2023 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor signed with the Chiefs this offseason via free agency and will serve as Kansas City's starting right tackle in 2023. The veteran played on the right side of Jacksonville's offensive line in his first four years in the league. Read Past Outlooks
Staying on right side
Taylor will play right tackle during OTAs, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor joined the Chiefs in March via free agency, and it was expected he may move to left tackle after playing on the right side with the Jaguars. However, it appears, at least for now, that Donovan Smith will get the first crack at protecting Patrick Mahomes' blindside, while Taylor will man the right tackle spot.
