Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Taylor reportedly had the inside track for the third receiver role during organized team activities back in May, but he didn't show much of anything during the preseason and was released on Tuesday. As it stands, Chad Beebe, Olabisi Johnsonand Brandon Zylstra appear to be the preferred options at wide receiver behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Laquon Treadwell, Dillon Mitchelland Jeff Badet are also still in the mix and are competing for a roster spot. Week 4 of the preseason should shed some light as to how this will all shake out in the end. Taylor could latch on with another team looking for some depth at wide receiver, but he would likely remain a fantasy non-factor.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Taylor has been working as the No. 3 wideout in spring practices. Taylor could be competing mainly with rookie Dillon Mitchell for the third spot behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs this year. The 27-year-old Taylor didn't play at all last year and has just 29 receptions for 351 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons with the Broncos in 2016 and 2017. Even if he wins the No. 3 job in Minnesota, he won't be much of a consistent fantasy option, even in deeper leagues. Laquon Treadwell could also factor in.
The Minnesota Vikings are intrigued with the idea of wide receiver Jordan Taylor returning punts in 2019 to replace cornerback Marcus Sherels in the role. Taylor returned 11 punts for 103 yards (9.4 average) in 2017. There's a good chance that the 27-year-old makes more noise on special teams than he does in the offense in his first year in Minnesota. He sat out all of the 2018 season due to injury and shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar.
The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent wide receiver Jordan Taylor to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to a league source. Taylor didn't play at all in 2018 due to injuries and has only 29 receptions for 351 yards and two touchdowns in 26 career games over two seasons with the Broncos. He's no lock to make Minnesota's roster out of training camp and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.
Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hips) will "probably" start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Taylor was held out of organized team activities and minicamp. Taylor is a long shot to be a big contributor on offense this year after the team drafted rookies Courtland Sutton and Daesean Hamilton. Taylor has only 29 catches, 351 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons in Denver.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hips), who was originally expected to undergo surgery on his right hip earlier this offseason, ended up having surgery on both of his hips, with the second procedure on his left hip coming nine weeks after the first surgery. It's unclear how he's coming along in his rehab. In two seasons with Denver, Taylor has only 29 receptions for 351 yards and two touchdowns, but he did take over punt-return duties late last season and will likely make more of an impact on special teams moving forward.
Jordan Taylor Expected To Miss Bulk Of Offseason Work
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) is expected to miss most of the team's offseason workouts after having hip surgery. That's bad news, as Taylor was expected to take on a bigger role with both Bennie Fowler and Cody Latimer leaving in free agency. Last year's third-round pick, Carlos Henderson, should be in line for the slot duties as the No. 3 behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, but Taylor should also have an increased role in the offense if he's healthy. In two seasons with Denver, Taylor has just 29 receptions for 351 yards and two touchdowns, and he's unlikely to be a fantasy commodity unless an injury occurs ahead of him on the depth chart.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hip) will undergo only one hip surgery this offseason. It's unknown what his timetable for recovery will be, but hip surgeries are usually pretty serious, so he could miss most of offseason workouts. Taylor took on a bigger role as a receiver and punt returner late in the year, but he had just 13 receptions for 142 yards and no touchdowns in 2017. If he's brought back as an exclusive-rights free agent, which is likely, he'll once again serve as receiver depth in 2018.
