What happened: Sadiq earned the Week 3 Pepsi honor after topping 100 yards and scoring a touchdown on 58% of snaps. The former Oregon product was the No. 16 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Why it matters: Early production from a first-round pick adds another option while the backfield is thinned without its lead back. That workload shift gives Sadiq a larger share of touches in regular-season play.

By the numbers: Week 3: 100-plus yards, 1 touchdown, 58% snap share. Draft: No. 16 overall in 2026, Oregon.

What to watch: Watch whether his snap share climbs as October continues.
