News: 11 hours agoSadiq (back) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Spin: Sadiq has been limited in each of the Jets' first two practices leading up to Sunday's game against the Bears. The rookie tight end took a hard landing on a diving catch that resulted in the first receiving touchdown of his NFL career in the Week 3 loss to the Lions, so his back injury may be connected to that play. Sadiq will have one more chance to increase his practice participation level Friday before the Jets release their Week 4 injury statuses.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sadiq was selected by the Jets with the No. 16 pick of April's draft. After playing a limited role his first two collegiate seasons, he broke out with a 51-560-8 receiving line in 2025. He handled a respectable 17% of Oregon's targets and aligned in the slot 62% of the time. Sadiq is a bit on the small side, but he totaled 106 targets in three collegiate seasons. He needs to cut down on drops (six on 70 targets in 2025), but he's one of the youngest players in this rookie class and crushed it at the combine, posting a ridiculous 4.39 40-yard dash at 241 pounds (130 speed score) and a 43.5-inch vertical, 133-inch broad jump and 26 bench reps. Sadiq's career might start slow, especially with Mason Taylor also on the Jets' TE depth chart, but the rookie has the upside to eventually emerge as a fantasy TE1. Consider him with a mid-to-late pick.
