Kenyon Sadiq Week 3 Outlook - Jets at Lions

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 27th 2026, 12:35pm EDT

Kenyon Sadiq is a wonderful streaming option at the tight end position this week. With Mason Taylor and Adonai Mitchell out, I expect Sadiq's role to grow this week. Will Jeremy Ruckert still be involved? Yes, but Sadiq should own the larger portion of a split workload. Sadiq has a 40% route share, a 17% target per route run rate, 1.27 YPRR, zero red zone and deep targets, and an 8.3% first-read share. Ruckert has only had a 20% route share comparatively over the first two games. We could see Sadiq's route share climb into the 60% (or higher) range this week. Detroit is tied for the most tight end touchdowns allowed this season (four). The Lions are 15th in yards per target given up against tight ends while allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position.
