PositiveProjectionOct 31, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Last week, Taylor popped off with a two-touchdown performance and finished as the TE2 in weekly scoring behind only Trey McBride. Over the last two games, Taylor has had a 60.2% snap rate, a 56.1% route share, a 20% target share, 2.57 YPRR, four red zone targets, one deep target, and a 24.4% first-read share. The source projects he could keep the strong fantasy output going this week. Over the last five games, the Raiders have been hemorrhaging production to tight ends, giving up the second-most receiving fantasy points per game and the fifth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position; Taylor could be a TE1 again this week.

Mason Taylor faces the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, who have allowed an average of 8.2 receptions for 64.5 receiving yards, 1.3 touchdowns and 22.3 fantasy points per game to tight ends over the past six weeks, giving up 16.8+ fantasy points in 66.7% of contests, including over 24 fantasy points in two of their past three outings. The source notes Taylor is an under-the-radar starter in Week 8, though he likely won't score over 25 fantasy points for a second straight game.

NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Mason Taylor is three games back from injury with route rates of 63%, 70%, and 67%, showing a gradual return to full participation. He caught two touchdown passes last week, demonstrating promise in the Saints' tight end role. However, Ian Hartitz questions whether Taylor can be trusted for consistent production each week. Taylor was drafted with high early-season capital but early production has not justified the investment, raising questions about why the Saints prioritized him if they didn't commit to him as a featured target.

PositiveBreakoutOct 29, 2026Fantasy Life Articles
The Jets' 2025 Round 2 pick made two contested TD catches in Week 7. Since returning from injury, Taylor has led the TE room in route share (63%, 70%, 67%) and posted target shares of 21% and 23% over the last two games. While unlikely to reach 80-90% route share with Kenyon Sadiq on the roster, Taylor is a bet on ascending young talent. The Raiders have sanctioned the fourth-best boost to TEs (+5.7 PPG), so Taylor might stay hot. He is available in 99% of Yahoo leagues and 62% of FFPC leagues.

PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Taylor caught 5 of 6 for 62 yards and 2 TDs plus a two-point conversion (18.8% target share, unchanged) on 37 of 59 snaps (63%, up from 55%), owning a stable 18.8% share for the second straight week with the red-zone target lead and most snaps of any Jets tight end; in the last two weeks, his 12 targets and 20.7% target share are tied with Omar Cooper Jr. for the team lead while his 36.4% red-zone target share comfortably leads the Jets, with six targets in each of his last two games and receptions, yardage, and fantasy points increasing in each of his last four outings.

PositiveBreakoutOct 27, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Taylor delivered a huge Week 7 performance against Miami, catching five of his six targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns plus a successful two-point conversion. His performance wasn't entirely out of nowhere; since returning in Week 5, he had established himself ahead of rookie Kenyon Sadiq, running a route on 58.8% of dropbacks and commanding a 15% target share over his first two games back, while Sadiq had just 29.4% route participation. Taylor now faces the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, giving him a chance to build on his breakout. At just 1% rostered, he's almost certainly available and represents an excellent speculative addition for fantasy managers needing a Week 8 streamer and potentially someone who could become a more consistent fantasy contributor over the second half of the season.
