Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,234
Range 2,961–3,234
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Listed as the lead with the touches — score stepped up for that role, not to the previous starter's price.
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sadiq caught 14 passes for 146 yards in 2026, ranking TE22 through 5 games. He's 22 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
