Kenyon Sadiq Fantasy Stats

New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq has been a focal point of the team's passing attack, despite a quiet Week 4 performance in the 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears. In four games to start his NFL career, Sadiq has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 8.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With Mason Taylor (thumb) inactive, Sadiq played 22 of 32 snaps (69%), ran 12 of 18 routes (67%), and led the team in targets (4). With the Jets dominated by the Bears in Week 4, it was nearly impossible for any player to produce with only 32 offensive snaps. With no timetable for Taylor's return, Sadiq will remain a focal point in New York's offense and should be rostered in all formats despite the tough outing.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq was unable to carry his momentum from Week 3 into this weekend. The rookie tight end was held without a catch on four targets during the loss to the Chicago Bears. He was dealing with a back issue coming into this game, so that might've been part of the reason. The Jets only possessed the ball for 17 minutes in this game, so they didn't have a ton of time to do anything on offense. Sadiq tied wide receiver Garrett Wilson for the team lead in targets with four. This game was a dud, but overall, Sadiq has been a decent asset early on. He should be considered a low-end TE1 for the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chicago Bears. Sadiq had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Having the rookie available on Sunday is great news for the Jets, who already ruled out fellow tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) earlier in the week. Sadiq will continue to operate as New York's No. 1 tight end, looking to build off last week's fantastic stat line of seven catches, 105 yards, and one touchdown. That level of volume and productivity makes Sadiq an intriguing TE1 option in fantasy football this week. However, we acknowledge that his floor will be on the lower side as long as Geno Smith is his quarterback.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (back) is questionable after being limited in all three practices this week. If he's active, though, the setup is still appealing. Mason Taylor (thumb) and Adonai Mitchell (finger) have both been ruled out, two absences that helped open the door for Sadiq's seven-catch, 105-yard, one-touchdown breakout against Detroit. He did that on eight targets and now has 12 receptions for 143 yards through three games. There is some snap-count caution here because Sadiq played 57% of the offensive snaps last week, and the back issue adds another layer of uncertainty. RotoBaller's Saturday update has him at TE10. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan available Sunday morning, but Sadiq is a legitimate TE1 if the Jets clear him to play.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Sadiq was limited Wednesday and Thursday after his breakout performance in Week 3, when he caught seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown against Detroit. That brought him to 12 receptions for 143 yards through his first three NFL games. There should still be plenty available to him if he plays. Tight end Mason Taylor and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell have already been ruled out, leaving the Jets short on pass catchers once again. RotoBaller has Sadiq at TE9 for Week 4 after last week's jump in usage. His questionable tag makes it worth having another tight end available Sunday morning, but Sadiq belongs in fantasy lineups if he gets the green light against Chicago.

New York Jets rookie first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq (back) is dealing with a back injury and was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Jets' tight end group is a bit banged up going into their Week 4 road contest against the Chicago Bears, with Jeremy Ruckert (knee) limited and Mason Taylor (thumb) missing another practice. Taylor did not play in last week's loss to the Detroit Lions, and Sadiq took advantage, catching seven of his eight targets for a season-high 105 yards and his first receiving touchdown of his career. It looks like Taylor could miss another game, but even when he returns, the 21-year-old Sadiq is expected to be the better downfield pass-catching option for the Jets at the position. Sadiq had only five catches for 38 yards in his first two NFL games, but he did manage to find the end zone on a three-yard rush. Sadiq could have TE1 upside for a second straight week in Week 4 if he is active and both Taylor and receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) miss another game.

New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq caught seven of eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. With wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) and tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) inactive, Sadiq had a breakout game, being one of two tight ends to have over 100 yards in Week 3. However, he played only 57% of the snaps and ran 58% of the routes, while Jelani Woods and Jeremy Ruckert also saw significant roles. If Mitchell or Taylor return next week against the Chicago Bears, Sadiq could see fewer targets, but he looked special and will be difficult to keep off the field. Sadiq should be a strong waiver-wire option as he looks to carry this momentum into Week 4.

New York Jets rookie first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq delivered career highs with eight targets, seven receptions, 105 receiving yards, and his first career receiving touchdown in a 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3. He played 38 offensive snaps, which was the most among tight ends for New York. This was just the third career game for the rookie, so there is plenty of time for Sadiq to best those numbers in the future as well. Sadiq entered Sunday's game with five receptions for 38 yards, and one rushing attempt for a three-yard touchdown. Currently rostered in just 18% of Yahoo leagues, Sadiq will likely be a popular waiver wire target ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Chicago Bears. He remains a strong dynasty player.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq caught two of three targets for 17 yards against Green Bay after recording three receptions for 21 yards and a rushing touchdown in his NFL debut. His Week 3 opportunity is more interesting now that Mason Taylor has officially been ruled out with a thumb injury. Taylor did not practice at all this week, leaving Sadiq and Jeremy Ruckert to handle the available tight-end work. Detroit gave up seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown to Dalton Kincaid last Thursday, although Sadiq has not shown anything close to that kind of receiving role yet. RotoBaller ranks him as the TE32 for Week 3. He remains a risky play in normal leagues, but Taylor's absence gives Sadiq his clearest path yet to additional routes and targets.

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq has not done enough yet to trust in a fantasy lineup, but his path to more work may be opening up. The rookie caught two passes for 17 yards against Green Bay after posting three catches for 21 yards and a three-yard rushing touchdown in Week 1. He now has five receptions for 38 yards through two games. Mason Taylor (thumb) left Sunday's loss late, and his Week 3 status is still unclear, which could push Sadiq into a larger role against Detroit. New York spent the 16th overall pick on Sadiq, and his offseason was interrupted by hernia surgery before he later suffered a setback in training camp. RotoBaller has him 40th overall on its Week 3 waiver board and recommends him in 14-team leagues. That feels like the right range. Sadiq is not a streamer yet, but deeper-league managers can stash him now in case the opportunity grows faster than expected.
