Mason Taylor vs Taysom Hill: The Full Breakdown

Mason Taylor (5.1 PPG) and Taysom Hill (5.5 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Mason Taylor played 13 games for the New York Jets; Taysom Hill suited up 14 times for the New Orleans Saints.

A 0.4-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Mason Taylor is the volume tight end in this matchup with 44 receptions for 369 yards, while Taysom Hill profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 18 catches). In weeks where Taysom Hill finds the end zone he out-scores Mason Taylor, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Mason Taylor sits Week 13 while Taysom Hill is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Mason Taylor (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Taysom Hill (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
