Although Taylor is nursing a knee injury at training camp, fantasy managers should not be too concerned about his availability heading into Week 1 of the regular season.

However, fantasy managers who want to pick Taylor for the Jets’ Week 1 clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 7 should closely monitor his status in the coming weeks.

The Jets will play their first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Then, they will face their crosstown rivals, the New York Giants, in their second preseason game on Aug. 16, before their final preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 22.

It’s still unclear whether Taylor will play in any of New York’s preseason games. In his absence, Adrian Martinez and Brady Cook might battle it out for the Jets’ QB2 spot.

Taylor signed a two-year contract with the Jets in the 2024 offseason. He was the backup to Aaron Rodgers last season.

Taylor has played 14 seasons in the NFL and is recognized as one of the top backup QBs in the league. He has racked up 12,254 passing yards, 68 touchdowns, 29 interceptions and 19 rushing TDs in 94 regular-season games.

Taylor was part of the Baltimore Ravens team that won the Super Bowl in 2013.
