2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor totaled career highs across the board last season with 75 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions. The 2022 second-round pick formed the Saints' top cornerback duo alongside Paulson Adebo while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined for much of the season. Lattimore still is the team's clear top cornerback when he's healthy, and Adebo entered the 2023 campaign as the team's other outside cornerback. Therefore, it's likely that Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry will compete for the starting nickel role. Read Past Outlooks
Will play Thursday
Taylor (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough but carries no injury designation into Thursday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Taylor injured his shoulder during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers. Even with the Saints on a short week, the injury doesn't appear severe enough for the 2022 second-round pick to carry an injury tag into Thursday's contest. Through the first six games of the regular season, Taylor has logged 35 tackles (26 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five passes defended and two forced fumbles.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After missing four of the first six games of his rookie season while on injured reserve, Taylor went on to lead the Saints with 11 pass defenses in 13 games in the team's injury-riddled secondary. The 2022 second-round pick also added 46 tackles, though he has yet to record an interception in the NFL. The early contributions in Taylor's career could put him in position to vie for significant playing time, and possibly even a starting role, in the upcoming campaign.
