Summary

Quarterback Rank: #67All Players: #402

Taylor won the top backup job his rookie season and got in a few games but played extensively the last game of the season with the Ravens having little to play for. Taylor played pretty well in that game, going 15-of-25 for 149 yards with an interception. He did most of his damage on the ground, rushing nine times for 65 yards and a touchdown. His ability to make plays on the ground is what makes him an intriguing prospect. He still needs a lot of work throwing the ball but has a plus arm and quick release. He needs to work on his reads and accuracy. He is a top athlete that should continue to serve as the top backup for the Ravens and get in the occasional game to utilize his running ability at quarterback.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

If injury occurs, we like Taylor as a spot starter for fantasy teams. He has some upside in a starting role because of his ability to run the ball. He is a dual fantasy threat.

Notes

Aug 08 03:12 pm

Baltimore Ravens QB Tyrod Taylor could see a larger role in the Ravens' offense this year. The Ravens used him at wide receiver last year at times and could be looking to use more of him in different roles this season. 'No matter what, we are going to try to find ways to get him on the field anyway he can because he is such a good athlete,' head coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday, Aug. 7.

Baltimore Ravens QB Curtis Painter is challenging QB Tyrod Taylor for the team's No. 2 quarterback duties during training camp. Taylor is a dual-threat option at quarterback, able to make plays with his legs, while Painter is more of a pocket passer. Painter has had bouts of erratic play and thrown plenty of interceptions. Thus far, Painter has not made a strong case for the team to carry three quarterbacks into the regular season.
