Why Kenyon Sadiq
Sit· mediumRookie TE2 with athletic movement traits. Seam-stretching move piece behind the starter; blocking still developing.
39% snap share and 10% target share on an 18.0-point implied total — TE20 upside doesn't cover a part-time role as a 9.5-point dog.
- DET ranks 31 of 32 against TEs (one of the softer matchups, 2-game sample).
- Vegas implies 18.0 team points as 9.5-point underdogs.
- Listed TE on the latest depth chart with a 39% snap share.
The call
- Role is the problem: a 39% snap share and 10% target share over two games means Sadiq isn't even the full-time tight end, and 7.3 projected points is replacement-level at TE in 12-team PPR.
- The 18.0 implied total and 9.5-point spread cap the ceiling — Detroit games can force volume, but the projection already bakes in the chase script and still lands him at TE20.
- The DvP composite of 31 of 32 looks like a green light, but it comes from a 2-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so it isn't a reason to start a part-time rookie.
- Tips to a start only if Sadiq's snap share climbs toward full-time work or the depth chart in front of him thins out.

Why Marvin Harrison Jr.
SitWR1 and primary outside receiver. Polished route runner with elite catch-point ability; 2025 production capped by missed games.
Sit — WR30 consensus, projects WR69 this week: SF is the 6th-toughest matchup vs WRs, 17.5 implied team total caps the ceiling.

- Vegas implies 17.5 team points as 11.5-point underdogs.
- Listed WR-2 on the latest depth chart with a 77% snap share.
