NBC Sports Rotoworld on Kenyon Sadiq

Fade at TE26; hernia recovery and Mason Taylor depth chart lock him out of 12-team value.

Sadiq is faded at TE26 despite being a first-round pick. The source notes he never produced or checked critical boxes at Oregon and is unlikely to see a full route rate in 2026, especially after missing training camp recovering from hernia surgery. Mason Taylor, listed as TE1 on the depth chart, will likely operate as the Jets' No. 1 tight end for much or all of 2026, leaving no path for Sadiq to contribute in 12-team formats.
