    Mason Taylor (thumb) did not practice Wednesday.

    Taylor, according to head coach Aaron Glenn, will “be just fine.” That could mean he’ll be ready for the Jets’ Week 3 game against the Lions. Through two games Taylor leads the team in tight end routes while rookie Kenyon Sadiq leads in tight end targets. Sadiq, being targeted on 17 percent of his routes, would be a nice streaming play in Week 3 if Taylor is sidelined.

    Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday morning that Taylor would miss Sunday’s game after being sidelined in practice throughout the week. It was reported on Tuesday that Taylor would be week-to-week with his injury, so it isn’t all to surprising to learn that he will be sidelined for this one. Taylor has -2 yards on two receptions this season and wouldn’t have been on the fantasy radar even if he was active.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    He’s considered week-to-week and didn’t practice on either of the first two days of the week. Taylor will likely be ruled out on Friday, opening the door for Kenyon Sadiq to see a workload elevation against the Lions.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor suffered a thumb injury in Week 2 against the Packers, which will seemingly sideline him for Week 3 and potentially longer. Taylor currently leads Jets tight ends with 78 offensive snaps. Losing for any amount of time elevates rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq to a more prominent role. Sadiq is worth adding in 12-team leagues at this time.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    Not only did Sadiq not make a huge impact on the field, but he also played fewer snaps and ran fewer routes than Mason Taylor. Sadiq is an incredibly athletic and talented rookie, but he’s also 21 years old and is going to need a while to adjust to the NFL game. His role will likely increase for the Jets as the year goes on, but he figures to be inconsistent in the early part of the season.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    Sadiq’s rushing score came on a first quarter end-around. This was a strong debut for the No. 16 overall pick, especially since Geno Smith attempted only 24 passes in an easy road victory. Awesome stuff, though Pro Football Focus did chart Sadiq as being easily out-snapped by Mason Taylor. It’s obviously promising that getting Sadiq the ball was a point of emphasis when he was on the field, but his No. 2 status in his own position group is going to make him a no-go in the top 12 for the time being.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    Sadiq practiced in full throughout the week. Even at full strength health-wise, Sadiq will likely open the year as a pass-catching specialist, with Mason Taylor taking on the traditional inline role. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich even said the team would “scale back” his workload early in the year. Sadiq is worth stashing in deeper leagues but isn’t on the fantasy radar for his NFL debut.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    Sadiq is not yet ready for fantasy football TE1 duties, but he appears to have recovered from the setback he suffered in his rehab related to a hernia back in August. The Jets published their Week 1 depth chart earlier today with Sadiq listed as the backup behind TE Mason Taylor.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor reportedly functioned as the Jets’ top tight end throughout training camp with Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) sidelined. Taylor, whose blocking ability recently drew praise from head coach Aaron Glenn, worked with Geno Smith two or three times a week in the offseason, developing chemistry with the veteran journeyman. Last year Taylor saw a target on 20 percent of his routes and logged a lowly 1.11 yards per route run in the low-octane New York offense. He’ll be a sneaky deep league option in Week 1 against the Titans.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    “We’ll have to work him in slowly,” Reich concluded. Sadiq has plenty of upside, but it doesn’t sound like he needs to be on the redraft radar early in the year unless you play in a deep enough league to make stashing him worthwhile.
  • NYJ Running Back #20
    This comes a few hours after it was reported that Hall was “moving well” while participating in agility drills on the sideline. Hall suffered a groin injury last week and is expected to miss two or three weeks, but a return in time for Week 1 was always in the cards. Hall is one of several players Glenn is hoping to have back in time for Week 1. He also said he expects TE Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) and CB D’Angelo Ponds (calf) to be ready for Week 1. Hall is in the mix as a fringe RB1/RB2 this season and is expected to handle another heavy workload in his fifth season.

    Jalen Coker (ankle) was seen practicing on Friday.

    We’ll get an official status update on Coker shortly, but according to Panthers writer Joe Person, Coker “looked good running routes” during the media portion of practice. Coker was listed as limited during Wednesday’s practice and is dealing with the same ankle injury he played through last week. The fact that he was able to get on the practice field Friday is a good sign for his Week 3 availability against the Browns.

    Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said he expects WR Chris Bell (knee) to play in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

    Bell said Thursday that he expects to play, but Hafley added to that expectation when speaking with the media Friday. The rookie third-rounder has drawn just three targets this season while running 31 routes, but he could see an uptick in targets with Caleb Douglas (ankle) officially ruled out. Bell will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR4 in an offense that currently ranks 30th in total pass attempts and 24th in passing yards.

    Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said Caleb Douglas (ankle) will not play in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

    Douglas wasn’t able to get on the practice field this week and will officially be sidelined in Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. The rookie receiver has caught seven passes for 110 scoreless yards this season and is second among Dolphins receivers with 10 targets. Rookie Chris Bell (knee) is expected to play and could see a slight increase in targets this week, but this is a tough group of pass-catchers to trust against a solid Chiefs defense.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports 49ers DE Nick Bosa will miss “a few weeks” after pulling his calf in Thursday’s practice.

    According to Schefter, the 49ers are deciding whether to place Bosa on injured reserve. The 28-year-old pass-rusher has yet to register a sack in his two games played this season and has tallied two sacks in five games since 2025. It’s just the latest in a string of injuries that has plagued Bosa in recent years. If he lands on injured reserve, the earliest he would be eligible to return is in Week 7 against the Falcons.

    ESPN’s Rich Cimini said it “sounds like there’s some concern” over Adonai Mitchell’s finger injury.

    Mitchell popped up as a limited participant on Thursday’s injury report, and while we don’t have the specifics, Cimini’s report is a bit concerning ahead of Week 3’s game against the Lions. Mitchell popped up for 12 targets in last week’s loss to the Packers and is firmly on the streaming radar against a Lions defense that has struggled out of the gate, but we’ll have to see if he can at least get a questionable tag entering the weekend in order to have any confidence heading into Sunday. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Mitchell will be limited in Friday’s practice and that the injury came after his finger got caught in a jersey. We should have a better sense of his availability when the team releases its final injury report later in the day.

    ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports Jaxson Dart (knee) will undergo surgery on Friday.

    According to Raanan, the belief is that Dart will have surgery to repair his meniscus and MCL. The second-year quarterback is looking at a 4-6 month recovery period after his surgery, which will sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. Head coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Dart could return in the postseason if Jameis Winston pulls off the unthinkable and leads the G-Men to their first playoff berth since 2022.

    Speaking on 106.7 The Fan’s The Sports Junkies, Commanders GM Adam Peters said: “As of right now, surgery is not on the table (for Jayden Daniels), and we have not discussed IR.”

    Peters clarified that this is the plan for Daniels right now, adding that he only recently returned to the team after meeting with several experts. That said, when considering that a stint on the IR would require Daniels to miss at least four games, it would be safe to assume that the team is hoping for a speedy recovery that wouldn’t require him to miss more than three games, putting him on a week-to-week timetable to return. Daniels has already been ruled out for Week 3’s game against the Seahawks and could also be a long shot to play in Week 4’s game against the Colts in London. Daniels will likely wear a brace for the remainder of the season in hopes of stabilizing his elbow, which he first dislocated last season in Week 9. Marcus Mariota will draw the start this week and threw for 1,695-10-7 in 11 games last season.

    Tucker Kraft caught 4-of-8 targets for 26 yards in the Packers’ Week 3 loss to the Falcons.

    Kraft has not yet looked himself after recovering from a torn ACL suffered in 2025, this time committing two drops for the first time in his career. To add additional context, Kraft has never had more than three drops in an entire season entering his fourth year in the league. The game plan clearly consisted of getting Kraft involved early to circumvent the offensive line struggles, but the connection with Jordan Love was off throughout. Kraft appears likely to need time to get back to full speed for the Packers, although his snaps and route participation rate were back to normal for the second consecutive week. Fantasy managers are likely forced to ride through the turbulence considering the state of the tight end position throughout the league, but he is a shaky start ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Buccaneers.

    Christian Watson caught 7-of-10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 3 loss to the Falcons.

    Watson now has four touchdowns through three games while ranking one target behind Matthew Golden for the team lead at 29. Even better news for fantasy managers is the fact that we’re likely to see this sudden spike in pass volume continue forward given the current state of the Green Bay backfield and offensive line, meaning fantasy managers can continue to start Watson as a legitimate WR1 ahead of a road meeting with the pass-funnel Buccaneers in Week 4.
