his route participation was 67%. His snap was in the 40s... If you look at the top eight tight ends per game last year, McBride, Kittle, Kraft, Bowers, Pitts, Goddard, Laporta, Harold Fannin, all of them had a route participation rate of at least 75%

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Likely's 67% route share trails elite tight ends; 35% target rate unlikely to sustain.

In Week 1, Isaiah Likely posted a 35% target-per-route-run rate and 67% route participation (snap participation in the high 40s). For context, the top-8 tight ends from last year all had route participation rates of at least 75% (except Harold Fannin at 71%), suggesting Likely's current role is below historical elite tight end benchmarks, though the source notes it's only one game.
