News: 11 hours agoTaylor caught all five of his targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns while adding a two-point conversion in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Spin: Taylor bookended the scoring for the Jets. He got New York on the board with a 13-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and rounded out the scoring in the fourth with a 12-yard touchdown reception and the ensuing two-point conversion. The 2025 second-round pick entered Sunday's action with just one touchdown in 17 career regular-season appearances, but Taylor posted the best performance of his young career while outplaying 2026 first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq, who had just one catch for six yards. Taylor will continue to face competition for targets from Sadiq, as well as the wide-receiver trio of Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell, in Week 8 against the Raiders.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Taylor was a busy man during his rookie season, playing 81% of the Jets' offensive snaps and handling a healthy 19% of the targets in 13 games. The 2025 second-round pick struggled badly with efficiency while dealing with the team's quarterback woes, ranking near the basement in catch rate (65%) and yards per target (5.4). Taylor also dropped five passes (fourth most), scored only one touchdown and finished 30th in fantasy PPG. Taylor would've been a potential 2026 breakout candidate, but that was quickly derailed when the Jets selected Kenyon Sadiq in the first round of April's draft. Taylor will play a role in the New York offense, but he won't see nearly enough targets to allow any sort of fantasy relevance.
