Does Mason Taylor Have Breakout Potential in 2026?
New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) saw his rookie season get cut short by a neck injury that caused him to miss the final four games of 2025. However, the 21-year-old showed some encouraging flashes before getting hurt, recording 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games. While Taylor's numbers might not jump off the page, it's important to remember that he was mired in a brutal offensive environment in New York that featured journeymen quarterbacks Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor as its starters for much of the year. Former Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith currently projects as the Jets' starter heading into 2026, which could at least bring some stability to the position, if not high-end production. Outside of star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee), Taylor may be the favorite to finish second on the Jets in targets and receptions in 2026. His upside is still limited by the questionable situation around him in New York, but Taylor could be an undervalued tight end option for dynasty managers to target.
