Patrick Taylor Jr. Week 15 Outlook - Rams at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 12th 2024, 3:05pm EST

If Isaac Guerendo is active, expect Taylor Jr. to help carry the load some. If Guerendo is out, Taylor Jr. should be the team's workhorse. In the fourth quarter of last week's game, Taylor Jr. took the lead with a 58% snap rate and an 80% snap rate in the red zone. Taylor Jr. finished with seven touches and 25 total yards. In limited action (only 14 carries), Taylor Jr. has had a 21% missed tackle rate with a mediocre 1.93 yards after contact per attempt. If Guerendo is out, he should still see 15-20 touches this week with a lock on the goal line work. That's good enough for RB2 status. If Guerendo is active, Taylor Jr. is only a deep league (low-end) flex play. Since Week 9, Los Angeles has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest missed tackle rate, and the third-highest yards before contact per attempt.
