News: 4 days agoSadiq caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.

Spin: After taking a back seat to Mason Taylor in recent weeks, Sadiq out-targeted his tight end teammate four to two against Kansas City. The rookie also closed the gap on Taylor in terms of routes, as Taylor ran 21 to Sadiq's 20 on Geno Smith's 38 dropbacks. It was easily Sadiq's most productive game since posting a 7-105-1 line in Week 3 against Detroit. He's not yet playable in most fantasy formats.

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.
