Should I start Kenyon Sadiq or Joe Burrow in Week 8?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Kenyon Sadiq, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Burrow, and the board ranks him 149th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

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.

The market-based projection for Joe Burrow is 0.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 0 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

This season through Week 7

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.

Their 2025 seasons

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

In 2025 Joe Burrow played 8 games and scored 139.5 PPR points, 17.4 a game, finishing QB29.

He threw for 1809 yards on 259 attempts with 17 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, and ran for 41 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 32.4 attempts a game at 7.0 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 86 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Kenyon Sadiq is a tight end and Joe Burrow a quarterback, 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 Joe Burrow in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.
