Lands in Houston
Taylor signed a one-year, $5.25 million deal with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor struggled during his one-year stint with the Bears in 2024, recording 32 total tackles, including a career-low 3.0 sacks, along with two passes defended and two forced fumbles over 16 appearances (no starts). However, the 27-year-old tallied 21.5 sacks with the Seahawks from 2021 to 2023, making this signing a potential upside addition to an already standout Texans pass-rush unit. Taylor is likely to play behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter in 2025, serving as a rotational edge rusher.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
The Seahawks leaned heavily on Taylor for his pass-rushing prowess in 2022, as he averaged just 28.8 defensive snaps per game but managed to record 9.5 sacks through 16 contests. That said, he's still tough to rely on for IDP purposes because he posted just 26 tackles in that span. Now, there's increasing pressure on his job with veteran Uchenna Nwosu and recent second-round picks Boye Mafe and Derick Hall on the roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to play against Saints
Taylor is dealing with a neck injury but is likely to see action Monday against the Saints, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site.
ANALYSIS
Taylor remains questionable, but coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he expected the 24-year-old to be available Monday. His presence would provide a huge boost to Seattle's defense, as he has four sacks and six quarterback hits through the first six games of the campaign.
