Mason Taylor's prospect summary, via @Rotoballer:
"YAC option and smooth runner. Son of HOFer Jason Taylor, and it shows in his football IQ. He's able to consistently find the soft spot in zones which is where he excels. Reminiscent of Tucker Kraft, with upside tied to volume."
Who grabbed him off waivers? 👀

"You're just not good enough right now, even with Derrick Henry running the football between the tackles, that we're not really threatened by you." 🫣

QB Geno Smith is not expected to be benched in Week 6 vs. the Titans, per @JFowlerESPN
The Raiders are "mildly concerned," but there's no sense Smith is a "broken QB." Pete Carroll and Geno still have plenty of trust built from their Seattle days.
He has 9 INTs in 5 games.
