Outlook Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Tennessee — Scaled-Back Role Limits Week 1 Value
Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq enters Week 1 questionable after undergoing offseason hernia surgery. Although he returned to consecutive practice sessions, offensive coordinator Frank Reich noted the Jets plan to scale back his workload and work him in slowly. Sadiq sits behind Mason Taylor on the depth chart, pointing to limited route participation in Sunday's road clash with the Titans. Fantasy managers should monitor inactive lists before kickoff to ensure he suits up.
With managed snaps expected in a low-scoring environment, Sadiq is not a viable starting option. Our weekly projection forecasts just 1.9 receptions for 18 yards (4.4 fantasy points) on roughly two targets. His start rate sits below 3% for good reason; fantasy managers should keep the talented rookie stashed on benches until he claims a full-time role in the offense.

Outlook Michael Mayer
Secondary Role Behind Brock Bowers Caps Standalone Fantasy Appeal
Michael Mayer enters the season operating as the secondary tight end in Las Vegas behind star Brock Bowers. While training camp reports note the offense plans to deploy plenty of two-tight-end sets, Mayer's weekly involvement will primarily revolve around blocking and short-yardage work rather than consistent passing-game volume.
Market sentiment has plummeted dramatically as draft season concludes. After hovering around pick 300 in late July, Mayer’s ADP crashed past pick 640 by late August, accompanied by his roster rate collapsing to just 2%. Fantasy managers in 1.0 PPR leagues have correctly treated him as a falling knife rather than a late-round bargain.
Our projections expect modest numbers, forecasting 35 receptions for 365 yards and two touchdowns. After posting just 36 catches for 342 yards last year, Mayer lacks the target share to warrant fantasy consideration outside of an injury to Bowers, keeping him firmly on waiver wires.
