If you’re playing the long game — and considering this is dynasty we’re talking about here, you absolutely should be — then I suggest trying to acquire some Kenyon Sadiq shares. The box scores have been about as ugly as they could get over the last month. Since his seven-catch, 105-yard performance in Week 3 against the Lions, Sadiq has totaled just 4.1 fantasy points in half-PPR scoring. That’s not per game; that’s total points. Yes, Sadiq is barely averaging a single fantasy point per game over his last four.

In 2025, the Bengals allowed the most fantasy points to the position at 18.6 per game. This season, the Lions are surrendering a ridiculous 24.7 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Back to Sadiq. We knew patience would be needed when it comes to the No. 16 overall pick. You have to remember, he’s only 21 years old. Plus, he’s splitting work with Mason Taylor , who was just drafted in the second round a year ago. While the production hasn’t been there outside of the Detroit game, some of the underlying metrics look encouraging. Among qualifying tight ends, Sadiq ranks second in target separation (2.56), 15th in yards per route run (1.64), and 16th in fantasy points per route run (0.43), per PlayerProfiler data. And while his route participation is low at 41.5%, Sadiq is earning looks when he’s out there. His 25% target rate ranks eighth at the position. The problem is playing time, not his ability. If the Sadiq manager in your league has already started to sour on him, pounce. Remember, we’re dealing with an athletic freak who ran the fastest 40-yard dash ever recorded by a tight end at the NFL Combine. Sadiq is oozing with raw physical ability and upside. In TE-premium formats, you should be seeing if you can get him for a projected late first-round pick. Better yet, see if you can land him for a pair of second-rounders. It might take another year or two before production becomes consistent, but Sadiq’s profile is one worth betting on. Dynasty managers with Ollie Gordon II are essentially playing with house money. He was supposed to be a change-of-pace back behind superstar De’Von Achane . Instead, a knee injury to Achane opened the door to a much larger opportunity, and Gordon kicked it down. The second-year back has been a revelation so far. Gordon is averaging 97 rushing yards per game since taking over the starting role, and he’s scored a touchdown in four straight contests. Since Week 4, he’s averaging 16.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. For comparison, Bijan Robinson is averaging 15.5 over that same span. Ollie Gordon’s Advanced Metrics Under the hood, things look good, though not elite. Among qualifying running backs, Gordon ranks fifth in juke rate (28.2%) and seventh in Explosive Rating (115.6), while sporting a 5.6% breakaway run rate. On the flip side, he also ranks 28th in yards created per touch (2.82) and 27th in fantasy points per opportunity (0.82). A big reason why is because Gordon offers next to nothing as a receiver, with only six receptions for a measly 14 yards across six games so far. If you’ve been riding the production, that’s great. However, zoom [... truncated ...]
