Trent Taylor

The 49ers have elevated WR Trent Taylor from their practice squad for Week 5.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor will likely operate as the primary kick return for the 49ers in Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals. Primary returner Jacob Cowing is unlikely to play due to a shoulder injury.

Former Bengals punt returner and slot Trent Taylor is signing to the Bears' active roster.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor spent last season with the Bengals as a punt returner where he led the league in punt returns over 20 yards. The 29-year-old WR will now have a chance to make a similar impact in the return game for his new team, the Chicago Bears.

Trent Taylor has been released by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

This move comes as somewhat of a surprise, given that Taylor was a strong contributor to the team as a punt returner. He didn't offer much as a wide receiver, however, so that could possibly be what ultimately led to the team cutting him. It seems likely that he'll get picked up by someone else at some point, but he likely won't be able to carve out enough of a role as a receiver to be relevant for fantasy purposes this year.

Trent Taylor is officially active for the Bengals’ Week 15 matchup with Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor was listed as questionable for Sunday with a hamstring injury. With Chase, Higgins, and Boyd all active, fantasy managers should only start Taylor as a desperation play.

Trent Taylor caught all four of his targets for 74 yards in a 36-23 loss to the Cardinals in Friday's preseason game.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor finished second on the team in receiving. The veteran slot receiver caught 46 balls as a rookie with the 49ers in 2017 but has seen his stats dip every season since. He will look to provide depth at the wide receiver position in the upcoming season.
