2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nnadi will likely play a rotational role on the interior of the Jets' defensive line in 2025, with no clear starter at defensive tackle next to three-time Pro Bowler Quinnen Williams. Nnadi has missed only one game in his seven-year NFL career, but he had only 11 tackles as a depth piece for the Chiefs last season. Read Past Outlooks

IDP
Signed a contract with the Jets in March of 2025.
Re-ignited by return trade
Nnadi ended the 2025 season with 16 tackles, including 10 solo tackles, over 15 games.
ANALYSIS
Nnadi signed a one-year contract with the Jets, but he ended up being traded back to the Chiefs before the start of the regular season for a conditional 2027 draft-pick swap. Finding himself back in familiar circumstances, the defensive tackle was able to log five more tackles (seven more solo tackles) than in the 2024 regular season. The 29-year-old was able to prove he can still be an effective run defender at this stage of his career, and he will surely be an attractive target for any team looking for a cost-effective lineman familiar with 4-3 defenses.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

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.
