Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq suffered "a little setback" in his recovery from spring hernia surgery and will miss some time, HC Aaron Glenn said Tuesday. Sadiq is expected to be ready for Week 1, but the missed time hurts the rookie's chances of making an early-season fantasy impact.

Sadiq missed June minicamp after the hernia surgery and will now miss some training camp and likely some preseason reps. We'll see when he's able to get back on the field, but it's tough to imagine Sadiq emerging as a reliable fantasy starter early this season.
Sadiq still has TE2 appeal in best ball and might be worth stashing in managed leagues with deeper benches. But in leagues with 8 or fewer bench spots, he's more of a waiver-wire watch-list guy.
