Should I start Kenyon Sadiq or Austin Ekeler in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 9:11 AM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kenyon Sadiq: 48 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Austin Ekeler's 29 percent of the snaps and 28 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size306 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kenyon Sadiq, and the board ranks him 40th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Austin Ekeler, and the board ranks him 41st overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Kenyon Sadiq, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
Austin Ekeler's market-based projection is 6.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 14 market sources. That is the 20th highest figure of the 180 players with a market-based projection.
This season through Week 9
Through Week 9, Kenyon Sadiq has been on the field for 43 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 12 percent of the targets and had 4 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 6 of the offence's 69 third down targets, had 2 of its 17 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 35 two minute targets.
His 31 targets have averaged 5.7 air yards.
In Week 7 against MIA he caught 1 of 1 target for 6 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against LV he caught 1 of 2 targets for 22 yards and did not score.
In Week 9 against KC he caught 4 of 4 targets for 49 yards and did not score.
Through Week 9, Austin Ekeler has been on the field for 25 percent of WAS snaps, taken 21 percent of the carries, drawn 5 percent of the targets and had 17 percent of the red zone chances.

In Week 9 against LAR he carried 8 times for 16 yards, caught 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
Kenyon Sadiq is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 Austin Ekeler played 2 games and scored 13.1 PPR points, 6.6 a game, finishing RB103.
He carried 14 times for 43 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 5 of 7 targets for 38 more yards.
That came to 7.0 carries a game at 3.1 yards a carry and 2-3 catches a game.
He was on the field for 50 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Kenyon Sadiq is a tight end and Austin Ekeler a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Kenyon Sadiq is off in Week 13 and Austin Ekeler in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
Kenyon Sadiq has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
