Trent Taylor

There's a slot role opening in San Francisco and Taylor may have the inside track to this job. There was a lot of buzz surrounding him last offseason, but injuries derailed his 2019 campaign. Now, Taylor will be battling with Jalen Hurd for the starting role in this offense. If he can beat out the athletic wideout, Taylor has a solid shot of being relevant for fantasy football in 2020.

Trent Taylor to finish third on 49ers in receptions?

Matt Barrow of The Athletic believes Trent Taylor is the favorite to finish third on the 49ers in receptions this season.

Fantasy Impact

This would place him behind George Kittle and Deebo Samuel (if healthy). Taylor had a Jones fracture in his foot last season and wound up missing the entire year. San Francisco is reportedly expecting "big things" from the 26-year-old in 2020. The slot receiver has 69 career catches in 29 games.
