Taylor handled the most carries (32) over his three-year tenure with Green Bay in 2023 while backing up Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. This resulted in a new high-water mark for Taylor in production (141 yards from scrimmage), while averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry. The Memphis product signed on with San Francisco this offseason to compete for a backup/special teams role behind star running back Christian McCaffrey. Read Past Outlooks

Sticking around in San Francisco
The 49ers signed Taylor to the practice squad Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was waived by the 49ers on Friday to make room on the 53-man roster for the return of Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. After clearing waivers, Taylor has opted to stay with the 49ers on the practice squad and will be available for a game day elevation in case San Francisco needs depth at running back. Taylor mostly played on special teams in eight regular-season games before the 49ers' Week 9 bye, but he managed to post seven carries for 25 yards and added one catch for 12 yards over that span.

2021
Taylor is entering his fourth season with the Packers, and he heads into training camp as the favorite to secure the third spot on the depth chart. His experience works in his favor, but he has averaged only 3.6 YPC for his career, and he will be pushed by the other running backs vying for a roster spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss out on 53-man roster
Matt Schneidman of The Athletic projects Taylor to get cut and wind up on Green Bay's practice squad.
ANALYSIS
Schneidman thinks the Packers could opt to roster only two running backs in Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon while using practice squad elevations to add a third running back for game days, with the likes of Taylor, Lew Nichols or Tyler Goodson competing for those spots. Taylor -- who has 120 yards and a touchdown on 33 rushing attempts over the past two seasons -- could still work his way onto the right side of the roster bubble with a strong preseason.
