Tight End · New York Giants · Age 26 · Coastal Carolina · TE14 Half-PPR (Season 2026)
Isaiah Likely is ranked TE14 (overall #134) for the Season of the 2026 NFL season in Half-PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show. ADP 130.4 — close to consensus.
Likely is the punt TE in redraft with Nabers likely out
Likely enters the prime of his career with a new team, though his connection with Harbaugh remains. He signed a 3-year, $40M contract to be the receiving TE next to blocking-TE Theo Johnson. It's a similar role to the one he had next to Mark Andrews. That role provided zero weekly floor and the occasional spike week. That trend should continue here when Malik Nabers is back to hogging targets, but Nabers had a setback in his recovery and is now projected to miss September. That gives him his best projections early on. His case to be the punt TE in redraft checks out, especially if you're targeting the TE1s who are expected to be limited off their own injury (George Kittle, Tucker Kraft, etc.).
