The projection heading into this week is that Sadiq and Taylor are the co-starters, but Taylor is a notch or two better as a blocker and route runner vs zone. Ruckert is the best blocker overall. Will Sadiq be good enough to be a FT WR2/WR3 vs Cooper/Mitchell? Will he be good enough to overtake Taylor as part of a 2 TE set in the run game? Based on what I've seen, the answer is that he'll be a heavily involved situational option as TE/WR hybrid. There will be big plays as the conceptual mismatch vs the right coverage. I'm skeptical of sustainability this year. There's a risk he's found out after 4-6 weeks like Gadsden last year.

Sadiq's hybrid role offers big plays but faces sustainability and blocking concerns.

Kenyon Sadiq is projected as a co-starter with Taylor, but Taylor is a notch or two better as a blocker and route runner versus zone. Sadiq will be a heavily involved situational option as TE/WR hybrid with big-play potential as a conceptual mismatch versus the right coverage. However, JJ Zachariason is skeptical of sustainability; there's risk he's found out after 4-6 weeks like Gadsden last year. If he can't block and has difficulty with advanced TE/WR route concepts, his usage becomes too predictable. This is another boom-bust pick.
