Kenyon Sadiq should be good to go for Sunday’s game at New England after having a full practice Friday, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Jets tight end has been dealing with a concussion.

What happened

Sadiq had a full practice Friday, according to a source via Rapoport. The Jets are set to play the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 18 in Week 6.

Context

Sadiq has 38.9 PPR points through five games this season, with 21 targets, 14 receptions, 146 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown, and a 41% snap share. In Week 5, he posted 0.3 PPR points with two catches for three yards on three targets. He is listed as the TE1 on the Jets’ depth chart.

Timeline

On Thursday, Sadiq remained limited at practice with a concussion. Underdog NFL reported at the time that he would fully practice Friday and would be ready to play in Week 6.

Depth chart

Behind Sadiq on the Jets’ tight end depth chart are Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert, and Jelani Woods. Taylor has 7.2 PPR points with five receptions for 22 yards in three games. Ruckert has 18.8 PPR points with eight receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown in five games. Woods has 5.1 PPR points with two receptions for 31 yards in five games.

What’s next

Sadiq and the Jets face the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 18 in Week 6.

#Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) should be good to go after having a full practice on Friday, source says.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Sadiq’s likely return moves him back into the Jets’ starting tight end spot. However, his production has been inconsistent: he had a massive Week 3 with 23.5 PPR points, but just two catches for three yards in Week 5. Sleeper projects him for 5.6 PPR points in Week 6. He remains a risky streaming option, but volume-dependent owners in deeper leagues might consider him. Backup Mason Taylor would lose most of his streaming appeal if Sadiq is active.
