TE Isaiah Likely, New York Giants His performance peaked in 2024, when he earned a solid 77.1 PFF receiving grade playing alongside Mark Andrews under Harbaugh in Baltimore. His 30 career missed tackles forced are the 12th most among tight ends since 2022, despite his ranking 28th in targets.<\/p>\n
Likely\u2019s future production, though, requires plenty of projection. He\u2019s yet to finish a regular season with at least 60 targets or 500 receiving yards. 2024 was the only season in which he notched at least a 70.0 PFF receiving grade. He missed the first three games of this past season with a broken foot, which clearly hindered him throughout the year. Likely\u2019s role will also be in question, as he\u2019s played just 835 snaps as an inline tight end in his career. That pales in comparison to his 1,393 snaps as a wide receiver. His skill set likely means that Theo Johnson will still play a big role in Matt Nagy\u2019s offense. Likely will also have to justify those alignments by putting up near-elite receiving production at the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TE Isaiah Likely, New York Giants His performance peaked in 2024, when he earned a solid 77.1 PFF…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,1207,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-821017","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-news","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116255573101257467","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821017\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
