Why It Matters: It's hard to imagine a more impactful beginning to Likely's Giants career than what we saw on Sunday night as the former Raven caught all eight of his targeted passes for a game-high 78 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While we've seen flashes like this from Likely before, he's far better positioned to sustain now that he's free from the shadow of Mark Andrews. In the off chance he's still kicking around the waiver wire in your league, he should be added immediately as a potential weekly TE1 option.
