Should I start Geno Smith or Kenyon Sadiq in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Geno Smith, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kenyon Sadiq, and the board ranks him 153rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Geno Smith is 16.2 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 3 market sources. That is 45 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

The market-based projection for Kenyon Sadiq is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a tight end's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

This season through Week 7

Through Week 7, Geno Smith has been on the field for 100 percent of NYJ snaps, dropped back 237 times and thrown 6.8 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 43 of 237 dropbacks and scrambled 10 times.

In Week 5 against CLE he completed 17 of 30 passes for 182 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions and ran 3 times for 9 yards.

In Week 6 against NE he completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception and ran 1 time for 0 yards.

In Week 7 against MIA he completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards, threw 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 1 time for 1 yards.

Through Week 7, Kenyon Sadiq has been on the field for 40 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 13 percent of the targets and had 4 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 5 of the offence's 52 third down targets, had 1 of its 11 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 31 two minute targets.

His 25 targets have averaged 5.4 air yards.

In Week 5 against CLE he caught 2 of 3 targets for 3 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against NE he caught 1 of 3 targets for 12 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against MIA he caught 1 of 1 target for 6 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Geno Smith played 15 games and scored 190.9 PPR points, 12.7 a game, finishing QB23.

He threw for 3025 yards on 448 attempts with 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions, and ran for 109 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 29.9 attempts a game at 6.8 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 97 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Kenyon Sadiq is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Geno Smith is a quarterback and Kenyon Sadiq a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
