Jets' Mason Taylor: One catch in loss
Taylor recorded one catch for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.
Even with Garrett Wilson (concussion) inactive, Taylor's two targets were his fewest in a game since Week 2, and he left that one early with a thumb injury. It was Kenyon Sadiq who had Geno Smith's eyes against Kansas City, as the rookie tight end recorded four grabs for 49 yards on four targets. Taylor is more of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option at the position.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Back practicing in full
Taylor (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Taylor was limited Wednesday, but his return to full Thursday puts him on track for his normal role Sunday against the Chiefs. The tight end has been a surprisingly big part of the passing offense this season despite the selection of Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of April's Draft. Taylor has secured 17 of 23 targets for 136 yards and two touchdowns across six games.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Limited to begin Week 9 prep
Taylor was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.
Since sitting out Weeks 3 and 4 due to a thumb injury, Taylor has played north of 50 percent of the snaps on offense in each of the Jets' last four games, cobbling together a 15-138-2 receiving line on 20 targets over that stretch. Provided the back issue doesn't prevent him from practicing Thursday and Friday, Taylor should be able to handle his usual role this Sunday in Kansas City.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Three grabs against Las Vegas
Taylor caught three of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
It was a step back for Taylor after he caught all five of his targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Dolphins, but he still remained the top tight end in the pecking order. Taylor out-targeted Kenyon Sadiq five to two and ran 19 routes to the rookie's 15 on Geno Smith's 35 dropbacks. Taylor is a touchdown-reliant TE2 for fantasy purposes.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Two TDs in Week 7
Taylor caught all five of his targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns while adding a two-point conversion in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Taylor bookended the scoring for the Jets. He got New York on the board with a 13-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and rounded out the scoring in the fourth with a 12-yard touchdown reception and the ensuing two-point conversion. The 2025 second-round pick entered Sunday's action with just one touchdown in 17 career regular-season appearances, but Taylor posted the best performance of his young career while outplaying 2026 first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq, who had just one catch for six yards. Taylor will continue to face competition for targets from Sadiq, as well as the wide receiver trio of Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell, in Week 8 against the Raiders.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Secures four catches in loss
Taylor caught four of six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.
Taylor put together his best performance of the year, setting new season highs in catches, yards and targets. The tight end has now caught nine of 12 targets for 55 yards over four games this season. With rookie Kenyon Sadiq also heavily involved at tight end, Taylor's upside will continue to be hard to gauge moving forward.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Green light to return for Week 5
Taylor (thumb) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor strung together a trio of full practices, and the second-year rookie has been cleared to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a thumb injury. He saw just three targets through the first two games of the regular season, whereas rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq has turned 18 targets from QB Geno Smith into a 12-143-1 receiving line across four games. That said, both of the Jets tight ends could find success against a Browns defense that ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Churns out full practice
Taylor (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Taylor didn't practice in any fashion and sat out for both of the Jets' past two games due to the thumb injury, but he appears to be close to 100 percent ahead of Sunday's contest against the Browns after operating with no restrictions to kick off Week 5 prep. The second-year tight end paced Jets tight ends in snaps through the first two weeks of the season, but he may have to settle for a lesser role upon his return. Rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq -- who handled light workloads the first two weeks after missing much of training camp and the preseason while recovering from hernia surgery -- has seen his snap counts ramp up over the past two weeks while Taylor was sidelined and produced a 7-105-1 receiving line on 12 targets during that stretch. Sadiq now looks poised to operate as the Jets' top option at tight end ahead of Taylor moving forward.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Back at practice Wednesday
Taylor (thumb) will practice Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Taylor has missed the past two games with his thumb issue but appears to be tracking toward a Week 5 return against the Browns. He's way off the fantasy radar, and Taylor's return likely wouldn't have much of an effect on rookie Kenyon Sadiq's pass-catching role, as Taylor is more of the in-line blocker at the position for New York.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Ruled out for Week 4
Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Taylor remained out of practice this week and will miss a second straight game. Provided he's healthy enough to play, Kenyon Sadiq (back) should handle more of the workload at tight end once again for the Jets after he secured seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown last Sunday against Detroit.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Sits out another practice
Taylor (thumb) didn't practice Thursday.
Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, head coach Aaron Glenn labeled Taylor as week-to-week Wednesday, so it comes as little surprise that the second-year tight end wound up sitting out practice for the second day in a row. Unless Taylor is unexpectedly able to return to the practice field in some fashion Friday, he'll likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago.
