after following Harbaugh from the Ravens to the Giants this offseason and finally having a chance to get out from under Mark Andrews' shadow. He totaled back-to-back 400-plus yard seasons with the Ravens in 2023 and 2024 but has averaged just 17.4 routes run per game for his career. For context, the per-game average for tight ends who ranked in the top 20 in total routes last season was 28.8. Likely should have no trouble surpassing his single-season bests now that he finds himself in a full-time starting role, and he's reportedly been a 'favorite target' of Jaxson Dart's this spring. The source notes it's too early to confidently project him as a TE1, but he has the upside to insert himself into the top-12 of the group, or better, if his enhanced role is as expected.
