Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
The Seahawks leaned heavily on Taylor for his pass-rushing prowess in 2022, as he averaged just 28.8 defensive snaps per game but managed to record 9.5 sacks through 16 contests. That said, he's still tough to rely on for IDP purposes because he posted just 26 tackles in that span. Now, there's increasing pressure on his job with veteran Uchenna Nwosu and recent second-round picks Boye Mafe and Derick Hall on the roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to play against Saints
Taylor is dealing with a neck injury but is likely to see action Monday against the Saints, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site.
ANALYSIS
Taylor remains questionable, but coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he expected the 24-year-old to be available Monday. His presence would provide a huge boost to Seattle's defense, as he has four sacks and six quarterback hits through the first six games of the campaign.
