2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor is on his seventh NFL team this year, but he doesn’t have to move far. After backing up Daniel Jones for the Giants the last two seasons, he will back up Aaron Rodgers for the Jets this season. Jones started three midseason games last year before being sidelined by a rib injury. He didn’t start again until the last two games, when the team’s Tommy DeVito fling had run its course. Taylor didn’t do much, throwing five TD passes and three interceptions with a 7.5 YPA, but he’s a poised veteran who gives the Jets a steadier hand than they got last year from their backups. Zach Wilson, who started 11 games last season, was traded, leaving Taylor as the clear No. 2. Taylor’s ceiling is modest, but he has some rushing upside -- last year he averaged 32 rush yards in his five starts. Read Past Outlooks

Expected to join Jets
Taylor has agreed on terms on a two-year, $18 million deal with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor is staying in New York but will sport a different jersey. The journeyman signal-caller accumulated 1,399 yards and six touchdowns through the air across 14 games (five starts) during his two-year stint with the Giants. With 58 career starts under his belt, he's a safe veteran choice to back up Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), as the Jets were determined to improve in that department following the 2023 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Indy viewed as possible landing spot
Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star believes the Colts should target Taylor to replace Gardner Minshew as Anthony Richardson's backup in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Minshew nearly led the Colts to the playoffs after Richardson underwent season-ending shoulder injury, and Minshew's strong play has likely priced him out of the Colts' plans in free agency. Taylor should be more affordable, and having a mobile backup would allow the Colts to run a similar playbook should Richardson get injured again.

With starting signal-caller Daniel Jones coming off a neck injury and a pair of disappointing campaigns last year, Taylor opened 2022 with a chance to helm the Giants offense at some point along the way. Instead, Jones maintained good health and thrived in new coach Brian Daboll's offense, while Taylor was limited to just 31 regular-season snaps. There's little to glean from the backup QB's numbers, as nearly all of his production came in mop-up duty at the end of a Week 14 blowout loss to the Eagles. Jones received a four-year, $160 million contract this offseason, and Taylor is signed as his backup for one more year. It'll take an injury to Jones for Taylor to see meaningful action in 2023.
