Surging Red-Zone Role Puts Mason Taylor on the Streaming Radar vs. Raiders

Mason Taylor has emerged as the Jets' primary tight end, carrying significant momentum into Week 8 following his two-touchdown performance against Miami. Over his last two games, the second-year target has hauled in nine of 12 targets for 95 yards, establishing himself as a reliable red-zone threat for Geno Smith.

Fantasy managers are catching on, pushing his roster percentage up to 16%. In a favorable home matchup against Las Vegas, our weekly projections target 3.3 receptions, 29 yards, and 8.2 fantasy points, positioning him as a strong streaming candidate or deep-league starter with touchdown upside.

Jaylen Waddle Active Against Kansas City — Volatile Flex Option in Divisional Clash

Jaylen Waddle is active for Sunday's divisional battle against the Chiefs despite dealing with an aggravated chest injury. Operating as a starting outside receiver opposite Courtland Sutton, Waddle has earned steady volume with 14 targets over his past two games, though lingering ailments have limited his explosive playmaking ability.

Fantasy trust has cooled with his start rate dropping to 37%, and a modest projected game total against a tough Kansas City defense limits upside. Our projection expects roughly 3 receptions for 33 yards, making him a matchup-dependent flex option who carries re-injury risk alongside his home-run potential.
