2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor is on his seventh NFL team this year, but he doesn’t have to move far. After backing up Daniel Jones for the Giants the last two seasons, he will back up Aaron Rodgers for the Jets this season. Jones started three midseason games last year before being sidelined by a rib injury. He didn’t start again until the last two games, when the team’s Tommy DeVito fling had run its course. Taylor didn’t do much, throwing five TD passes and three interceptions with a 7.5 YPA, but he’s a poised veteran who gives the Jets a steadier hand than they got last year from their backups. Zach Wilson, who started 11 games last season, was traded, leaving Taylor as the clear No. 2. Taylor’s ceiling is modest, but he has some rushing upside -- last year he averaged 32 rush yards in his five starts. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Quiet in preseason start
Taylor completed one of two passes for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Taylor played the first two drives with the Jets holding out most of their starters, including Aaron Rodgers. The veteran backup didn't do much of note in his Jets debut, but Taylor isn't in any danger of losing the backup role to Jordan Travis (ankle) or Andrew Peasley, the latter of whom threw a touchdown pass on the next drive after Taylor exited the game. Taylor will likely see more extensive action in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

With starting signal-caller Daniel Jones coming off a neck injury and a pair of disappointing campaigns last year, Taylor opened 2022 with a chance to helm the Giants offense at some point along the way. Instead, Jones maintained good health and thrived in new coach Brian Daboll's offense, while Taylor was limited to just 31 regular-season snaps. There's little to glean from the backup QB's numbers, as nearly all of his production came in mop-up duty at the end of a Week 14 blowout loss to the Eagles. Jones received a four-year, $160 million contract this offseason, and Taylor is signed as his backup for one more year. It'll take an injury to Jones for Taylor to see meaningful action in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sharp in OTAs
Taylor excelled in the portion of OTAs open to the media Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is working as the backup to Aaron Rodgers, who has been practicing without limitations in his return from a torn Achilles' tendon. While the Jets are likely hoping Taylor won't need to see the field in 2024, he's a valuable insurance policy as the backup to a 40-year-old quarterback. Taylor was sharp while running the second-team offense Wednesday, throwing a 50-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Lance McCutcheon and adding another touchdown pass to tight end Zack Kuntz.
