2020 Fantasy Outlook
Listed at 5-foot-5, 185 pounds, Taylor will compete for a depth change-of-pace role in the Patriots' backfield. Given the team's current running back options, however, the practice squad looks like a potential destination for the Arizona product, whose college resume includes kick-return experience.

Logs 23 carries in 2020
Taylor finished the 2020 season with 23 carries for 110 yards and a TD and one catch for four yards on two targets in six games.
ANALYSIS
Taylor, who the Patriots signed as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona, saw limited opportunities as a rookie, but the 5-foot-6, 185-pounder could see an increased change-of-pace role in 2021, depending on the team's offseason approach to the running back position. With that in mind, both James White and Rex Burkhead are eligible for free agency.

James Conner didn't put up big numbers, but his role the past two weeks hints at some upside for the playoffs.

There's a good chance that you'll see Travis Kelce out of uniform this week, though he won't be hanging out with George Kittle as he was here in this picture.

He may have opened Saturday's game in a timeshare with Salvon Ahmed, but the Miami backfield belonged to Myles Gaskin by the end of the night.

Chase Edmonds supposedly was dealing with an ankle injury, yet finished Sunday's win over the Eagles with more carries, yards and snaps than Kenyan Drake.
