Fantasy Football Outlook: Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Kenyon Sadiq

It’s make-a-wish season for dynasty fantasy football managers, and I’m not talking about the charity. With the combine in the rearview and the draft seemingly around the corner, it’s the perfect time to wishcast landing spots.

Dynasty Rookie Dream Landing Spots | Fantasy Football

In this article, we’re going to lucid dream our ideal landing spots for the top rookies for fantasy. Although these are dreamy landing spots, we are going to ensure that each spot is relatively realistic and has a genuine chance of coming to fruition.

Carnell Tate (WR – Ohio State) Chiefs (9th Overall)

It’s the Chiefs’ turn to select a fantasy star with their first-round pick. This may be the only time we see the Chiefs drafting this high for a while. As a result, why not target a position they have struggled to lock down for years?

Taking swings on Kadarius Toney, Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown has not aged well. Thankfully, they have managed to utilize Rashee Rice‘s ability to its fullest. However, he is not a typical larger-bodied X receiver, often relying on yards after the catch to make plays. That, and he seems to always be in legal trouble.

Carnell Tate is the perfect weapon for Patrick Mahomes. At 6-foot-2-inches and 192 pounds, Tate is exactly what the Chiefs need alongside Rice. Although he is not necessarily elite in any one aspect, his value comes as arguably the best all-around receiver in this class.

Often compared to George Pickens in style of play, Tate could easily become a player Mahomes can rely on down the field and in the red zone. Don’t let the fact that he was playing alongside Jeremiah Smith hide how good Tate is as a receiver.

Jordyn Tyson (WR – Arizona State) Ravens (14th Overall)

A dream landing spot for a receiver is Baltimore? Absolutely. The Ravens have continued to squeeze the last remaining juice from aging veterans for multiple years now, with no avail. Enter Jordyn Tyson, an incredible athlete who has arguably the highest upside of any skill player in this draft. The issue is that he has often been injured so far in his career.

However, if he can stay healthy, Tyson would be the perfect fit for Lamar Jackson on the outside. With Zay Flowers taking the short work and Mark Andrews patrolling the middle of the field, a true deep playmaker would open up this entire offense. Even though Jackson is often highlighted as a rusher, his passing is frequently overlooked. We are only one season removed from him throwing 41 passing touchdowns to only four interceptions.

Baltimore as a landing spot is not only a good spot for Tyson, but it would also boost the entire offense. In the end, Tyson on the Ravens would be good for him and great for Jackson, Flowers and Derrick Henry.

Kenyon Sadiq (TE – Oregon) Broncos (30th Overall)

We knew Kenyon Sadiq was athletic, but his combine results blew any expectations out of the water. Despite being 42 pounds heavier than Jahmyr Gibbs, both players had the same top speed in their 40-yard-dash. That’s incredible.

He may not be the biggest tight end, but Sadiq’s ability as a receiver is very enticing for fantasy. Unfortunately, his blocking could improve and may limit his snaps over his first season or two. Going to a team like the Broncos would be a good fit, as Courtland Sutton is their only established player in the receiving game. Although Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin have had moments, another big body after the catch threat would be perfect for Sean Payton.

Tight ends are hard to predict for fantasy, often relying on team environment and multiple years of development to contribute for fantasy purposes. Sadiq reminds me of Noah Fant as a prospect, a hyper athletic fit that needs to improve as an in-line blocker. If he develops, we could see a player with a similar skill set as Trey McBride, with usage being a key factor for fantasy production.
