2020 Fantasy Outlook
After backing up Philip Rivers last season, Taylor looked to be the Chargers' starter this year. Until the team drafted Justin Herbert sixth overall, that is. Taylor is still expected to enter training camp as the starter, but the Herbert era doesn't appear far off. Taylor was in this position two years ago and it didn't end well, starting the first two games of 2018 for the Browns before getting injured Week 3 and losing the job to rookie Baker Mayfield. In three seasons in Buffalo (2015-17) he proved a capable quarterback, using his legs to make plays and taking care of the ball - he ranked second to Tom Brady in that span in interception rate (1.0). The Chargers have more playmakers than those weapons-poor Bills teams, however, and Taylor, who was noted for good touch on his deep ball, is in his best position to succeed with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams at wideout, 6-5 red-zone target Hunter Henry at tight end and Austin Ekeler, who had 92 receptions out of the backfield last year. Even so, the Chargers aren't so enamored with Taylor - they made a run at Tom Brady this offseason, don't forget - to keep Herbert off the field for long, if not right out of the gate.

Accidental injury mires season
Taylor completed 16 of 30 passes for 208 yards across two different games in the 2020 season.
ANALYSIS
The veteran really only played one game, starting the season opener before a medical accident left Taylor with a punctured lung, which forced rookie Justin Herbert into the starting lineup. The 2020 No. 6 overall pick ran off with the job from there, eventually setting a number of rookie passing records en route to being a frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award. With Taylor set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, the 31-year-old could try to catch on with another team that may give him an opportunity at a starting job.

Brief histories on the head coaches and coordinators for all 32 teams, including the fantasy takeaways of their respective coaching ideologies.

Chris Godwin, Aaron Jones, Dak Prescott and numerous other fantasy standouts are lined up for unrestricted free agency, setting the stage for many high-stakes negotiations.

So what if I took a tight end at 1.1 and left you Christian McCaffrey at 1.2? Side bet, why absolutely. Name your price!

The Rams have mostly been involved in low-scoring games this year, but Jared Goff and Robert Woods should see plenty of volume in their Week 13 matchup with Arizona.

Taylor joined the Chargers this offseason after agreeing to a two-year contrac with the team. He played in just four games during his one-year stint with the Browns, starting the first two contests of the 2018 campaign before turning things over to Baker Mayfield. Taylor is now backing up Philip Rivers, one of the more durable quarterbacks in NFL history, so he seems destined to play second fiddle once more. It's worth pointing out the Chargers' recent pursuit of mobile backups behind their statuesque franchise icon, with Taylor joining 2019 fifth-rounder Easton Stick and former Ohio State star Cardale Jones as dual-threat options. In the unlikely event Rivers were to miss time, Taylor's ability to threaten defenses on the ground could open up even more space for the Chargers' plethora of pass catchers including YAC monsters such as Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler.
