Tight end Isaiah Likely caught five of his team-high 10 targets for 33 yards as New York fell to the Rams on Monday night.
New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely was the busiest member of the passing game in Week 2, drawing 10 targets in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Likely converted five of those throws for 33 yards, an average of 6.6 yards per reception. He and quarterback Jameis Winston struggled to connect consistently after his strong debut the week before.
Despite the modest production, Likely's target total stood out, leading the Giants by four over any other player. That volume suggests he remains a central part of the offense regardless of who is under center going forward.
