What do you think about Taylor's prospects going forward? He is the starter for Jacksonville, but hasn't done anything this year and MJD just had a big game when Taylor went out hurt. His schedule gets easier, but will he perform up to his prior standards or continue to flounder?

 
This thread could not have popped up at a better time - he was just dropped and I would have to drop MMoore or Delhomme to pick him up. Very curious as to how the SP values him.

Depending on your QB situation, I could see dropping Delhomme for him. For what it's worth, I'm going after Rhodes (Addai owner) or Mewelde Moore this week and Taylor would be dropped if I got one of them. I think he's a RB4/RB5 right now who could be a RB3 if he can get back on track due to a very favorable schedule after the bye. But it's not like he'll be tough to replace if you've parted ways with him. I posted a thread about Taylor Sunday night. His production to date this season other than the Colts game has been putrid. So the question is - do people believe Taylor will bounce back with the favorable schedule or is he destined to be a middling producer the rest of the season?

Taylor isn't in trouble of losing more time to MJD. Everyone knew that they were both going to have a good game against that weak run defense. Taylor being hurt, just gave MJD more carries against a weak run D. Their schedule is actually pretty nice for a few games right now.

 
Long term, I like Taylor over Moore. Short term, I like Moore.

Who are your other QBs? Delhomme isn't worth much in leagues with 12 teams or more.

slight hijack here...but Delhomme has a nice sched moving forward. NO ARI BYE @OAK DET @ATL @GB Playoffs are tough tho: TB DEN @NYG
 
I have Taylor sitting on my bench and I would be dropping him this week but after an impulse buy (C Benson) last week, I'm redeeming myself and dropping him instead to get Rhodes.

Taylor will be ok but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have a hundred yard game the rest of the season.

This is basically why I want to hold onto him. I also have Warner and Schaub. Where is Fred's value? I dropped Sproles to get MeMoore and then the owner that had Taylor dropped him and picked up Sproles. Not a make or break for my team but would be nice to get a decent back - just not sure at what expense.
 
I think Jones-Drew is just going to to take more and more work from Taylor.

Taylor has been very unproductive this year. Jones-Drew has outperformed him in every single way possible through 6 games and is healthier.

Taylor seems like a RB4 at best and honestly I'm not sure his starting job is secure at all. Outside of the Colts there has been little difference running the ball between Taylor and Chris Perry other than ball security.

I'd much rather have Rhodes than Taylor, though if Taylor is on waivers he's worthy of a look.

I just loved this quote from Fred..

"I'm fine, man. If you don't suffer a slight concussion playing football, you're doing something wrong,"
