Kenyon Sadiq is in the concussion protocol after he was hit following a third-quarter catch in the Oct. 11 17-12 win over Cleveland and ruled out of the game, per Heavy. Coach Aaron Glenn said Sadiq “checked out just fine” but has to go through the process, and he needs clearance from an independent neurological consultant before he can play Sunday at New England.
Sadiq scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown on the Jets’ opening drive in Week 1 at Tennessee while playing 28 snaps in a three-tight-end rotation, per NFL.com. His role had grown while Mason Taylor missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a thumb injury.
Fantasy Action: Bench Sadiq for Week 6 at New England unless he clears the concussion protocol before Sunday, and line up a streaming tight end as a backup plan.
