Kenyon Sadiq's fantasy role in Week 2
Kenyon Sadiq goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league TE flyer for the NYJ. He is rostered in 38% of leagues and actually started in 5% of them, and we rank him TE24 on our own weekly board at 6.6 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs GB. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 2 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting TE baseline of 7 points, his 6.6-point projection is 0.4 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Kenyon Sadiq is a fair Week 2 play — our TE24 at 6.6 projected points, right around the TE starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another TE, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Kenyon Sadiq (NYJ TE), our TE24 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs GB, projecting 6.6 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. GB is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Only 38% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. He grades 6% below the average weekly TE number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
