Trends

"Taylor was selected by the Jets in the second round of April's draft. He posted poor marks in YPT (7.2) and YPRR (1.20) across his 38 collegiate games, but Jason's son did catch 36-plus passes in all three seasons. Taylor is one of the youngest (21) tight ends in this class and may require some development, but he's also well positioned for a sizable Year 1 role with Jeremy Ruckert as his top competition for the starting job, not to mention the Jets' lack of depth at wide receiver. It wouldn't be a shock if Taylor finished 2025 second to only Garrett Wilson in targets, so even in what will be a low-volume passing game with Justin Fields under center, Taylor is a fine late-round dart throw in deeper leagues."

"Taylor didn't see a significant change in production as the Jets benched Justin Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor (no relation to Mason) at quarterback. Tyrod will likely remain the starter against the Falcons in Week 13. The Jets' rookie tight end has recorded at least three catches in four of the past five games, and that stretch includes Taylor's lone touchdown catch."
