2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor is coming off a new career high in tackles for the second year in a row, tallying 89 stops over 17 regular-season appearances in 2024. He also recorded a career-high 4.0 sacks after totaling just 1.0 over the previous two campaigns. With 15 starts last year, the 2022 second-round pick served as the Saints' top cornerback after the team traded Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders in November. The Saints overhauled their coaching staff this offseason, which included adding a new defensive coordinator in Brandon Staley. Nevertheless, Taylor's CB1 standing should carry over into 2025.

Taylor (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but evidently looked good enough Friday to erase any doubts about his availability for Sunday's regular-season opener. He's set to occupy a starting cornerback role again in 2025 after starting 28 games over the previous two seasons for the Saints and notching 30 passes defensed over that span.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Taylor totaled career highs across the board last season with 75 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions. The 2022 second-round pick formed the Saints' top cornerback duo alongside Paulson Adebo while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined for much of the season. Lattimore still is the team's clear top cornerback when he's healthy, and Adebo entered the 2023 campaign as the team's other outside cornerback. Therefore, it's likely that Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry will compete for the starting nickel role.
After missing four of the first six games of his rookie season while on injured reserve, Taylor went on to lead the Saints with 11 pass defenses in 13 games in the team's injury-riddled secondary. The 2022 second-round pick also added 46 tackles, though he has yet to record an interception in the NFL. The early contributions in Taylor's career could put him in position to vie for significant playing time, and possibly even a starting role, in the upcoming campaign.
The Saints selected Taylor in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, as his speed and physicality make him an attractive option at cornerback. The 23-year-old figures to play in a depth role during his rookie season.
