2024 Fantasy Outlook
While the Tigers flaunted a Heisman-winning quarterback under center in 2023, Taylor didn't exactly flourish in 2023, seeing his production trail off slightly to 36 catches for just 348 yards and a single touchdown. Enter Garrett Nussmeier, who is far from devoid of experience, and the signal-caller put his talent on display in the bowl game against Wisconsin to close out 2023, throwing for 395 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor posted season-best totals in the game, racking up seven grabs for 88 yards. Therein lies why optimism abounds for a breakout year from Taylor in 2024. Not only is there a changing of the guard under center, but two first-round talents in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas leave the wide receiver room, opening additional targets. The Tigers' offense may not challenge Oregon for the most points in FBS again in 2024, but it'll still be an above-average unit, and Taylor seems bound for a heavier workload, giving him the fantasy upside of a TE1.

Slated to sit bowl game
Taylor declared for the 2025 NFL Draft and is slated to sit the bowl game against Baylor on Dec. 31, Luke Hubbard of Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor had a career-best season in 2024 and is ready to take things to the next level, tallying 55 catches for 546 yards and two scores across 12 games. If he sits out as expected, then Trey'Dez Green is slated to start at tight end.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The son of Jason Taylor and nephew of Zac Thomas, Mason played neither position of his older relatives but rather was drawn to the tight end spot, where he shined as a freshman last season. Taylor snared 38 passes for 414 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, finishing third on the squad in all three categories. With both Kayshon Boutte and Jaray Jenkins gone, Taylor is the second-leading returning receiver for a Tigers squad with championship hopes. Taylor still has areas where he can improve, including in the red zone, where he has the size to fend off defensive backs and the athleticism to beat opposing linebackers to spots. Taylor averaged 10.9 yards per grab but will look to get stronger and improve on his yards after the catch as well, which should not be a problem if he can get into the gym with his famous football elders.
