New Orleans Saints
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor totaled career highs across the board last season with 75 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions. The 2022 second-round pick formed the Saints' top cornerback duo alongside Paulson Adebo while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined for much of the season. Lattimore still is the team's clear top cornerback when he's healthy, and Adebo entered the 2023 campaign as the team's other outside cornerback. Therefore, it's likely that Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry will compete for the starting nickel role. Read Past Outlooks

November 18, 2024
Taylor recorded eight total tackles (five solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The third-year pro from Tennessee has capitalized on increased opportunities since Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to Washington in early November, recording 17 total tackles and two passes defended in the Saints' last two contests. Taylor now leads New Orleans' defense in passes defended (12) and tackles for loss (seven) through the team's first 11 games. He's expected to continue making plays when the Saints host the Rams in Week 13.

2022
After missing four of the first six games of his rookie season while on injured reserve, Taylor went on to lead the Saints with 11 pass defenses in 13 games in the team's injury-riddled secondary. The 2022 second-round pick also added 46 tackles, though he has yet to record an interception in the NFL.
