Jets' Mason Taylor: Fifth straight practice absence
Mason Taylor (neck) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Taylor missed a fifth consecutive practice Thursday due to a neck injury, which kept him out of the New York Jets' Week 15 loss to Jacksonville.

Mason Taylor (neck) is listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Taylor didn't participate last week and apparently wouldn't have practiced Wednesday if the New York Jets had held a normal session. It's not looking great for Sunday's game at New Orleans, potentially giving Jeremy Ruckert another chance to fill in as the starting tight end.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Ruled out for Week 15
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn ruled Mason Taylor (neck) out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.Taylor was unable to practice in any fashion this week and now will miss his first game of the season as he tends to the neck injury. The timing of the absence is a tough break for Taylor, who had recorded five catches for 51 yards -- his most since Week 5 -- on eight targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. With Taylor sidelined this weekend, the Jets will likely turn to Jeremy Ruckert as their starting tight end.

Jets' Mason Taylor: DNP due to neck injury Wednesday
Mason Taylor (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.This is a new injury for Taylor, who was the New York Jets' leading receiver with five catches for 51 yards in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Leading receiver in Week 14 loss
Mason Taylor caught five of eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.Taylor led the New York Jets in catches and receiving yards while tying John Metchie for the team lead in targets. Rookie quarterback Brady Cook showed a nice connection with Taylor after replacing the injured Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half, so the rookie tight end's fantasy outlook is unlikely to be significantly impacted regardless of whether Cook, Tyrod or Justin Fields (knee) starts at quarterback in Week 15 against a Jaguars defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Two catches in win
Mason Taylor caught two of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.Taylor finished second on the team in receiving yards, though he was nowhere close to leading receiver Adonai Mitchell, who caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. The New York Jets don't generate much offense through the air, but Taylor reliably gets a few opportunities per game, as this was only the second time in the last six outings that the rookie second-round pick has been held short of three receptions. Up next for Taylor and the Jets is a Week 14 home game against the Dolphins.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Three catches with Tyrod at QB
Mason Taylor caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.Taylor didn't see a significant change in production as the New York 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.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Four-catch night in loss
Mason Taylor brought in all four targets for 30 yards in the New York Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.Taylor put a one-reception effort against the Browns on Sunday behind him with Thursday's performance, his third mult-catch tally in the last four games. The rookie's talent is unquestioned, but his game-to-game production is still subject to the whims of QB Justin Fields' passing performances. As such, Taylor will remain an unpredictable fantasy option in a tough Week 12 road matchup against the Ravens.

Jets' Mason Taylor: Two targets in run-heavy win
Mason Taylor caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.The only other New York Jets player with multiple targets in the game was Garrett Wilson (knee), who had three targets prior to exiting Sunday's win. Taylor has had an inconsistent rookie season, seeing two or fewer targets on four occasions and five or more targets five times. Given the Jets' lack of talent at wide receiver, Taylor could see a bump in volume if the Jets fall behind and pass more against the Patriots in Week 11.
