Derek Brown shares his outlook for dynasty rookies below.

Mason Taylor (NYJ)

Taylor is headed to the Jets after they selected him in the second round of the NFL Draft. Taylor could become the number two target in the passing attack quickly, with only Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard as his closest competition for targets. I wasn’t nearly as enamored as many with Taylor as a prospect. His athleticism was solid, with a 4.68 40-yard dash and an 83rd percentile 3-cone. Taylor should develop into a solid starting NFL tight end, but I have a hard time seeing a pathway to elite status for Taylor. Across his three seasons at LSU, he never ranked higher than 63rd in yards per route run (per PFF). Taylor finished his collegiate career with only 5.4 yards after the catch per reception and 14 missed tackles forced (129 receptions). Taylor is a late second/early third-round dynasty rookie pick that could soak up a ton of volume in year one.

Terrance Ferguson (LAR)

The Rams now have their heir apparent to Tyler Higbee. Higbee is a free agent after this season. I expect Ferguson to get his feet wet in his rookie season and assume the starting role in 2026. At tight end, high-end athleticism is so highly correlated to high-end production. Ferguson checks that box emphatically with a 9.32 RAS score, a 4.63 40-yard dash, and 91st percentile or higher marks in the vertical and broad jumps. Last year, Ferguson also crushed it in nearly every efficiency metric I can find, ranking 14th in yards per route run and receiving grade, third in yards after the catch per reception, and 22nd in missed tackles forced (per PFF).
