Should I start Kenyon Sadiq or Jordan Mason in Week 7?

Updated Oct 22, 4:46 AM ET.

Start Jordan Mason: 45 percent of the snaps and 48 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kenyon Sadiq's 35 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets. 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 size316 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 142nd overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jordan Mason, and the board ranks him 144th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Kenyon Sadiq's market-based projection is 5.8 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 126th highest figure of the 215 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jordan Mason is 2.9 PPR points a game off 1 market across 3 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

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

This season so far

Through Week 6, Kenyon Sadiq has been on the field for 40 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 14 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 5 of the offence's 43 third down targets, had 1 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 31 two minute targets.

His 24 targets have averaged 5.8 air yards.

In Week 4 against CHI he caught 0 of 4 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

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

Through Week 1, Jordan Mason has been on the field for 45 percent of MIN snaps, taken 48 percent of the carries, drawn 0 percent of the targets and had 31 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 10 third down targets and had 1 of its 2 chances inside the five.

In Week 1 against GB he carried 15 times for 59 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

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

In 2025 Jordan Mason played 16 games and scored 128.9 PPR points, 8.1 a game, finishing RB36.

He carried 159 times for 758 yards and 6 touchdowns, and caught 14 of 16 targets for 51 more yards.

That came to 9.9 carries a game at 4.8 yards a carry and 0.9 catches a game.

He was on the field for 44 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

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

Jordan Mason is listed as ir on the injury report.

What would change the answer

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