The Tyler Conklin era is over in New York as the Jets look to revamp their tight end room heading into 2025. It all starts with second-round NFL Draft pick Mason Taylor. Taylor was the third tight end off the board in April's draft, behind Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren who landed with the Bears and Colts respectively, but both of those players have significantly more target competition in their offenses than Taylor.
As of right now, the only real established producer in the Jets' passing game is Garrett Wilson and while players like Josh Reynolds will certainly factor into the overall passing attack, there's no question that the Jets will be looking for someone to step up and make some plays to allow Wilson more favorable matchups. Taylor comes from the high-powered LSU offense where he began producing right away as a freshman, catching 38 passes for 414 yards back in 2022. While he never really had a truly huge breakout season, Taylor remained a factor in one of college football's most prolific passing attacks while competing for targets with future NFL superstars like Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.
Taylor is not a player who fantasy managers should be looking to draft, but he's one who we should keep an eye on as the season progresses. If the Jets passing attack begins to click it will likely mean that Taylor becomes a factor for fantasy football this season.

Garrett Wilson likely to miss at least a month
WR suffered knee sprain in Week 10

|  | Bad news for the #Jets offense: WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks with a knee sprain, source says. Good news is no surgery, just rehab. (ESPN.com - Rich Cimini)
FFToday's Take: Wilson just returned from a three-game absence from a hyperextended knee. Given the combination of the time he is expected to miss, the Jets' record (2-7) and upcoming opponents (specifically, the Patriots and Ravens over the next two weeks), New York could just decide to sit him for the rest of the season. The Jets don't have great alternatives, but Tyler Johnson or Adonai Mitchell will likely emerge as the top receiver on this team. Wilson's absence could also allow Mason Taylor to be the featured pass-catcher in this offense.
