Mason Taylor Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jets TE Mason Taylor (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, putting his status for this weekend's game vs. the Bills in question. It's unclear if this ankle issue is related to the high-ankle sprain Taylor suffered in early August. The rookie caught his only target for 20 yards in the opener, but he registered a strong 84% route rate. That keeps Taylor on the fantasy radar, although he shouldn't be anywhere near your starting lineup this week.

Jets rookie TE Mason Taylor is expected to play a major role on offense this season, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

Jets TE Mason Taylor returned to practice on Tuesday and was moving well. The rookie ended up missing just one week with what HC Aaron Glenn labeled a high-ankle sprain. Taylor was off to a strong start before going down and should still be on track to open the season as New York's lead TE. He even has a chance to emerge as the No. 2 target in this passing game, although the fantasy upside is capped by what figures to be a run-heavy, Justin Fields-led offense.

Jets rookie TE Mason Taylor has a high ankle sprain and will miss at least a week, according to HC Aaron Glenn. Taylor is competing for the Jets’ starting job, and this type of injury could sideline him for the rest of training camp and preseason. Despite Glenn downplaying it, Taylor’s Week 1 status could be in doubt.

The Jets selected LSU TE Mason Taylor with the 42nd pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Taylor set LSU records for career catches (129) and receiving yards (1,308) by a TE. He contributed as a true freshman in 2022, finishing third on the Tigers with 38 catches and 414 yards – both ahead of sophomore WR Brian Thomas Jr. After posting a 36-348-1 line as a sophomore, Taylor set career highs with 55 catches and 546 yards this past year. Both marks ranked third on the team – although Taylor’s 11.1% Dominator Rating ranked just 17th among 21 TEs at the Combine. His 1.23 yards per route ranked 18th. And he scored only six career TDs at LSU (4.7% TD rate). Taylor’s production profile is good-not-great, but there’s still plenty to like here. He turns just 21 in May, earned an 8.89 Relative Athletic Score, and just got strong draft capital. There probably isn’t top-five fantasy upside here, but Taylor comes with a relatively high floor and could be a long-term lower-end TE1 for fantasy squads. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler comped him to Hunter Henry.

Former LSU TE Mason Taylor (and son of NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor) didn't work out at the Combine, but he did join the group for the on-field drills. Taylor came away with rave reviews including a stellar "Gauntlet" Drill where he showcased great catch technique along with superb hand-eye coordination. He is likely a top-100 pick in the NFL Draft.
