Running Back Rank: #50
Overall: #163
Taylor is one of the better backup running backs in the game. He has starting experience and is a former 1,000-yard rusher. But he did have 56 fewer carries during Adrian Peterson's second season in the league. Taylor does get plenty of work in the passing game, though, as he is a better pass-catcher than Peterson. Taylor has at least 40 receptions in three of the last four seasons. Taylor has good speed to get to the outside, runs with some power and is a more than adequate receiver.

If you own Peterson, taking Taylor is a very good idea. He can do very well if forced into a starting role. And even if he isn't starting, Taylor has some value as a flex option or No. 3 back. He'll get 40 reception and can finish with around 1,000 total yards |
