News: 3 days agoSadiq (back) didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Spin: Sadiq played through a questionable tag and tied Garrett Wilson for the team lead in targets, but the rookie first-round pick failed to record a catch as Geno Smith completed only eight passes. The Jets' banged-up offense will try to bounce back when they return home for Week 5 against the Browns. Sadiq had 105 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Lions but has recorded only 38 receiving yards across the other three outings of his young NFL career.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sadiq was selected by the Jets with the No. 16 pick of April's draft. After playing a limited role his first two collegiate seasons, he broke out with a 51-560-8 receiving line in 2025. He handled a respectable 17% of Oregon's targets and aligned in the slot 62% of the time. Sadiq is a bit on the small side, but he totaled 106 targets in three collegiate seasons. He needs to cut down on drops (six on 70 targets in 2025), but he's one of the youngest players in this rookie class and crushed it at the combine, posting a ridiculous 4.39 40-yard dash at 241 pounds (130 speed score) and a 43.5-inch vertical, 133-inch broad jump and 26 bench reps. Sadiq's career might start slow, especially with Mason Taylor also on the Jets' TE depth chart, but the rookie has the upside to eventually emerge as a fantasy TE1. Consider him with a mid-to-late pick.
