2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor handled the most carries (32) over his three-year tenure with Green Bay in 2023 while backing up Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. This resulted in a new high-water mark for Taylor in production (141 yards from scrimmage), while averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry. The Memphis product signed on with San Francisco this offseason to compete for a backup/special teams role behind star running back Christian McCaffrey. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Favorite to replace Guerendo
Taylor is preparing for a larger role with fellow running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring/foot) ruled out for Sunday's game at Miami, 95.7 The Game reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor briefly handled the lead role when Guerendo suffered a foot injury in the second half of a 38-13 win over Chicago in Week 14. Taylor played 10 consecutive snaps right after Guerendo's early exit, taking six carries for 18 yards and a TD in that span, before the 49ers pulled a bunch of starters in garbage time and let Ke'Shawn Vaughn take the final two carries. Guerendo made it back for Week 15 to take 75 percent of snaps and all 20 RB touches, but he injured his hamstring along the way and now will miss at least one week, leaving Taylor, Vaughn (practice squad) and Israel Abanikanda as the healthy RBs for an offense that's typically been extremely friendly to the position. Of course, this year's version of the San Francisco offense hasn't been nearly as powerful as the pre-2024 version, and star left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will join Guerendo on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's road matchup with a solid Miami defense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Taylor is entering his fourth season with the Packers, and he heads into training camp as the favorite to secure the third spot on the depth chart. His experience works in his favor, but he has averaged only 3.6 YPC for his career, and he will be pushed by the other running backs vying for a roster spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Next man up with Guerendo hurt
Taylor will likely take on a lead role in Week 16, as Isaac Guerendo is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor scored a fourth-quarter touchdown in Week 14 after Guerendo exited due to a foot injury. Guerendo recovered in time to suit up Week 15, dominating backfield opportunities while Taylor was limited to just three offensive snaps. With Guerendo set to be sidelined, Taylor appears to be the next man up, though Israel Abanikanda's also on the roster and Ke'Shawn Vaughn could be elevated from the practice squad.
