Only 1 target in Week 7 game; analytically overrated minus athleticism; zero career 100-yard games in college with only three games over 60 yards; poor scheme fit as round-one slot receiver pick alongside Mason Taylor (top 35 pick from prior year).

Sadiq is the pre-game ball pick against Miami's atrocious pass defense (115 passer rating allowed, second worst in NFL; 11 passing TDs allowed in five games; just four sacks all season). Opposing tight ends have combined for 381 yards and three touchdowns against the Dolphins in five games. With all Jets primary passing weapons available for the first time since opening day, Sadiq—described as an 'uber talented tight end'—should have a field day if Frank Reich deploys him regularly, as the Dolphins have struggled mightily against the tight end position.

Kenyon Sadiq is the Jets' pre-game ball pick against Miami's atrocious pass defense, which has allowed a 115 passer rating (second worst in NFL), 11 passing touchdowns in five games, and just four sacks all season (fewest in NFL). Opposing tight ends have combined for 381 yards and three touchdowns against the Dolphins in five games.

Sadiq had a breakout seven-catch, 103-yard game with a touchdown in the Jets' 31-24 loss to Detroit, the game where Geno Smith threw multiple touchdowns. Since then, he has only three catches for 15 yards across three games (averaging 1 catch for 5 yards per game). The Dolphins have been especially leaky to tight ends, surrendering touchdowns to George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Mike Gesicki, and Tanner Hudson. The source projects Sadiq (or Mason Taylor) to score a touchdown this week.

Kenyon Sadiq broke out against Detroit in Week 3 with 100-plus receiving yards, taking advantage of a defense that has struggled to cover tight ends. The rookie gets another appealing matchup in Week 7 against Miami, whose defense apparently considers covering the position optional. While the Dolphins are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, they give the Jets plenty of reason to attack Miami's vulnerabilities over the middle and make Sadiq the focus of their offensive scheme this week.
