J'Mari Taylor Fantasy Stats

Jaguars running back J'Mari Taylor went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft before signing on with Jacksonville as a priority free agent. An older and undersized prospect, he's a long shot to even stick with the team out of training camp, much less contribute for fantasy. That said, if Taylor can earn a roster spot or find a job on the practice squad, his well-rounded skill set could allow him to provide injury insurance for multiple backs currently on the roster. Despite his size, he is a willing and able tackle-breaker, and he reliably earned targets in the passing game at both Virginia and North Carolina Central. While he is unlikely to be selected in most dynasty rookie drafts, Taylor is a prime post-draft waiver pickup and taxi squad candidate in deeper dynasty leagues.

After recording over 1,300 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns across 265 touches as a senior at the University of Virginia in 2025, running back J'Mari Taylor did not hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, Taylor landed a free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving him a chance to earn an NFL roster spot. Jacksonville also enters 2026 without a proven RB1 on the roster after running back Travis Etienne Jr. departed the team in free agency. Still, Taylor currently sits at the bottom of a crowded running back depth chart in Jacksonville. Second-year backs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. both played roles for the team as rookies in 2025, and the Jags signed former Washington Commanders back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in free agency. Even Jacksonville's current RB4, DeeJay Dallas, has been a quality special teamer throughout his NFL career to this point. As a result, Taylor may have a difficult time catching on with the Jaguars. His dynasty value is likely limited to the very deepest of league formats following the NFL Draft.
