The New York Jets (0-5) will host the Denver Broncos (3-2) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Mason Taylor.
Is Mason Taylor Playing in Week 6?
Taylor is no longer on the injury report and will play Week 6.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jets’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Mason Taylor in Week 6?
There are nine players in the entire NFL with more catches than Mason Taylor (18) over the past three weeks.
Not tight ends. Not players who hail from LSU. Nine. Total. Players.
That’s obviously not going to sustain, and garbage time certainly factored into his nine-catch Week 5, but outside of Garrett Wilson, what Jets pass catcher can you name?
During this stretch, the rookie has earned a target on 24% and has seen the vast majority (13) of his receptions come shy of the sticks. If he was Jameson Williams, I’d highlight a stat like that as a reason for concern, but for a 251-pound tight end playing in an offense with a sporadic passer?
Sign me up.
He’s sitting outside of my top 12 this week, but not by much. Zach Ertz and Juwan Johnson are on a lot of rosters at the moment, and I have them both looking up to Taylor in my Week 6 rankings.
