2023 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor has been with the Patriots since the 2020 season, but the 5-6, 190-pounder has yet to secure a steady role in the team's backfield. The 25-year-old logged saw action in just one game last year and approaches the coming campaign on the roster bubble while looking to secure slotting in a running back corps that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson, Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and Ty Montgomery.

RANKS
Signs future deal with Houston
The Texans signed Taylor to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
After being cut by the Patriots following training camp, Taylor eventually landed on Houston's practice squad back in October and spent the rest of the season there. Taylor has 52 career carries for 156 yards (3.0 YPC) and two touchdowns across 12 appearances. He'll try to make an impression this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Since joining the team as a UDFA out of Arizona in 2020, Taylor has managed to carve out a depth role in New England's backfield, though last season he logged just 19 carries and four catches in the five games in which he suited up while working behind Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden. Though Bolden has moved on, veteran change-of-pace back James White is poised to return from an injury that limited him to three games in 2021, and New England doubled down in the 2022 Draft by taking Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris. In such a crowded running back room, Taylor will have to compete for complementary work this summer, and unless personnel moves or injuries thin the ranks he's no lock to secure a roster spot.
