Mason Taylor practised in full Thursday after a limited practice Wednesday with a back injury. He carries no game status and should play his usual role Sunday at Kansas City.

Taylor remains the Jets' top tight end target and faces a defence that has allowed 14.4 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 5th most of 32. He has averaged 10.5 half-PPR points a game over his last three games with a 19 per cent target share and 60 per cent of snaps, making him a streaming option in deeper formats.

Mason Taylor

Taylor caught three passes for 19 yards on five targets in Week 8 against Las Vegas, playing on 61 per cent of snaps for 3.4 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he has averaged 10.5 half-PPR points with 5.7 targets and four catches for 38 yards a game on 60 per cent of snaps. His 19 per cent target share over that window is above his season average, and he leads Jets tight ends in both targets and snaps. Kenyon Sadiq and Jelani Woods saw two targets and none respectively in Week 8, giving Taylor clear priority in the passing game.

Our models give him a 26 per cent air yards share (3rd of 110 tight ends) over his last three games. He is scoring 1.8 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over that window (17th of 101 tight ends), which suggests some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. Kansas City has allowed 14.4 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 5th most of 32, making this a favourable spot. Add Taylor as a streaming option in deeper leagues where tight end options are thin.

What to do

• Add Mason Taylor in deeper formats as a streaming tight end for Week 9 against Kansas City.

• Start Taylor if you need a tight end replacement in leagues with 14 or more teams.

• Keep Taylor on benches in shallower formats where better options are available.
