Outlook Mason Taylor
Sophomore Tight End Faces Crowded Target Hierarchy in New-Look Jets Offense
Mason Taylor enters his second season listed atop the Jets' depth chart after hauling in 47 receptions for 390 yards as a rookie. However, his target outlook is complicated after New York invested a first-round draft pick in athletic tight end Kenyon Sadiq to form a versatile two-tight-end set.
Draft sentiment has cooled significantly over the summer, with Taylor's ADP sliding from the mid-250s down past pick 330 as his roster rates dropped to 4%. Our projections forecast 42 catches for 375 yards and two touchdowns (96.0 PPR points), making his falling market cost an accurate gauge of a capped receiving ceiling.
Despite showing impressive camp highlights, Taylor must compete with Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall for volume in Geno Smith's passing attack. He remains off the standard 12-team redraft radar, profiling strictly as a deep-league stash or early-season waiver watch.

Outlook Elijah Arroyo
Deep Depth Chart Placement Keeps Fantasy Value Sidelined
Elijah Arroyo enters his second NFL season operating in a reserve role behind AJ Barner and Eric Saubert on Seattle's tight end depth chart. As a rookie in 2025, Arroyo saw sporadic involvement across 14 contests, turning 27 targets into 16 receptions for 184 yards and one touchdown.
Draft sentiment reflects this backup status, as Arroyo's ADP has plummeted from the mid-300s in mid-July down past pick 700 by late August. Fantasy managers in 1.0 PPR leagues have largely avoided drafting him, leaving his roster rate hovering around just two percent entering the regular season.
Our projections expect a similarly quiet campaign, estimating 20 receptions for 208 yards and two touchdowns for roughly 50.1 fantasy points. Unless injuries open up primary snaps, Arroyo should remain off redraft radars and is strictly a long-term stash in deep dynasty formats.
