Mason Taylor Fantasy Overview

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq took the field Wednesday for the start of training camp, confirming that he and the team appropriately timed his "minor procedure" to address a hernia. The issue had lingered since Sadiq's final college season, and HC Aaron Glenn said back in May that they expected the rookie to be ready for training camp.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters Thursday that rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq had a “minor procedure” to address a hernia. Glenn said they expect the first-round pick to be ready for training camp.

The New York Jets selected Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq’s production profile is not as impressive as recent first-round TEs Brock Bowers, Tyler Warren, or Colston Loveland. He caught just five balls as a freshman and was out-produced by TE Terrance Ferguson as a sophomore in 2024. Sadiq set career highs across the board this past season, leading Oregon with 51 catches and 8 TDs and finishing second to WR Malik Benson with 560 yards. But his 1.62 yards per route ranked just 10th among 27 of the top TEs in this year’s class. For perspective, Bowers, Warren and Loveland all topped 2.6 yards per route in their final college seasons. On the plus side, Sadiq just turned 21 in March and lit up the Combine. He clocked a 4.39-second 40 time with a 43.5-inch vertical to earn a 9.52 Relative Athletic Score. Sadiq is a bit undersized at 6’3, 241 pounds but holds up well as a blocker. He should be able to stay on the field for all three downs. And he’s a three-level threat as a receiver, possessing plus route running and after-catch skills. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler calls Sadiq a “Vernon Davis-like weapon.”

The Jets have fired OC Tanner Engstrand, according to multiple reports. It's a late move for the Jets, whose season ended almost a month ago. "[HC] Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward. Simply, they decided to move forward separately," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. New York ranked 29th in both points and total yards in 2025, although it's tough to pin too much blame on Engstrand considering the state of the roster. The new OC will inherit an offense with a big question mark at QB, a potentially Breece Hall-less backfield, and nothing at WR behind Garrett Wilson.
