Taylor will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a fracture in his shoulder, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor suffered the injury during the 49ers' preseason game against the Raiders. He was already slated to miss the entire 2025 season after being placed on injured reserve, and the 27-year-old running back will aim to return for the 2026 campaign once he's fully recovered from the procedure.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
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.
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.
Taylor took the first carries of his NFL career in 2021 and averaged a respectable 3.9 YPC on 23 totes -- the third most on the team among players at his position. The Packers did little at the running back position over the offseason and fellow ball carrier Kylin Hill is still recovering from a knee injury, so heading into training camp Taylor is the favorite to open the season as Green Bay's No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon.
Injuries limited Taylor in his 2020 rookie season, but he is healthy and ready to compete with Kylin hill and Dexter Williams for a roster spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Next man up with Guerendo hurt
RBSan Francisco 49ers
December 19, 2024
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.
