2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor looked competent in pass protection in 2024 but struggled notably as a run blocker, but he's been at best an average option at right tackle since inking a four-year, $80 million deal in March of 2023. The signing of Jaylon Moore in free agency and addition of Josh Simmons in the first round of the 2025 draft could signify that Taylor isn't a lock to make it to the final year of his deal in 2026.

Signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Chiefs in March of 2023.
Won't return Thursday
Taylor (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
With Taylor done the day, Jaylon Moore will remain at right tackle for the rest of Thursday's contest. Taylor will undergo further tests after the game to determine the severity of the injury and whether he'll be available for the Chiefs' Week 14 clash against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible fit for Vegas
John Shipley of SI.com predicts that Taylor will sign with the Raiders this offseason.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has made 66 starts for Jacksonville in four seasons since being selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Jacksonville has an in-house replacement ready at right tackle in 2021 second-round pick Walker Little, so Shipley believes the Jaguars will be loath to match a large offer for Taylor in free agency. Shipley projects a three-year, $45 million contract for Taylor from the Raiders.
