Dynasty Rookies to Know: Tight Ends
Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon)
If you’re playing in a TE-Premium format, feel free to move Sadiq up a couple of spots. This is the furthest I’d be willing to reach on Sadiq in normal scoring leagues.
Frankly, if Sadiq wasn’t projected as a top-20 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, I wouldn’t have him anywhere close to this high, but the draft capital needs to be considered. I’m just worried about his lack of size, college production and his inconsistent hands.
Eli Stowers (TE – Vanderbilt)
Eli Stowers’ athleticism, versatility and football IQ should earn him a full-time role on Sundays. He should get Day 2 draft capital.
Beginning his college career as a quarterback, Stowers sees the field differently than most skill players, allowing him to consistently win versus man and zone coverages. My biggest concern is play strength, as he’s listed at just 235 pounds.
