    Mason Taylor caught 3-of-3 targets for 24 yards in the Jets’ Week 5 win over the Browns.

    Active for the first time since Week 2, Taylor caught the second most balls on the team as Kenyon Sadiq departed with a third quarter concussion. Those are awful developments for Sadiq managers, but almost certainly not enough to create TE2 value for Taylor, even if Sadiq misses Week 6 against the Patriots.

    Taylor’s return could be problematic for rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq. Sadiq posted a 7/105/1 receiving line two weeks ago before goose-egging last week. Taylor is not a serious receiving threat, but he can eat into Sadiq’s snap share. Sadiq likely remains a viable TE1, but his volatility just increased a tad.

    Hall was initially mentioned as being week-to-week when he was diagnosed with his quad injury, so he was never really considered a candidate to play in Week 4 despite the team waiting until the end of the week to rule him out. With Hall out, the Jets will look to Braelon Allen to handle most of the backfield duties. Allen will profile as a solid RB2 candidate with a chance for more upside in what could be a high-volume day against the Bears. In addition to Hall, the Jets also ruled out OG Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) for Week 4.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor was sidelined all of last week and, so far, all of this week with the thumb injury. He’d need to mount a major comeback on Friday to get on to the questionable line.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor missed Week 3 with the thumb issue and is currently considered week-to-week. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4. Assuming he is out, Kenyon Sadiq, coming off a breakout performance versus the Lions, will be in line for a larger role once again.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday morning that Taylor would miss Sunday’s game after being sidelined in practice throughout the week. It was reported on Tuesday that Taylor would be week-to-week with his injury, so it isn’t all to surprising to learn that he will be sidelined for this one. Taylor has -2 yards on two receptions this season and wouldn’t have been on the fantasy radar even if he was active.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    He’s considered week-to-week and didn’t practice on either of the first two days of the week. Taylor will likely be ruled out on Friday, opening the door for Kenyon Sadiq to see a workload elevation against the Lions.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor, according to head coach Aaron Glenn, will “be just fine.” That could mean he’ll be ready for the Jets’ Week 3 game against the Lions. Through two games Taylor leads the team in tight end routes while rookie Kenyon Sadiq leads in tight end targets. Sadiq, being targeted on 17 percent of his routes, would be a nice streaming play in Week 3 if Taylor is sidelined.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor suffered a thumb injury in Week 2 against the Packers, which will seemingly sideline him for Week 3 and potentially longer. Taylor currently leads Jets tight ends with 78 offensive snaps. Losing for any amount of time elevates rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq to a more prominent role. Sadiq is worth adding in 12-team leagues at this time.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Taylor reportedly functioned as the Jets’ top tight end throughout training camp with Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) sidelined. Taylor, whose blocking ability recently drew praise from head coach Aaron Glenn, worked with Geno Smith two or three times a week in the offseason, developing chemistry with the veteran journeyman. Last year Taylor saw a target on 20 percent of his routes and logged a lowly 1.11 yards per route run in the low-octane New York offense. He’ll be a sneaky deep league option in Week 1 against the Titans.
  • NYJ Tight End #16
    Sadiq underwent the procedure early in the offseason but recently suffered a setback. The good news is that Glenn said it isn’t something that will sideline him during the regular season. Still, missing the first half of training camp is not a great start for a rookie, let alone one playing a position that is notoriously difficult to transition from college to pro. Sadiq will likely pick up steam as the season goes on, but he doesn’t figure to have much fantasy value during the first month of the season.

    Mark Andrews caught 4-of-6 targets for 28 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons.

    Andrews dropped a would-be touchdown on the team’s opening possession on a ball that went through his hands in the end zone. He would then fumble on the following possession, which Jessie Bates returned for a touchdown to force the Ravens into catch-up mode for the remainder of the game. Luckily for him, late heroics from Tyler Huntley and Derrick Henry had the team escaping with a victory. Andrews has not looked great to start the 2026 season, having not eclipsed 50 yards through five games. He’ll remain a shaky fantasy start in Week 6 when the Ravens host the Browns.

    Zay Flowers caught 8-of-9 targets for 53 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 13 yards on one carry.

    Flowers was largely confined to short area work with Tyler Huntley under center and also saw a 26-yard reception erased from his ledger due to a 29-yard pass interference penalty on the play. It was a weird situation in which the penalty yardage was greater than his reception. Fantasy managers might be forced to continue waiting on the return of Lamar Jackson after it was reported this week that the All Pro starter could be forced to miss another week. Flowers is a locked-in WR2 against the Browns in Week 6 with Huntley under center and an elite WR1 should Jackson return.

    Rashod Bateman caught 5-of-6 targets for 62 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons.

    Bateman had a relatively quiet game until notching 38 yards on three receptions on the team’s final possession of regulation, helping to spur an improbable comeback victory in overtime. The team took the ball with just over two minutes remaining down by eight, eventually driving the field and tacking on a two-point conversion to send the game to extra time. Bateman remains a shaky FLEX option for as long as Zay Flowers remains healthy, which doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Browns.

    Derrick Henry rushed 24 times for 102 yards in the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 18 yards and a touchdown on one reception.

    Henry also tacked on a successful two-point conversion to further pad his counting stats. The King erupted for 59 yards in the first half before being largely held in check for the final two quarters with the Ravens playing from behind. He would watch from the sidelines for the duration of the team’s final possession in the two-minute drill but came on the field to tie the game with a two-point conversion on a direct snap. The Falcons were no match for Henry in the extra frame, with the bruising back tacking on an additional 32 yards on the ground on the team’s lone overtime possession. Henry continues to turn back the clock while notching his eighth touchdown in five appearances, having scored in every game to start the season. He remains an elite RB1 ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Browns.

    Tyler Huntley completed 24-of-32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 30-23, Week 5 win over the Falcons, adding 20 yards and a touchdown on six carries.

    Huntley was in command of the offense throughout, showing poise and pocket presence in the face of one of the most stout defensive fronts in the league. The Ravens marched the field on the opening possession but a dropped touchdown from tight end Mark Andrews forced them to settle for a field goal. Their next possession resulted in a Mark Andrews fumble that was returned for a touchdown, forcing the Ravens to play from behind for the remainder of the game. Down by eight with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Huntley took the ball and led the team to a touchdown and successful two-point conversion to force overtime. He would then lead an opening possession touchdown drive in the extra frame, with the team escaping with an unlikely comeback victory on a game-sealing interception. Huntley could be tasked with another start in Week 6 against the Browns after late-week reports indicated that Lamar Jackson could be headed for another absence. Huntley will be a middling QB2, should he start.

    Kyle Pitts caught 5-of-6 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Pitts remained largely confined to short area work with his game-long reception going for only 13 yards. A second quarter touchdown from five yards out gave the veteran tight end his first trip to paint through five games and his five receptions doubled that of his previous four appearances. Pitts remains a difficult weekly start for as long as Drake London and Bijan Robinson remain healthy, which doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears in Atlanta.

    Jahan Dotson caught 2-of-4 targets for 54 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Dotson’s 54 yards finished second on the team behind alpha Drake London but his four targets finished behind London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. His status as the starting wide receiver opposite London likely means little in the wake of modest volume games that continue to stack up. He can safely be left on, or returned to, the waiver wire.

    Drake London caught 7-of-11 targets for 118 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    London started slow along with the rest of an Atlanta offense that gained just 37 total yards on their first three possessions before a 78-yard scoring drive to end the half. He would add six receptions after the break to push his season average to 127 yards per game in games started by Michael Penix. Penix departed late in the fourth quarter with a ribs injury, suddenly making London’s fantasy managers skittish after the veteran receiver managed a meager 80 total yards in two games without Penix to begin the season. Fantasy managers will want to monitor Atlanta’s starting quarterback’s status in the coming days ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears, where London will be a WR1 with Penix or an upside WR3 in his absence.

    Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 86 yards in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens, adding 32 yards on four receptions.

    Robinson suffered through poor offensive efficiency in the first half, finally breaking loose for a 38-yard carry on the team’s first possession of the third quarter. Although the receiving production and yardage total were enough to salvage a usable fantasy week, it was only the second time in five games in which Robinson failed to find the end zone. Robinson remains an elite fantasy RB1 ahead of a Week 6 showdown against the Bears in Atlanta.

    Tua Tagovailoa completed 2-of-3 passes for 34 yards and an interception in the Falcons’ 30-23, Week 5 loss to the Ravens.

    Tagovailoa came on in relief of the injured Michael Penix late in the fourth quarter and would be charged with leading the Falcons to a potential game-tying drive in overtime after the Ravens took the ball and scored a touchdown to start the extra period. He completed one pass at the end of the fourth quarter, one in overtime, and then threw a game-ending interception to send the Falcons to a 2-3 record ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears. Fantasy managers of Penix will want to track his status closely in the coming days.
