Kenyon Sadiq: Start or Sit?
Rookie TE2 with athletic movement traits. Seam-stretching move piece behind the starter; blocking still developing.
This week’s verdict
Sit· medium
TE20 at 5.1 projected points with a Questionable tag and just an 18.3 implied team total — not enough volume or certainty for a 12-team TE slot.

team points
- Carries a Questionable tag — usually plays, but monitor the final report.
- TEN ranks 18 of 32 against TEs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 0-game sample).
- Vegas implies 18.3 team points as 3.0-point underdogs.
- Listed TE on the latest depth chart.
The call
- 5.1 projected points and a TE20 consensus rank put him at the back of the startable tier; a healthy TE with a defined role is the better play.
- The Questionable designation adds real snap-count risk on top of an already modest projection — you may not know his workload until inactives.
- An 18.3 implied team total as a 3-point underdog caps the touchdown equity, and Tennessee grades middle-of-the-pack (18 of 32) against the position, so there's no matchup boost to chase.
- Tip: if he's upgraded to full participation and the offense's target tree thins out, he becomes a desperation streamer — not before.
