March 16, 2025
Nnadi is signing with the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Nnadi has been incredibly durable so far in his career, playing in all 17 regular-season games each of the past four seasons and missing just one contest overall during seven campaigns with the Chiefs. However, he saw a reduced role last year, logging career-low marks with 215 defensive snaps and 11 tackles. With his move to the Jets, Nnadi should have an opportunity to receive more work, though he could compete with fellow new signee Byron Cowart to start next to Quinnen Williams (hamstring) at defensive tackle.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2021
2020
Nnadi didn't post the best campaign of his career in 2023 and graded out as the team's worst defensive lineman, per PFF, but he still snared a one-year, $2 million contract from the Chiefs to stick around in K.C. for at least one more year. Nnadi finished the regular season with 29 tackles (16 solo) and a sack but missed the team's playoff run due to injury. He'll presumably continue to see regular action in 2024, though Tershawn Wharton may continue to siphon away some snaps beside Chris Jones.
Entering his sixth year with the Chiefs, Nnadi is slated to retain his starting defensive tackle role. The 27-year-old recorded 25 total tackles while playing in all 17 regular season games in 2022.
Nnadi closed out 2020 with 47 tackles (24 solo) but has compiled just one sack in his three seasons in the league. While he should remain involved in the interior line rotation, Nnadi figures to lose some snaps in 2021 following the team's offseason addition of Jarran Reed.
Nnadi clearly doesn't hold the same fantasy value at defensive tackle as star teammate Chris Jones, but he did finish 2019 with 48 tackles (18 solo), a sack and an interception. Nnadi should continue to cause his own problems along the defensive front with the majority of last season's line set to return.
