New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor recorded five catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 21-year-old has now hauled in 29 catches for 242 yards and a score on 42 targets across the first eight games of his NFL career. Taylor has emerged as the number two option in the Jets' passing game behind star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee), earning at least five targets in five out of his last six games played. Given New York's struggles as a passing offense, that still leaves Taylor with a relatively limited ceiling as a fantasy tight end. Further complicating matters, the Jets have their bye in Week 9. However, Taylor has shown enough that he could be worth stashing through the bye in deeper fantasy leagues.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals despite being listed as questionable. Taylor missed practice on Thursday before returning in a limited capacity on Friday. The rookie has appeared in all six games this season, catching 24 passes for 208 yards and zero touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE22 in PPR leagues. Taylor has played at least 93 percent of the snaps in each of his last two games, but he has caught just four passes in that span as the Jets continue to struggle on both sides of the ball. As long as New York continues to operate as the worst team in the NFL, Taylor will have a reduced ceiling and very low floor. That's unfortunate given that Taylor has a juicy matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Nevertheless, Taylor remains in the low-end TE2 tier for this week.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quad) is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He popped up on the injury report on Thursday and was able to get through a limited practice session on Friday. Barring any setbacks, Taylor should be out there for this weekend's matchup. Taylor could have a larger role than normal with the Jets shorthanded on offensive playmakers. If healthy, the rookie tight end makes for a possible flex play.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quad) could not come through for fantasy managers in last Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but will look to rebound in Week 8's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. The LSU product tied for the team lead in receptions (three) in their 13-6 loss. Although he could only record 31 yards as New York's offense bottomed out against an underrated Panthers defense. Taylor should have increased opportunity again, as in addition to wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) being ruled out for a second consecutive contest, Josh Reynolds (hip) is in danger of missing after a late-week hip injury. While it's unclear precisely who will quarterback for New York this weekend, the rookie is at least poised for a juicy matchup. He'll slot in as RotoBaller's PPR TE15 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (quadriceps) is considered questionable to play in Week 8 on Sunday versus the hosting Cincinnati Bengals, according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. However, head coach Aaron Glenn feels that Taylor is trending in the right direction to be active on Sunday. It sounds like the 21-year-old should be able to suit up this weekend, but fantasy managers will want to check back on New York's game-day inactive on Sunday morning just to be sure. With top receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) missing a second straight game, Taylor figures to be heavily involved in the passing game on Sunday if he's active. In last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers, with Wilson out, Taylor caught three of his five targets for 31 yards. The matchup is a good one against Cincy's defense, but the problem for Taylor is that the Jets' passing game has been almost non-existent this year, and they could be turning to veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) in Week 8.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (quad) missed his team's Thursday practice due to a quad injury, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Taylor is a new addition to the injury report, which is a concerning sign for his availability in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Taylor has recorded 24 catches for 208 yards on 34 targets through the first seven games of his NFL career. With star Jets wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) also questionable to play in Week 8, Taylor has a chance to be the team's number one option in the passing game against Cincinnati if healthy. Additionally, the Bengals have been one of the easiest matchups for opposing tight ends in fantasy so far this season. If Taylor can play, he profiles as a low-end fantasy starter in Week 8. If he's unable to go, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt (quad), and Jelani Woods are the likely candidates to log tight end snaps for the Jets against Cincinnati.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor bounced back a little bit from a one-catch game in London, hauling in three of his five targets on Sunday for 31 yards. The second-round pick played 93% of the snaps for the Jets and has been almost an every-down option for New York the last few weeks. With Garrett Wilson (knee) out, Taylor finished second on the team with five targets behind only Josh Reynolds, who drew nine targets from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback made the offense look great, but Taylor is involved enough to be worth a look if you need help from the waiver wire at tight end, especially if Wilson is out another week. Taylor and the 0-7 Jets visit the Bengals this week before their Week 9 bye week. The Bengals have been the most generous matchup in the NFL for tight ends this season, so Taylor has upside to consider as a one-week solution.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor is poised to see a more significant target share this weekend when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers. The LSU alum's usage was trending in the right direction over the previous few weeks, but his production bottomed out in a tough matchup with the Broncos in London. Although that isn't prescriptive moving forward, it's a firm reminder of the floor of the Jets' passing offense. Taylor will look to put last weekend's performance in the past, and figures to absorb a few extra looks with the news that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) might miss Sunday's contest. If that comes to fruition, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 21-year-old make a sizable impact. Even if Wilson suits up, it's likely he does so at less than 100%, giving Taylor a slightly higher fantasy floor. He's a high-end TE2 and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR TE16 for his outing with the Panthers.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor failed to make an impact in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in London, reeling in his lone target for a gain of two yards. New York's offense was non-existent in Week 6, as quarterback Justin Fields failed to net a positive passing figure (-10) in an outing to forget. In turn, Taylor, like the other Jets' skill players, never got a chance to get going. Despite the down week, fantasy managers may not want to give up hope on the rookie just yet. Fourth-year pro wideout Garrett Wilson's (knee) status for the team's meeting with the Carolina Panthers in Week 7 is in doubt due to a hyperextended knee, leaving Taylor with a strong chance to see an increase in usage. The 21-year-old's fantasy floor is alarmingly low, but he should rack up a fair share of the vacant targets if Wilson is inactive next weekend.

Rookie tight end Mason Taylor and the New York Jets offense will be tested in Week 6 when they face a staunch Denver Broncos defense in London. The LSU product is an ascending asset in the Jets' pass attack, racking up an impressive 19 targets (14/132) over the previous two contests - the most of any New York receiver. It's an encouraging sign for his outlook moving forward, but fantasy managers may want to exercise caution slotting him into their lineups for the team's bout with Denver's defense. The Broncos are more beatable through the air than on the ground, but are still affording opposing tight ends an average of just four receptions and 42.6 yards per game - the seventh- and eleventh-fewest marks in the league. Taylor figures to get a sizable target share. Still, his production is primarily tied to Fields' performance against a durable Denver D. The 21-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR TE14 for Sunday's slate of action.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor has emerged over the past few weeks as the team's No. 2 option in the passing game behind wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Over his last three games, Taylor has recorded 18 catches for 150 yards on 25 targets, bringing his season-long totals to 20 catches for 175 yards on 28 targets. The 21-year-old will now face one of the NFL's best pass defenses in Week 6 when the Jets travel to London to take on the Denver Broncos. Denver ranks 10th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.6), and has allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns (four) through five games. Taylor could continue to see a decent number of targets from quarterback Justin Fields, but this could be a difficult week for him to turn those targets into production. Taylor profiles outside the top 12 at the tight end position in Week 6 against Denver and should be avoided by fantasy managers where possible.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor has quickly become a main part of the team's passing game, and the rookie tight end is worth a look in almost all fantasy formats due to the volume he has been getting. The second-round pick out of LSU has been the team's top pass-catching tight end all season, but he had just two catches on three targets in his first two games. Since then, though, he has 18 catches on 25 targets over three weeks for a total of 150 yards. Taylor set career-highs with nine catches on 12 targets for 67 yards against the Cowboys in Week 5, pacing the team in catches and targets as the team tried to scramble back against Dallas. The 0-5 Jets have had to play from behind a lot this year, and they'll take on the Broncos in the morning game from London in Week 6. Taylor can definitely be a strong TE1 option for as long as he keeps getting so much volume.

Dynasty | Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor had nine catches for 67 yards in a loss to the Cowboys. Dynasty Analysis: It's completely and totally fair to call the Jets the worst team in football. After all, they're the only team to have failed to win a game this year and have an unhealthy point differential of -45 on the season. Still, Taylor has been a bright spot lately and while he has yet to cash in with a touchdown, he does have 14 catches over his past two games, putting him squarely on the dynasty radar. He's clearly moving up the dynasty and rookie rankings.
