Likely played a huge role with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. It seemed like every time Jaxson Dart needed a key play, he was looking Likely's way. Four of Likely's catches came on third downs, converting all four into first downs, and two came in the red zone.

Likely's 8-78-2 debut shows he's a key target for Dart in Giants offense.

Giants tight end Isaiah Likely, signed by John Harbaugh from Baltimore on a three-year, $40 million deal, showed immediate promise in Week 1 with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He was heavily targeted on key plays, converting four of his eight catches on third downs into first downs and two in the red zone. With Malik Nabers still limited from a torn ACL, Likely is already a big factor in the Giants' passing game and capable of furthering a breakout season.
