2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was elevated for the second straight week from Green Bay's practice squad, garnering one carry for one yard while operating as the primary backup to AJ Dillon in the Packers' 25-24 loss to Atlanta. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) can't go again in Week 3 versus New Orleans, it's possible Taylor gets elevated again.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
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.
