Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq took the field Wednesday for the start of training camp, confirming that he and the team appropriately timed his "minor procedure" to address a hernia. The issue had lingered since Sadiq's final college season, and HC Aaron Glenn said back in May that they expected the rookie to be ready for training camp.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters Thursday that rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq had a “minor procedure” to address a hernia. Glenn said they expect the first-round pick to be ready for training camp.

The New York Jets selected Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq’s production profile is not as impressive as recent first-round TEs Brock Bowers, Tyler Warren, or Colston Loveland. He caught just five balls as a freshman and was out-produced by TE Terrance Ferguson as a sophomore in 2024. Sadiq set career highs across the board this past season, leading Oregon with 51 catches and 8 TDs and finishing second to WR Malik Benson with 560 yards. But his 1.62 yards per route ranked just 10th among 27 of the top TEs in this year’s class. For perspective, Bowers, Warren and Loveland all topped 2.6 yards per route in their final college seasons. On the plus side, Sadiq just turned 21 in March and lit up the Combine. He clocked a 4.39-second 40 time with a 43.5-inch vertical to earn a 9.52 Relative Athletic Score. Sadiq is a bit undersized at 6’3, 241 pounds but holds up well as a blocker. He should be able to stay on the field for all three downs. And he’s a three-level threat as a receiver, possessing plus route running and after-catch skills. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler calls Sadiq a “Vernon Davis-like weapon.”

The Jets have fired OC Tanner Engstrand, according to multiple reports. It's a late move for the Jets, whose season ended almost a month ago. "[HC] Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward. Simply, they decided to move forward separately," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. New York ranked 29th in both points and total yards in 2025, although it's tough to pin too much blame on Engstrand considering the state of the roster. The new OC will inherit an offense with a big question mark at QB, a potentially Breece Hall-less backfield, and nothing at WR behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday's finale vs. the Bills. He finishes his rookie season with a 44-369-1 receiving line in 13 games, ranking 33rd among TEs in PPR points per game. Taylor flashed some target-earning ability, albeit in a barren pass-catching corps, and turns just 22 in May. He remains a nice dynasty hold but needs the Jets to find an answer at QB. Continue to ignore the Jets' TE room in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. That again leaves lead TE duties to Jeremy Ruckert, who’s totaled 27 yards on four catches over the last two weeks.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. Jeremy Ruckert gets another game as lead TE but isn’t a fantasy option after catching two balls for 13 yards last week.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. That leaves Jeremy Ruckert as New York’s likely lead TE, but you’re not messing with him in fantasy lineups in this Brady Cook-led passing game.

Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, HC Aaron Glenn announced Friday. QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) will be out with their injuries. Cook, an undrafted rookie out of Missouri, will be making his first career start in this one. He completed just 47% of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt in relief of Taylor last week. The Jets' passing game is a total avoid in fantasy lineups if you can help it. And Jacksonville's DST is a strong Week 15 start.

Jets QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Aaron Glenn said. They'll be evaluated later this week. QB Brady Cook will get the first-team reps on Wednesday and is the favorite to start this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Cook was abysmal last week, completing 47% of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt against a beatable Dolphins pass defense. RB Breece Hall is the only viable fantasy starter in this offense -- and he's not even a comfortable play with Cook.

The Jets are benching QB Justin Fields in favor of QB Tyrod Taylor for this weekend's game against the Ravens, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Fields is coming off one of his better passing performances of the season in Thursday night's loss to the Patriots -- but it still resulted in only 116 yards and one TD. The Jets have been held under 120 passing yards in three of Fields' last four games. He's completed 62.7% of his passes at just 6.2 yards per attempt on the season.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss "at least" 3-4 weeks with his latest knee injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson does not need surgery, but we can't imagine the 2-7 Jets rushing him back. The timeline puts Wilson out through at least Week 13. He's worth stashing in you have the bench space, but we wouldn't consider Wilson a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. The Jets are left with a wasteland of WRs Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, John Metchie, and Adonai Mitchell. Avoid the group in fantasy. TE Mason Taylor theoretically finds strong target opportunity, but he'll remain tough to trust as long as Justin Fields is under center.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. The quad and QB Justin Fields add risk to Taylor’s Week 8 profile. But he gains target upside with WRs Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds out. And he has an excellent matchup against Cincinnati’s 32nd-ranked TE defense.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (quad) is "likely" to play vs. the Bengals tomorrow, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Taylor was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. The quad issue adds risk to Taylor's Week 8 outlook, as does QB Justin Fields. But Taylor has plenty of target upside with WRs Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds out. And he gets the league's 32nd-ranked TE defense.

Jets WR Josh Reynold (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He was added to the injury report on Friday and originally listed as questionable. Reynolds was the best target bet in New York's Garrett Wilson-less WR corps. Now the Jets are down to WRs Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Isaiah Williams. Avoid the situation in all fantasy formats. TE Mason Taylor is the favorite to lead the team in targets vs. Cincinnati -- if he's able to play through the quad injury that has him listed as questionable.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Taylor and get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Jets TE Mason Taylor was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday with a quad issue. Taylor has a great Week 8 matchup vs. the Bengals' league-worst TE defense, but his availability for that one is now in question. Check back tomorrow for an update on his status.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 8, but it’s worth noting that New York has a Week 9 bye. Wilson’s absence leaves Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Allen Lazard as New York’s top four WRs. That’s a situation to avoid. TE Mason Taylor is the favorite to lead the Jets in targets.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He won’t play in that one, although we suppose being listed doubtful instead of out is good news for his chances of making it back for Week 8. Wilson's absence on Sunday leaves Josh Reynolds, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Allen Lazard as New York’s top four WRs. We wouldn’t mess with any of them in fantasy lineups. TE Mason Taylor is the favorite to lead the team in targets.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson has been diagnosed with a hyperextended knee and is expected to miss “a couple of weeks," a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. So fantasy owners should plan on Wilson missing the next two games vs. the Panthers and Bengals. The Jets then get a Week 9 bye, and Wilson should be back for Week 10.
