2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor looked competent in pass protection in 2024 but struggled notably as a run blocker, but he's been at best an average option at right tackle since inking a four-year, $80 million deal in March of 2023. The signing of Jaylon Moore in free agency and addition of Josh Simmons in the first round of the 2025 draft could signify that Taylor isn't a lock to make it to the final year of his deal in 2026.

Undisclosed
July 20, 2025
Taylor (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Sunday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was managed to close both the regular season and postseason in 2024 due to a knee injury. However, he played through the issue in most weeks, so it's unclear if that issue is still carrying over into 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible fit for Vegas
OTJacksonville Jaguars
February 17, 2023
John Shipley of SI.com predicts that Taylor will sign with the Raiders this offseason.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has made 66 starts for Jacksonville in four seasons since being selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Jacksonville has an in-house replacement ready at right tackle in 2021 second-round pick Walker Little, so Shipley believes the Jaguars will be loath to match a large offer for Taylor in free agency. Shipley projects a three-year, $45 million contract for Taylor from the Raiders.
