This was his second straight elite week after he caught 11 of 13 targets for 94 yards and 2 TDs to finish as the TE1 in Week 5. Likely has 23 targets over the last two games. That production has held up through the QB change.
Likely played 70 of 77 snaps (91%) and drew a target on 20% of his routes. Theo Johnson was out, so that led to Likely playing nearly every snap himself.
Thomas Fidone II ran 20 routes without a target, and Chris Manhertz ran just one route as a blocker. That makes Likely the Giants’ only receiving TE. He averaged 16.5 yards per catch, a downfield role rarely seen at TE. Behind Nabers’ 15 targets, Likely is the clear No. 2 option. Fields played more snaps but earned 3 fewer targets.
Houston allows the sixth-fewest adjusted PPR points to TEs (8.3), making Week 7 a tough spot. The Texans ranked 15th in pass defense power heading into Week 6. Philadelphia allows the 20th-most points to TEs after the bye, though it ranked 25th in pass defense power. Likely’s volume keeps him a TE1 even in a tough matchup.
