SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #64   
Overall: #278


Taylor posted his worst numbers in several seasons last year. He averaged just 3.9 yards per carry, which tied his career low. Taylor seems to have lost a little. But he has a ton of experience and some big seasons under his belt. He moves to a platoon situation in New England, which could suit him well. He'll share carries with a host of backs. Taylor has seven 1,000-yard seasons in his career. He remains a pretty explosive back with big-play ability. He is a capable receiver out of the backfield, but hasn't gotten many chances in that role in recent seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Taylor was a bust last season, but could turn it around a little in New England. His touchdown totals won't be very good, but it wouldn't surprise to see him reach 1,000 total yards in the Patriots explosive offense. Taylor is worth a late-round pick as a No. 3 or 4 back.

Gasper, of The Boston Globe, reports New England Patriots RB Fred Taylor (ankle) underwent surgery Thursday, Oct. 8, to repair severe ligament damage in his right ankle and could miss the rest of the season, according to a league source. There is a small chance he could return during the final month of the regular season depending on how his recovery progresses.
Fantasy Impact: We would just cut ties with Taylor. He wasn't a great option to begin with.
