Sadiq caught his one target for 6 yards (3.1% target share, down from 9.4%) on 22 of 59 snaps (37%, flat from 35%), running a route on just 37.5% of dropbacks; the source rates this as a sell, noting his role has been nuked since Taylor returned with one first-half catch on 22 snaps while Taylor took the volume, and recommends the rookie can be dropped.

The tight end has been decent for the New York Jets; taking him early in the draft would have meant the Rams wouldn't have selected Max Klare in the third round.

Sadiq has been established behind Mason Taylor in the Jets' tight end depth chart since Taylor's return in Week 5. Sadiq had just 29.4% route participation over Taylor's first two games back, compared to Taylor's 58.8% route share, indicating Taylor has taken over the primary role.

The source recommends selling Sadiq in dynasty despite liking him as a prospect pre-draft. Though Sadiq had one strong game (105 yards, 1 TD in Week 3 against a weak Lions defense with Mason Taylor and Omar Cooper sidelined), he has not eclipsed 12 yards in any of the four games since, barely outpacing Jelani Woods recently while Cooper vastly outshines him. The source cites concerns about the Jets organization's ability to develop him and invokes Kyle Pitts as a cautionary comparison—elite raw tools but struggling to translate to consistent production.

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.

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.
