We'll see if Justin Fields (concussion) will return in Week 4 at Miami after he was out in Week 3 at Tampa Bay, but Taylor will be worth using as a streamer in deeper leagues, as well as a starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, if he starts against the Dolphins. Taylor passed for 197 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Buccaneers, along with 48 rushing yards, and Miami has allowed at least 29 Fantasy points to all three opposing quarterbacks this year. Taylor is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB in one-quarterback leagues and up to 15 percent in Superflex and two-quarterback formats.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Mixed results in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Taylor completed 26 of 36 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers. He added 48 rushing yards on eight carries and lost a fumble.
The veteran backup QB acquitted himself fairly well in place of Justin Fields (concussion), leading the Jets in rushing yards and tossing TDs to Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard in the fourth quarter while trying to engineer a comeback from a 23-6 deficit. Taylor could head back to the bench in Week 4 against the Dolphins, but if he is needed again, his presence doesn't seem like it will be much of a damper on the offense's production.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Set for Week 3 start
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Taylor will start Sunday's game on the road against Tampa Bay with Justin Fields (concussion) ruled out, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Taylor will draw at least one start while Fields works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The veteran QB entered New York's 30-10 loss to the Bills in Week 2 in the fourth quarter, completing seven of 11 passes for 56 yards and a score while playing the Jets' final two drives. He also rushed three times for 21 yards, looking more efficient in command of New York's offense than Fields had through the first three quarters. Taylor's modest dual-threat upside at age 36 makes him a viable fantasy option in formats that start two quarterbacks.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Justin Fields (concussion) was injured in Week 2 against Buffalo, and Taylor stepped in and was 7-of-11 passing for 56 yards and a touchdown and three carries for 21 yards. He will face Tampa Bay in Week 3 if Fields is out, and Taylor would be a potential starting option in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. In those leagues, Taylor would be worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Throws TD after Fields' concussion
Rotowire
Taylor completed seven of 11 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for 21 yards after replacing Justin Fields (concussion) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.
Taylor played the final two drives after Fields exited in the fourth quarter. The passing attack looked more effective with Taylor in the game, as Fields threw for only 27 yards prior to his injury. Taylor's touchdown pass was a five-yarder to Jeremy Ruckert to finish off the scoring Sunday. Fields will be hard-pressed to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol prior to the Jets' Week 3 road game in Tampa Bay, so Taylor could be in line to make the 59th regular-season start of his NFL career.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: No limitations Thursday
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor returned to full practice participation for the first time since late July, paving the way for him to suit up Week 1 against the Steelers as Justin Fields' backup. The veteran backup has been working his way back from a knee scope.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Could be ready for Week 1
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Friday that he's "confident" that Taylor (knee) will be available for the Jets' regular-season opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 7, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery that has kept him sidelined since early August. There's optimism that he'll be available for Week 1 to serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind starter Justin Fields. If Taylor isn't cleared to suit up, then the QB2 role would fall to either Adrian Martinez or Brady Cook unless the Jets opt to sign another signal-caller ahead of the regular-season opener.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Out for remainder of preseason
Rotowire
Taylor will not suit up this preseason while completing his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Coach Aaron Glenn said Tuesday the Jets are hoping Taylor will be available for Week 1, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, but iit will fall to Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook to handle quarterback reps behind starter Justin Fields for the remainder of the preseason. New York figures to add another signal-caller to the roster as temporary depth.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Sidelined by knee injury Monday
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) didn't practice Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Taylor had previously worked as the backup to Justin Fields, who is viewed as the team's clear starter after signing a two-year contract with the Jets in the offseason. If Taylor isn't available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers, Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook would be in line for additional opportunities.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
It's not a bad idea to stash Taylor heading into Week 14 at Miami just in case Aaron Rodgers is benched. Taylor could emerge as a starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues to close the season, and he's worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Expected to join Jets
Rotowire
Taylor has agreed on terms on a two-year, $18 million deal with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Taylor is staying in New York but will sport a different jersey. The journeyman signal-caller accumulated 1,399 yards and six touchdowns through the air across 14 games (five starts) during his two-year stint with the Giants. With 58 career starts under his belt, he's a safe veteran choice to back up Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), as the Jets were determined to improve in that department following the 2023 season.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Nearly reaches 300 yards in win
Rotowire
Taylor completed 23 of 32 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles. He added 38 rushing yards on eight carries.
The veteran quarterback might have topped 300 yards for the second straight game, but he briefly left late in the first quarter to get his thumb checked out, and Tommy DeVito completed a five-yard pass in his absence. Taylor, who has played for five teams over the last seven seasons alone, will be a free agent in the offseason and isn't likely to return to the Giants with DeVito and Daniel Jones (knee) on the depth chart, but the 34-year-old showed in 2023 he can still be effective and likely won't have much trouble landing elsewhere.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
The last two games that Taylor started and finished he scored at least 20.8 Fantasy points. He reached that total in Week 17 against the Rams, and he had 11.4 Fantasy points in the second half against the Eagles in Week 16 when he replaced Tommy DeVito. He should give you production with his legs -- he's run for at least 21 yards in each of his past five significant appearances -- and Philadelphia is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. I like Taylor as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Taylor (back) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Earlier Wednesday, head coach Brian Daboll named Taylor the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, suggesting that the Giants don't anticipate the back injury hindering the signal-caller's availability for the season finale. Nonetheless, Taylor's participation level in practice Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring as the Giants prepare for a rematch with a reeling Philadelphia defense against whom Taylor threw for 133 yards in one half of action two weeks ago.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Getting Week 18 start
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Taylor will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale versus the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Though the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention, Daboll will stick with the veteran signal-caller in Week 18 rather than pivoting back to undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. While making his fourth start and 10th appearance of the season in this past Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams, Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 40 yards on six rushing attempts.

The last time Taylor started a game was Week 7 against Washington, and he scored 25.7 Fantasy points with 279 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with 25 rushing yards. He looked good in relief of Tommy DeVito in Week 16 at Philadelphia with 133 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception, along with 21 rushing yards, and he has a great matchup in Week 17 against the Rams. Five quarterbacks in a row have scored at least 20.2 Fantasy points against the Rams, and Taylor is a good desperation play at quarterback in this matchup.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Activated but will be backup Monday

Taylor (ribs) was activated from injured reserve Monday, but he will back up Tommy DeVito in Monday's game against the Packers, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Taylor is back on the active roster after a full week of practice, but he'll remain in a reserve role Monday. DeVito won his last two starts prior to the Giants' bye, while Taylor posted a record of 1-2 as a starter prior to his stint on IR.
