Stock Down: Despite having first-team reps all summer while Kenyon Sadiq worked his way back from surgery, Taylor had an objective disappointment with two catches for -2 yards and a drop that should have been called a fumble; on a critical 19-play drive, an untimely false start turned a 3rd and 1 into 3rd and 6, converting what looked like a touchdown drive into a field goal; the source still expects Taylor and Sadiq as consistent options but notes this past Sunday was not a good game for the sophomore tight end.

Taylor had an objective disappointment in his game, posting two catches for -2 yards and a drop that should've been called a fumble. With the advantage of first-team reps all summer while Sadiq worked his way back from surgery, the source was expecting Taylor to be the clear TE1 in the early weeks of the season. On a critical 19-play drive, Taylor committed a false start on 3rd and 1 that turned it into 3rd and 6, turning what looked like a touchdown drive into a field goal.

PositiveBreakoutSep 3, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Taylor's rookie season was severely hampered by poor quarterback play and a dismal offense—his only touchdown catch as a rookie was thrown by running back Breece Hall. This season presents a massive opportunity with Geno Smith at quarterback and Frank Reich as offensive coordinator. Taylor has been making highlight-reel catches in training camp and has improved his catch ability, yards after the catch, and blocking consistency, positioning him for a significant second-year breakout.

Geno Smith expressed confidence in Taylor's long-term trajectory, saying 'he's a guy who I think is going to be a great player in this league for a long time.' Smith highlighted Taylor's reliability as a safety net, great hands, excellent route running, physical blocking ability, and noted that as a second-year player, Taylor will continue to improve. The two spent 60-90 minutes working out together three to four days a week in the offseason in South Florida to build chemistry and get on the same page regarding Smith's preferences from his tight ends.

PositiveRoleSep 3, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Taylor has been a standout performer in training camp despite the Jets drafting tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round, raising questions about his role. Coach Aaron Glenn praised Taylor's improvement in catching ability and yards after the catch, noting he made unbelievable catches in camp and improved his blocking consistency. Glenn emphasized Taylor is still growing and learning what his body can do. Taylor's confidence has grown in his second year, with everything slowing down for him after a fast rookie season; he's been able to dial in on specific improvements and build consistency through daily reps and joint practices.
