Dual-threat QB4 for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB42 last season at 10.7 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
Taylors 2025 line tells the story of a 36-year-old emergency starter: six games, a 59.7 completion rate, 779 yards, and a 5-to-5 touchdown-to-interception split that ranked QB43 with just 59.5 fantasy points. The underlying metrics were poor, a -0.045 EPA per play, 43.4 percent success rate, and a -0.9 CPOE, well off the +0.449 EPA he posted in a two-game 2024 cameo and the 1,341-yard, QB35 stretch run he managed for the Giants in 2023. His legs are largely gone too, with 143 rushing yards on 27 carries.
Now in Green Bay behind Jordan Love, Taylor is a pure insurance arm with zero standalone value while Love is healthy. He retains some streaming intrigue only in the event of an injury, given a rushing floor that has historically lifted spot starts, but that is a deep-league contingency, not a draftable asset. For 2026 redraft purposes he is a waiver-wire name to remember, nothing more, and irrelevant in all standard formats.
