After averaging just 12.7 Fantasy Points Per Game for a dysfunctional Raiders offense in 2025, Geno Smith is pushing the ball downfield in Jets camp to stretch secondary coverages and open underneath passing lanes. As a consequence, New York tight ends and rookie wideout Omar Cooper Jr.—equipped with a 26.4% College Dominator Rating and a 21.3% College Target Share—are soaking up the underneath looks.
If Smith channels his 2024 Seattle form where he registered a 70.4% Completion Percentage, both New York’s deep threats and mid-range route runners will be afforded increased PPR volume stability. Smith has been the best-value QB to stack in fantasy football best ball formats this summer.

First-round pick (No. 16 overall) Kenyon Sadiq hit a snag in his recovery from offseason hernia surgery. Head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back for Week 1, but fantasy managers must track his training camp reps. Mason Taylor sits atop the depth chart for now after posting 44 receptions on 65 targets as a rookie.
Missed practice time will impact Sadiq’s early-season production and continue to push him down draft boards in both fantasy football best ball and redraft formats.
It is not great to hear a minor hernia procedure is forcing Kenyon Sadiq to miss spring reps. He will have no problem seizing the Y/move tight end role when healthy after posting a 21.7-percent (79th-percentile) College Dominator Rating at Oregon and blew up the Combine with a historic 4.39-second 40-yard dash.
While he starts his career splitting reps with Mason Taylor—who earned an 18.8-percent Target Share as a rookie—Sadiq remains a high-upside TE2 value as the New York Jets drafted a certified freak at No. 16 overall. Missing camp may delay his breakout by a couple weeks, but Sadiq is a smart fantasy pick, especially in dynasty leagues.
The New York Jets just injected a potential mismatch into their offense by drafting Kenyon Sadiq at No. 16, a certified speed demon who shattered the NFL Combine record with a scorching 4.39-second 40-yard dash at 241 pounds. Sadiq is an analytical fever dream with a 20.5 Breakout Age and a massive 130.0 Speed Score (100th-percentile) that makes him a terrifying “big slot” weapon capable of erasing linebackers and safeties alike.
In dynasty formats, it solidifies Sadiq as a late-first round pick with his elite 16.3% Target Share and record-breaking athleticism. This selection makes the future murky for Mason Taylor, drafted 42nd overall in 2025.
2025 second round draft pick, Mason Taylor, has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain at New York Jets training camp. Head Coach Aaron Glenn announced the diagnosis on Tuesday.
Taylor has missed two straight days of practice and will now be expected to miss more time. High ankle sprains typically have a four to six week recovery time line and can linger throughout the season.
Taylor had been having a strong camp so it’s disappointing that he suffered this injury the week of the Jets first preseason game. His week one availability doesn’t appear to be in jeopardy just yet but the high ankle sprain will certainly cause his ADP to fall in drafts over the last month of drafting season.

The New York Jets agreed to terms with their 2nd round rookie tight end Mason Taylor on a four year $10.46 million contract. 91.3%, $9.56 million, of the contract is guaranteed.
The Jets rookies report to training camp on July 19th, Taylor’s deal ensures he’ll be reporting to training camp on time. Taylor is expected to compete for the Jets starting tight end role so getting into camp on time was a crucial step.
Taylor getting his deal done before training camp sets him up to be a vital part of the Jets offense this year. There never seemed to be much concern about Taylor’s contract so don’t expect his ADP to rise but by avoiding a holdout he remains a solid late round tight end option.
