Patrick Taylor Jr.
RB - San Francisco 49ers
This Week Outlook
Availability
Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed 17 times for 109 yards in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught one pass for 12 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor's performance showcased his potential as a lead back. With Elijah Mitchell and Christian McCaffrey potentially departing in free agency, Taylor could be a valuable fantasy asset in 2025 if he can secure the starting role.
Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed eight times for 24 yards and hauled in 1-of-5 targets for one yard in the 49ers' Week 16 loss to the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor failed to make much of an impact with his 13 touches. Despite the potential for a shootout in Week 17 against Detroit, Taylor will be a risky RB3/RB4 for fantasy purposes.
Patrick Taylor Jr. did not receive a touch in a 12-6 loss to the Rams in Week 15's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor was a popular waiver add in the week leading up to the Thursday night game but Isaac Guerendo ended up playing through a foot sprain, leaving Taylor on the sidelines. Assuming Guerendo didn't suffer any setbacks with his foot, Taylor will not be a recommended fantasy option heading into Week 16 against the Dolphins.
Patrick Taylor Jr. carried the ball seven times for 25 yards and one touchdown while also failing to catch his lone target in the 49ers' 38-13 win over the Bears in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Taylor made the most of his touches out of the backfield after Isaac Guerendo exited with a foot injury, averaging 3.6 yards per carry in a winning effort. The running back could be in line for an increased workload if Guerendo is to miss extended time, with a Week 15 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams up next.
The 49ers have signed Patrick Taylor Jr. to their practice squad following injuries to running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason.
Fantasy Impact
With McCaffrey and Mason out, Taylor could be elevated. He's a speculative add in fantasy, potentially filling a role in the backfield or special teams. His value depends on workload and integration.
