2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor's expected to work as the backup to offseason acquisition Justin Fields in 2025. The journeyman Taylor has 94 NFL appearances (58 starts) under his belt, including a couple of cameos in mop-up duty in 2024, which was his first season with the Jets. Fields has never started more than 15 games in a season, so Taylor could get the call at some point to lead a Jets passing game that lacks established talent other than WR Garrett Wilson, but Taylor's rushing upside at age 36 is far lower than it was in his prime Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Could be ready for Week 1
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Friday that he's "confident" that Taylor (knee) will be available for the Jets' regular-season opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 7, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery that has kept him sidelined since early August. There's optimism that he'll be available for Week 1 to serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind starter Justin Fields. If Taylor isn't cleared to suit up, then the QB2 role would fall to either Adrian Martinez or Brady Cook unless the Jets opt to sign another signal-caller ahead of the regular-season opener.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected back for Week 1
Taylor, who has been recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, is expected back for the Jets' Week 1 game against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran is slated to open the season as the No. 2 quarterback behind Justin Fields, and head coach Aaron Glenn expressed his optimism about Taylor's availability for the opener following Friday night's loss to the Eagles in New York's preseason finale. The Jets did work out veterans Nathan Peterman and C.J. Beathard in recent days as part of their due diligence. Taylor hasn't practiced since late July, so getting back on the field as soon as possible would seem to be especially important despite the 36-year-old's experience.
