Mason Taylor Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor has taken a step back in the team's offensive attack and is nothing more than a low-floor dart throw at the position for this weekend's outing with the visiting Miami Dolphins. The integration of wide receivers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell into the Jets' scheme has caused Taylor's opportunities to dial back significantly over the back half of the season. While quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been somewhat of a boon to New York's game plan, the added target threats have diminished the rookie's floor and ceiling. In addition, teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) could return as early as next Sunday, further dropping the rookie in the passing game hierarchy. Taylor's long-term outlook remains solid, but owners can look elsewhere for help at the position ahead of the fantasy playoffs. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for Week 14's matchup.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor's playing time in the offense has remained steady, but he hasn't been a big factor in the passing game lately. Since scoring his first touchdown of the season in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the rookie has recorded just 10 receptions for 76 yards on 15 targets in four games. The Jets' poor offensive environment limits his fantasy upside, and he's been overshadowed by the team's trade-deadline acquisitions of receivers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. The rookie second-rounder still has intriguing upside for the long term, but he will be tough to trust in fantasy lineups with the playoffs approaching in Week 15 in most leagues.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor has struggled to make an impact in recent weeks and is trending down ahead of a home matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Taylor began the season seemingly on the rise as a highly targeted asset in New York's offense. However, even wide receiver Garrett Wilson's (knee) extended absence hasn't been enough for the rookie to crack the startable options at his position. Wilson may be out with a knee injury, but new teammates Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III have immediately sucked up a sizable target share as the Jets' attack piles up more competent weapons. Taylor profiles to eventually be a reliable fantasy tight end, but the path to that outcome in 2025 is much more narrow at this time than it was earlier in the campaign. The LSU product is RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for Week 13's clash.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor isn't a favorable fantasy start for his outing against an improved Baltimore Ravens' defense. The LSU product had a three-game stretch earlier in the season in which he racked up an 18/150 line across 25 targets, although he's only commanded more than four once in the five games since. Furthermore, he's yet to top 34 yards in any of them, and has done so just twice in ten games. The change to Tyrod Taylor could breathe a breath of fresh air into a stagnant Jets' offense, but Baltimore has been stingy of late, and unkind to tight ends on the season as a whole - yielding the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (11.7). The rookie is still a nice long-term bet and a strong dynasty stash. However, his outlook in redraft leagues isn't as rosy. Taylor ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE21 ahead of his outing with Baltimore.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor was a disappointment in Week 10's win against the Cleveland Browns, hauling in 1-of-2 targets for a gain of four yards. Heading into the team's bye, the rookie had garnered five or more targets in five of six games. In fact, he recorded his second-highest target total of the season the week prior (eight). However, Taylor has followed 8- and 12-target outings with one-catch, single-digit yardage output. Naturally, the 21-year-old is experiencing NFL growing pains, although a struggling Jets' offense hasn't been an ecosystem conducive to success. With wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) facing an extended absence, it stands to reason that Taylor would absorb a higher target share. On the other hand, there's no guarantee New York won't again deploy a run-heavy attack. Taylor is a low-end streaming option, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for his week 11 matchup with a staunch New England Patriots' defense.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is ready to go for this Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Browns after a full week of practice. The 21-year-old headed into the team's bye week battling a quad issue, but he's all healed up for a clash with a staunch Browns' defense in Week 10. Taylor has dealt with inconsistencies this season, but has drawn a ton of targets in a Jets' offense bereft of weaponry. The addition of former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is sure to draw some looks away from the LSU product. However, the two figure to operate in different areas of the field, and it's unclear if Mitchell will play this weekend. Cleveland isn't a very friendly matchup in any aspect, although they've been more forgiving to tight ends over recent weeks. Either way, Taylor should work as a top two option, whether it's quarterback Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields calling signals. The rookie is RotoBaller's PPR TE21 for his outing with Cleveland.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is one of the best waiver wire pickups available this week, as he and the Jets return from their bye week. The second-round rookie went into the off week on a high note by snagging the game-winning pass (from RB Breece Hall) against the Bengals to secure the team's first win of the year. Taylor had five catches on eight targets in that game for 34 yards. He had at least three catches in five of his last six games before the bye, and posted over 60 yards in two of those games as well. The Jets could get Garrett Wilson (knee) back after a two-game absence, but even if that costs Taylor some targets, it raises the overall ceiling of the offense enough to still be a good thing for Taylor. While his quarterback play from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor has held him back, he's getting enough volume to be a good waiver wire add ahead of a stretch of favorable matchups against the Browns, Patriots, and Ravens in the next three weeks. He also has good fantasy football playoff matchups against the Dolphins, Jaguars, Saints, and Patriots for the final four games of the season.
