Sadiq, a first-round pick of the Jets, is the only rookie tight end with potential fantasy value in 2026, though even he might not be ready to contribute early in his career. The source advises not to waste too much time hunting for upside at the tight end position and suggests feeling free to stash Sadiq or monitor him on waivers.

PositiveValueSep 8, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles

A quiet summer and drafters avoiding Jets has pushed Sadiq's ADP down so much that he is available on multiple waiver wires. Completely fading a player with rare athletic gifts who was the 16th overall pick in the NFL draft is probably the wrong process. Sadiq can thrive off of YAC and makes for a great speculative addition.

NegativeInjurySep 8, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Sadiq has missed the entire preseason and major portions of the summer due to offseason hernia surgery and a minor setback in August. He recently returned to the practice field and is expected to be available for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, but the coaching staff has made it clear that his workload will be significantly scaled back as he rebuilds his conditioning. Treat Sadiq strictly as a bench stash for later in the season or a high-risk, low-floor option until he proves he has carved out a consistent role in the offense.

Rookie tight end selected 16th overall in 2026 NFL draft by Jets; missed virtually entire offseason and is playing catch-up. Unlikely to see major role early in season given how far behind he is with the offense. Question is how quickly he can catch up and deliver game-changing results the Jets expect, or if his upside must wait another year.

Sadiq missed camp time recovering from a sports hernia while Mason Taylor took reps and built a case to keep a solid share of the tight end targets; New York spent a first-round pick on Sadiq, so the talent case is real. The runway just got shorter. Pass on Sadiq for 2026 and treat him as a 2027 option instead.

Sadiq missed all of the offseason and camp due to injury after hernia surgery. He likely would have been the opening day starter had he been healthy. He's been practicing ahead of the game and looks ready to take the field to start the season, but that missed time is going to be hard to make up. Expect a slow start from the rookie.
