How Much Dynasty Value Will Mason Taylor Hold After Offensive-Heavy Draft?
2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor showed some promising moments in his rookie season with the New York Jets on his way to amassing 369 yards on 44 receptions. However, with the Jets' selection of tight end Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Taylor could now be on a path toward fantasy hardship, similar to the one seen by the Raiders' Michael Mayer. While Sadiq does not come into the league with the college resume of Raiders 2024 first-round pick Brock Bowers, he put on a clinic at the NFL Combine and is expected to claim the top tight end spot in New York. With the league trending toward more 12 and 13 personnel, Taylor will still have his opportunities in Frank Reich's tight end-friendly offense, but having forced zero missed tackles as a rookie, his skill set is not one that can necessarily translate to fantasy success without an abundance of volume. The Jets also spent their third of three first-round picks on receiver Omar Cooper Jr., who occupies a similar area of the field and will make a reliable target share even harder to come by. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE23, Taylor is still a worthwhile hold who could step into the occasional spike week as an injury replacement, but as long as Sadiq is healthy, it will be difficult to trust the 22-year-old second-year player out of LSU.
