Trends

"Taylor was selected by the Jets in the second round of April's draft. He posted poor marks in YPT (7.2) and YPRR (1.20) across his 38 collegiate games, but Jason's son did catch 36-plus passes in all three seasons. Taylor is one of the youngest (21) tight ends in this class and may require some development, but he's also well positioned for a sizable Year 1 role with Jeremy Ruckert as his top competition for the starting job, not to mention the Jets' lack of depth at wide receiver. It wouldn't be a shock if Taylor finished 2025 second to only Garrett Wilson in targets, so even in what will be a low-volume passing game with Justin Fields under center, Taylor is a fine late-round dart throw in deeper leagues."

"Taylor, who last saw game action Week 14, thus will target a potential return to action in the Jets' season finale next weekend when the team faces the Bills in Week 18. In Taylor's continued absence, Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods will handle TE duties versus New England. During New York's Week 16 loss to New Orleans, Smartt was the busiest of the trio, catching all five of his targets for 34 yards, while Ruckert caught two of his three targets for 14 yards and Woods didn't record a catch (on two targets)."

Trends

"Pearsall is entering his second NFL season positioned well for a breakout after a gunshot wound derailed a chunk of his rookie campaign. After debuting in Week 7, Pearsall had a few strong fantasy outings (17-plus points in three games), but was otherwise a nonfactor (3.6 PPG in the other eight games). The 2024 first-round pick finished strong (8-141-1 and 6-69-1 receiving lines in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively) and now has a much clearer path to consistent work with Deebo Samuel Sr. gone and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) expected to miss part of the season. There are still plenty of mouths to feed in San Francisco, but Pearsall very well could lead this team in targets. He's well worth a midround flier."

"Pearsall returned from a one-game absence to lead the 49ers in receiving yards while finishing second behind TE Jake Tonges in targets (eight) and receptions (seven). The 24-year-old Pearsall's second return from injury this season came at an opportune time, as the 49ers were without the services of star TE George Kittle (ankle), who was also shelved for the second time this year following last week's win. Pearsall is averaging 5.5 receptions and 90.5 yards in two active games since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, making him a solid fantasy play against the Seahawks in Week 18."

	Ricky Pearsall's receiving yards have decreased by 64.53% over the past 8 weeks.
	Ricky Pearsall's target share has decreased by 33.36% over the past 10 weeks.
	Ricky Pearsall's targets have decreased by 47.62% over the past 10 weeks.
	Ricky Pearsall's receptions have decreased by 45.0% over the past 8 weeks.
	Ricky Pearsall's rushing attempt share has decreased by 75.0+% over the past 10 weeks.
