first-rounders deliver, while almost everyone else fails to make a fantasy impact... Over the last 10 years, 11 tight ends were selected in the first round. Nine of them (81.8%) finished as top-24 fantasy options, and more than half (54.5%) finished as starting-caliber, top-12 assets.

STACKED’s take

First-round TE pedigree supports TE21 ADP as riskless late-round value play.

Despite skepticism around his college production (80 receptions, 892 yards, 11 TDs across 42 games) and the Jets' organizational issues, Sadiq's first-round draft capital historically delivers: 81.8% of first-round tight ends since 2016 finished as top-24 fantasy options, with 54.5% reaching top-12 status. At TE21 ADP (152nd overall in 12-team leagues), Sadiq represents a riskless late-round lottery ticket with ceiling upside; even replacement-level TE21 performance averages 5.5 PPG, a bar Sadiq can easily clear given his draft pedigree.
