Should I start Kenyon Sadiq or Corey Kiner in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 9:26 PM ET.

Start Kenyon Sadiq: 35 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Corey Kiner's 13 percent of the snaps and 18 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.

Should I drop Corey Kiner for Kenyon Sadiq?

Yes, on the rest of the season. Kenyon Sadiq projects 56 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (5.6 a game over 10 games), Corey Kiner 25 (2.5 a game over 10 games).

The market-based projections

Kenyon Sadiq's market-based projection is 5.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 125th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.

Corey Kiner's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

He carried 12 times for 58 yards and 0 touchdowns, and caught 2 of 3 targets for 15 more yards.

He was on the field for 7 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Kenyon Sadiq is a tight end and Corey Kiner 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 Corey Kiner in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Corey Kiner has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
