2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor totaled career highs across the board last season with 75 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions. The 2022 second-round pick formed the Saints' top cornerback duo alongside Paulson Adebo while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined for much of the season. Lattimore still is the team's clear top cornerback when he's healthy, and Adebo entered the 2023 campaign as the team's other outside cornerback. Therefore, it's likely that Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry will compete for the starting nickel role. Read Past Outlooks
Top tackler in win
Taylor logged nine total tackles (eight solo), including two tackles for loss, during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's impressive start to the 2024 season continued Sunday, as the third-year cornerback has now recorded 15 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended one pass across New Orleans' first two contests. He led the Saints in total tackles in Week 2 and helped New Orleans' defense hold Dallas under 20 points, something that has happened just three times over the Cowboys' last 18 regular-season contests. Expect Taylor to continue being a difference maker on the Saints' defense heading into Week 3's matchup with the Eagles.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After missing four of the first six games of his rookie season while on injured reserve, Taylor went on to lead the Saints with 11 pass defenses in 13 games in the team's injury-riddled secondary. The 2022 second-round pick also added 46 tackles, though he has yet to record an interception in the NFL. The early contributions in Taylor's career could put him in position to vie for significant playing time, and possibly even a starting role, in the upcoming campaign.
