NHL Playoffs: Penalty Kills Shine as Hurricanes Win Game 3 Over Senators
Hurricanes take a 3-0 series lead with 2-1 win over Senators in Game 3.
Kenyon Sadiq was selected 16th overall by the New York Jets in the 2026 NFL Draft. His fantasy outlook includes 46 receptions, 523 yards, and 4 touchdowns, with a redraft ranking of TE21.
Yahoo’s Justin Boone breaks down Kenyon Sadiq’s fantasy football outlook after he was selected by the New York Jets 16th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the tight end’s projection and ranking moving forward. You can also read his reaction to every fantasy-relevant selection in the first round.
There was a lot of hope surrounding Sadiq’s fantasy potential pre-draft and while that hasn’t disappeared completely, this landing spot puts a damper on his upside in the short term.
The Jets haven’t been an offense to target in fantasy for the last few seasons and have actually held back the ceiling outcomes for their stars like Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Sadiq might be on the verge of suffering a similar fate.

While Geno Smith will provide an upgrade at quarterback, Sadiq will be competing for targets with Wilson, Hall, Adonai Mitchell and last year’s second-round pick Mason Taylor (who is also a tight end!).
Perhaps Sadiq can overcome the hand he’s been dealt, but this is an unfortunate Year 1 scenario for a promising player.
Prospect profile: While Sadiq might not be a truly elite prospect, he’s not far off. He excels as a pass-catcher with incredible hands who catches like a wide receiver.
Whether he’s hauling in tough contested passes, making receptions in traffic amidst multiple defenders or sacrificing his body on diving grabs, Sadiq is a dangerous weapon.
The 21-year-old has a smooth athleticism that lets him glide around the field making plays. Though he’s not much of a tackle breaker, Sadiq is shifty enough to juke defenders and create more yards after the catch.
Fantasy stock up:
Kenyon Sadiq is projected to have 46 receptions, 523 receiving yards, and 4 touchdowns in the 2026 season.
Kenyon Sadiq is ranked TE21 for redraft leagues following his selection by the Jets.
In Superflex leagues, Kenyon Sadiq's dynasty rookie value is estimated to be between 1.07 and 1.10.
