2020 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor did little for the Browns after being acquired prior to the start of the 2019 season. He played early when injuries impacted depth at wide receiver, but finished with just one target and was a healthy scratch for 13 of 16 games. The team's third wideout job is up for grabs, and he could be in the mix as a returner on special teams, but the 25-year-old's outlook for 2020 hasn't improved much. As the Vikings offensive coordinator in 2019, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski used three wide-receiver formations a league-low 18 percent of the time, so Taylor, who is under contract for one more year, could have a limited role once again.

Placed on IR
Taylor (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
The specifics of Taylor's neck injury remain relatively unknown but it does not bode well for the wideout to return in 2020, as he'll have to spend a minimum three weeks on IR. He has only been active for three contests this season, receiving one target and no receptions.

Looking at ten fringe or/and post-hype prospects, this article identifies NFL players who are easy to look past but should be kept in mind for 2020.

Jordan Howard doesn't offer much as a pass catcher, but an improved Dolphins defense could provide run-viable game scripts for Miami. Also looking at Browns WRs behind Beckham and Landry.

Carson Wentz was robbed of his downfield weapons in 2019, but he's looking much better for 2020 after the Eagles added a trio of speedy wideouts during Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
The Titans invested fairly heavily in Taylor, drafting him in the third round of the 2017 draft. That capital was based on Taylor's strong college production profile, including an average of 17.7 yards per catch. While still only 24, Taylor has yet to deliver similar production for the Titans. After displaying big-play ability in his rookie season on limited targets -- Taylor saw only 28 targets but made the most of them by averaging 14.4 yards per reception -- he saw his target volume increase in the 2018 season only to have his big-play ability largely disappear. While that can be blamed in part on the anemic passing game of the team and the inconsistent play of quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Blaine Gabbert, the offseason called Taylor's role on the team into question. That question became moot when the Titans traded Taylor to the Browns. He's slotted in at fourth on Cleveland's wide receiver depth chart.
