From the article

Taylor has run at least 60 percent of the Jets' routes in all four of his healthy games this year. He is being targeted on a respectable 17 percent of his routes, and that number has ballooned to over 25 percent in each of his past two appearances. Taylor finally cashed in on Sunday with a pair of touchdowns, plus a two-point conversion. He accounted for 23 percent of Geno Smith's targets and 53 percent of his air yards. This role is too good to be true, but it's clear Taylor is the starting tight end for the Jets, and a solid one at that. He's in the TE2 mix for Week 8.
