Tyrod Taylor
QB - New York Jets
Availability
Last week, Tyrod Taylor managed his second QB1 performance of the season as the QB7 for the week. In his three starts this season, he has averaged seven rushing attempts and 36 rushing yards (one rushing touchdown). Among 47 qualifying passers, he ranks fifth in CPOE, 19th in highly accurate throw rate, and 20th in catchable target rate. Taylor should be able to exploit a Miami pass defense that, since Week 9, has allowed the 12th-most yards per attempt, the second-highest passer rating, the fourth-highest CPOE, and the 12th-most passing yards per game.
We've now had consecutive starts from Tyrod Taylor, who's turned in two decent fantasy finishes. Against the Ravens in Week 12, he finished as the QB17. In Week 13, Taylor finished inside the top 10 at the position, throwing for 172 yards and a touchdown, and rushing eight times for 44 yards and a score. With 13 rushing attempts across his last two games, Taylor has demonstrated he still has some rushing ability in his 15th NFL season. The Jets have great matchups versus the Dolphins and Jaguars coming up. The Dolphins are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to the quarterback position and the third-most rushing yards to quarterbacks. If you need a quarterback to stream, Taylor has a great opportunity to find a way into the top 12 at the position in Week 14.
