Mason Taylor Fantasy Stats

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor's rookie campaign will end with four straight missed games due to a neck injury. Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Taylor didn't have a setback with his injury. "Doctor's orders," Glenn said. Jelani Woods (hamstring) will also be out for the Jets this weekend, so Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt will compete for pass-catching duties at TE for the team in the final game of the season. The 21-year-old will wrap up his first year in the NFL with 44 receptions on 65 targets for 369 yards and one touchdown. Taylor wasn't really relevant in 12-team fantasy leagues, and his outlook moving forward will all depend on the Jets' plans at quarterback.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) was unable to practice again on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor has yet to practice this week and hasn't played since suffering a neck injury back in Week 14. With the Jets having nothing to play for to close out the season, the 21-year-old is probably a long shot to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. It's looking like Taylor will finish his first year in the NFL with 44 receptions for 369 yards and one touchdown on 65 targets. It didn't help the first-rounder's cause that the Jets got poor play from the quarterback position all year long. Fantasy managers will want to continue ignoring the tight end position in New York for the final week of the regular season.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Taylor has missed three consecutive games after suffering a neck injury in Week 14's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is trending in the wrong direction to open the practice week ahead of the regular-season finale against the Buffalo Bills. The rookie second-rounder has had a solid first campaign, snagging 44 of his 65 targets for 369 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. The 21-year-old tight end is likely to be held out again with the Jets having nothing to play for this weekend, setting up Jeremy Ruckert, Jelani Woods, and Stone Smartt to handle the tight end reps in Week 18. None of the three project to be relevant for fantasy purposes.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) will be unavailable for Sunday's divisional clash with the visiting New England Patriots. The rookie is set to miss his third straight game after suffering a neck injury in Week 14's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. Unfortunately for Taylor, he's yet to log even a limited practice since picking up the issue. With the 21-year-old missing again, teammate Jeremy Ruckert will play a majority of snaps at the position for Gang Green, while Jelani Woods and Stone Smartt mix in behind him. None of them projects to be particularly involved enough to matter for fantasy.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Taylor has missed each of the last two games due to a neck injury. He's trending in the wrong direction to begin the week as the Jets head into their final home game against the New England Patriots in Week 17. The Jets have been using a committee approach between Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt, and Jelani Woods over the last two games with Taylor sidelined. Ruckert has at least two receptions in four straight games, while Smartt caught five passes last week. Neither of these players should be considered viable options in 12-team fantasy formats ahead of Week 17. Fantasy managers should be preparing to be without Taylor for a third straight game this weekend.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) is expected to return for Week 17's home matchup with the New England Patriots. The 21-year-old has been labeled as a non-participant at practice ever since injuring his neck during New York's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins in Week 14. It's unfortunate news for Taylor, who has been decent in his first season despite a mostly dysfunctional offense around him. With the rookie missing another contest, teammate Jeremy Ruckert will assume duties as Jets' TE1, and Jelani Woods, Andrew Beck, and Stone Smartt will mix in behind him. As it stands, Ruckert shouldn't be considered for fantasy, even in a decent outing with the hosting New Orleans Saints.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for a second straight game for Week 16 action against the hosting New Orleans Saints, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor suffered a neck injury in the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins, when he had five catches for 51 yards. The 21-year-old's next chance to play will come in a Week 17 divisional contest against the visiting New England Patriots. Jeremy Ruckert, who just signed a two-year, $10 million extension with the Jets on Wednesday, will make a second straight start for Gang Green as their top pass-catching TE against the Saints in the Big Easy. Ruckert caught both his targets for 13 yards in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should be able to find much better streaming options at the position. Taylor has averaged 5.0 half-PPR fantasy points per game in 13 contests in 2025, making him the TE35.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) won't be available for Sunday's road clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The 21-year-old sustained a neck injury in last weekend's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins that caused him to begin the week with two DNPs at practice. It will be the first missed game of the LSU product's career. Taylor isn't the only starter the Jets will be missing in Week 15, as rookie signal-caller Brady Cook will get the start in veteran Tyrod Taylor's (groin) stead. With Taylor out, fellow tight end Jeremy Ruckert will slot in as the team's first option at the position. Andrew Beck and Stone Smartt (concussion) figure to rotate in behind him.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) did not practice on Thursday in preparation for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was the second day in a row that the rookie tight end was sidelined. Taylor has not yet missed a game this season, but it looks like he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest in Florida. He picked up the injury last week against the Miami Dolphins when he played just 68% of the offensive snaps but still caught five of his eight targets for 51 yards. The 21-year-old ranks as the overall TE24 in PPR leagues this season, and he has been a matchup-based streamer in deeper leagues at times this season. If Taylor can't play in Week 15, Jeremy Ruckert would step up as the primary tight end in New York's Tyrod Taylor-led offense.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor apparently injured his neck in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and could be in danger of missing the Week 15 game this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 21-year-old led the Jets with five catches for 51 yards in Week 14. His 51 yards were the most he's had since catching a season-high nine passes on 12 targets for 67 yards back on Oct. 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. The second-round selection hasn't had much of a chance to be productive for fantasy managers in one of the worst passing offenses in the league. Taylor is the TE26 in half-PPR scoring in 2025 with 44 catches, 369 yards, and only one touchdown. He won't be a realistic starting option in most leagues in Week 15 if he's active, especially if undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook is forced to start.
