Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
By the StatChasers staff. Published .
Taylor joins Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent, and the market treats him accordingly: an expert consensus rank of RB101 and No. 334 overall leaves him rostered in essentially zero leagues. His college tape sells the appeal of a 5-foot-9, 199-pound runner who finished last season with 1,062 rushing yards and an ACC-best 14 rushing touchdowns. He pairs that with real three-down upside, posting 43 catches on 54 targets and holding up in protection (one sack, five hurries allowed).
The questions are athletic and situational. Evaluators flag pedestrian burst, a 10.4% drop rate, and thin receiving efficiency at 0.91 yards per route. With no current projection and a crowded depth chart ahead of him, he's a camp body and special-teams bet first. Stash him only in the deepest dynasty formats and wait for an injury or a preseason flash to force the issue.
