Mason Taylor fantasy outlook

Mason Taylor enters the 2026 season with NYJ and ranks TE32 and #212 overall in the current Gridiron Value projection. The model projects 77.2 PPR points across 14.4 games, or 5.3 points per game, placing the expected outcome in a lineup and depth tier. The preseason depth chart lists Mason Taylor as TE2, so the opportunity forecast is tied to that current role rather than name value alone.

Projection confidence is 45%, with a 5% modeled chance of a Top-24 positional finish. The main uncertainty is translating a limited NFL sample into a full-season role.

Mason Taylor is projected for 6.2 PPR points on the road at TEN in week 1, with a likely range of 0.0 to 16.5.
