Who Should I Start? Ja'Tavion Sanders or Mason Taylor

Friday, October 24, 11:04 PM

Ja'Tavion Sanders has yet to become a factor in the Carolina passing game this season. This year, Sanders has no touchdowns and only logged over two receptions and 50 receiving yards in one of his four games played. The second-year tight end was targeted twice, but had no receptions in last week's contest, which was his first since returning from an ankle injury that caused him to miss four games. Carolina will face the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed 5.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends, which is second-best in the league this season. Considering his underwhelming numbers, Sanders is unrosterable in any formats outside of Dynasty leagues until further notice.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals despite being listed as questionable. Taylor missed practice on Thursday before returning in a limited capacity on Friday. The rookie has appeared in all six games this season, catching 24 passes for 208 yards and zero touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE22 in PPR leagues. Taylor has played at least 93 percent of the snaps in each of his last two games, but he has caught just four passes in that span as the Jets continue to struggle on both sides of the ball. As long as New York continues to operate as the worst team in the NFL, Taylor will have a reduced ceiling and very low floor. That's unfortunate given that Taylor has a juicy matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Nevertheless, Taylor remains in the low-end TE2 tier for this week.
