2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor is coming off a new career high in tackles for the second year in a row, tallying 89 stops over 17 regular-season appearances in 2024. He also recorded a career-high 4.0 sacks after totaling just 1.0 over the previous two campaigns. With 15 starts last year, the 2022 second-round pick served as the Saints' top cornerback after the team traded Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders in November. The Saints overhauled their coaching staff this offseason, which included adding a new defensive coordinator in Brandon Staley. Nevertheless, Taylor's CB1 standing should carry over into 2025.

Signed a four-year, $7.2 million contract with the Saints in July of 2022.
Logs strong 2025 campaign
Taylor tallied 83 tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and 11 passes defended with two interceptions across 17 appearances in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Taylor posted slightly lower production following his career-best 2024 campaign. He still finished with 75 or more tackles for the third straight season, and he has recorded double-digit passes defended in all four seasons of his career. The 2022 second-rounder has had a strong start to his career, which should set him up for a solid payday this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Also targeted by Colts
The Colts targeted Taylor in a trade before landing Sauce Gardner, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Several Saints were in trade rumors ahead of Tuesday's deadline, but Rashid Shaheed and Trevor Penning ended up on the move instead of Taylor. That aligned with previous reports that the team didn't want to move the cornerback. An extension would be the next logical step, as Taylor will hit free agency this offseason if he doesn't get a new deal.
