Likely is with the Giants now, and he walks into a similar mix: they threw on 53 percent of their plays last season, 25th of 32, against 48 percent and 32nd for the Ravens. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Giants' and his own are what he did with the Ravens. Likely was 5th on the Ravens in targets in 2025, with 36 of the 332 they threw in the 12 regular season games he played. He is listed at 6-4 and 245 pounds, shorter than 71 percent of the 187 tight ends on a 2026 roster and lighter than 71 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Giants' 2026 schedule gave up 232.8 passing yards a game last season; the 17 the Ravens met gave up 219.5.

Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.His targets over his club's, counted across the games he played. Games he missed are in neither total.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Touchdowns the defense he meets has allowed, beside his own offense

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
