Mason Taylor Fantasy Stats

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that rookie second-round tight end Mason Taylor will immediately walk into the Jets building at the top of the tight end depth chart going into his rookie season in 2025. Jeremy Ruckert projects as the No. 2, but he has yet to make an impact since the Jets drafted him in 2022. The Jets are at least hoping he can take a step forward as a blocker and contribute in the running game. The 20-year-old Taylor not only will be a starter immediately, but he could see plenty of targets from quarterback Justin Fields in his first year in the NFL, giving him TE1 fantasy upside in 2025. Outside of WR1 Garrett Wilson, the Jets don't exactly star-studded receiving depth in Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard and Arian Smith. Taylor will have intriguing rookie upside, but he'll still be better off drafted as a TE2 sleeper than a staple for those in single-TE leagues.

Jets Add A Pass-Catcher With Mason Taylor At No. 42

The New York Jets added a solid pass-catching tight end in the second round by selecting Mason Taylor out of LSU. The 20-year-old racked up 546 yards and two touchdowns in 2024, which was his most productive year in college. He looks the part of an NFL tight end and showed great hands by dropping just one of his 79 targets in 2024 after struggling with drops earlier in his career. His route tree expanded as the year went on, and he picked up more looks further down the field, although he was never a major deep threat. He has TE2 upside since there aren't many other options at the position for the Jets, and Justin Fields has shown that he likes to connect on shorter passes over the middle to his tight end.
