Giants beat writer Dan Duggan called TE Isaiah Likely "the most consistent offensive player" on the team. "[I'd] be very surprised if he's not a very reliable option," Duggan added.
What They're Saying
Connor Hughes of SNY shared another positive assessment of Likely's camp performance, advising readers to "buy your Isaiah Likely stock."
"Likely is more of a utility weapon than a traditional tight end," Hughes writes. "The Giants move him throughout the formation, and he has displayed clear early chemistry with [Jaxson] Dart. Likely attacks all three levels of the defense, and the Giants appear intent on featuring him. You hope a receiver steps up. In the meantime, Likely appears to be the No. 2 option behind Nabers."
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Likely Brings TE1 Potential
Likely's contract calls for an average of $13.3 million per year -- fourth most among TEs behind George Kittle, Trey McBride, and Kyle Pitts.
The Giants clearly have big plans here, and it's nice to hear Likely is delivering through the early portion of camp. He projects as a spot-start fantasy TE1 alongside Malik Nabers, with potential to develop into a weekly option depending on the WR's health and effectiveness.
