        Mason Taylor Becomes the New TE for the New York Jets

        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.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Taylor's two-way ability as a blocker and productive pass catcher makes him a likely starting TE as a rookie for the Jets.

        With Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson, Taylor will sit as a potential TE2 as a rookie who could have some spike games.

        Dynasty Impact

        Taylor has a great long term outlook for the Jets.

        He should step in as the starting TE and has upside in the red zone.

        With the lack of WR depth, Taylor becomes the potential second target for the Jets.

        He will likely be a second round pick in rookie drafts.
