TE Mason Taylor, NYJ (1 Viewer)

You guys are talking tacos and I'm just worried about how much losing AVT will impact him?

I was emailing a friend of mine last night and one of the things I said was Mason Taylor is probably my most important player for my fantasy season.

I'm highly invested in him so wheels up rooting for him with you.

Honestly feel like I had a pretty good idea what the offense will look like.

I should have phrased this differently and said I know what they want the offense to look like, I should not have said I know what it actually will look like. That's a little different.

I think their offensive identity and where they want to go with ball is not much of a mystery but how it actually looked was, and still is, one of the more intriguing things of interest to me week one and early in the season. Obviously degree of difficulty just went up exponentially.

the only positive I can come up with is that supposedly OL prefer to run block and supposedly it is 'easier' than pass blocking and I use that word extremely loose because obv it isn't easy... but losing a stud OL is perhaps a bigger ding to the passing game than to the running game. and if their success is predicated on establishing the run, then maybe just maybe the passing game doesn't need to take as big of a hit. wishful thinking I know but yeah there is pretty much no way it makes their offense better. everything is still going to hinge on Fields finding his mojo.

umm 0?

I watched Lansky a couple days ago, he was like THE mobster of the 20th century and brokered the deal between the NY/NJ mob and the Office of Naval Intelligence that became OSS that became the CIA. The deal was to protect our harbors in that area from Nazis and well... nobody was better positioned to help than the mob.

The CIA in the 50s was Nixon's pet project as VP and it all intersected with the mob in Havana (which was all brokered by Lansky) and I can go on and on but no haven't watched any specifically CIA shows lately. And don't remember the last time I heard 'wheels up'. Maybe in Apollo 13 when Ken Mattingly is like nah that wasn't good enough let's run the sim again and Jim Lovell is like ok but we're wheels up at 6am.

You asked you shall receive. And if you wanna play the Kevin Bacon game I've already won.

This Mason Taylor I can't help but derail it

LOL

The term "Wheels Up" never really heard until I watched
Lioness, The Agency, now...The Recruit...all CIA and for the most part they are the only ones that use it

Little bit of Reacher too


But back to Mason Taylor - I agree with anyone that says he is gonna be the #2 option in this

B/c Justin Fields just makes TE's better!!

Criminal Minds was FBI BAU division if you somehow missed that show. Was pretty solid entertainment and had heavy usage of wheels up.

speaking of criminal minds, this Mason Taylor is a steal in all formats

I hope you're right. He's my TE2 in my 12 team 2 TE league.

Leaned hard into zero TE and he currently sits all alone in my starting TE slot. My theory is that I'll be in the best position to act on the week 1 waiver free agent that nobody is willing to buy into after one week.


Is Mason a fair enough desperation play to get some targets in week 1? Schultz, Okonkwo, Geskicki, Theo Johnson, Juwan Johnson, Higbee, and Sanders are all projected for more points. I think I might like a few of those guys to slightly outproduce Taylor if I'm looking for disappointing TE production. Taylor offer enough out-of-the-gates ceiling to see what happens in week 1, or do I need to pivot?

 

[Instinctive]

I have him at a 19% target share. That's second on the team. 87 targets for 57/610/3. That would be TE24 for my model.

Would be a nice rookie season!

And nearly useless in fantasy

Like 99% of the rookie tight ends before him but…he has a chance for some upside considering the set up

 

[King of the Jungle]

Any updated thoughts on this guy? Early I know, but has the feeling of a typical rookie TE year.

so far nothing jumps out but keep in mind he had a bad ankle sprain in early August he still may be having issues with along with rookie TE syndrome - he does have a path as there are literally no other serious options for receptions than GW and Breece so if you could be patient he has upside.

Yes.

Negative update first. He will likely miss practice today for the same ankle that he miraculously recovered from so quickly in training camp. Not ideal but Glenn said they were managing it, did not get a sense he'd be missing this week but hate to see him dealing with anyhing.

Past that. BUY, BUY, BUY!!!!!

Forget the stat line of his first game.

We are seeing a ton of TE's, even kings like Bowers, getting pulled off the field for a large chunks of snaps in favor of better blocking Tight ends. In Taylor's first game he was as close to an everydown player at TE as exists in the league. In fact at halftime of their last game Taylor and McBride were the only two TE's in the league who had played every snap.

His route participation was 84%, one of the highest in the league for TE's as well as actual playing time which was 87.5%.

Again, a low stat line when the Jets offense only ran 25 pass routes but it will come, sooner then later, provided his ankle is fine.

To me he's like an opposite or reverse Dalton Kincaid who is a sub 50% snap guy, in the 60% route range but had a good game. I trust Taylor more for ROS then I do Kincaid. He's out there every snap and not as a blocker, the ball will eventually come his way. Just hope the ankle does not derail him.
