Trent Taylor Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Trent Taylor and Trenton Irwin have competition this summer in rookie Charlie Jones, who was taken in the fourth round of this year's draft. Jones is a younger, faster slot receiver with return abilities. The Athletic's Jay Morrison writes that it feels as though there will be only one spot for a guy with the skill set that Taylor and Jones share. Irwin is the current backup to Tyler Boyd in the slot, but he'll have to hold off Jones to keep that role. Irwin may have bought himself some time by stepping up in the middle of last year when Ja'Marr Chase missed four games with an injury. But as the team's WR4, there isn't much wiggle room for Irwin if Jones really impresses the coaching staff in training camp.

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed punt returner/wide receiver Trent Taylor to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Taylor was third in the NFL in punt-return average and fourth in total punt-return yards in 2022. The 28-year-old wasn't much of a factor on offense, though, in the last two years for Cincinnati, catching eight of his 13 targets for 103 yards and no touchdowns in 20 games (one start). He spent the first three years of his career with the San Francisco Giants, catching 79 passes for 731 yards and three touchdowns in 41 games played (two starts). Taylor will continue to be a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

The Cincinnati Bengals elevated wide receiver Trent Taylor and defensive tackle Mike Daniels (groin) from the practice squad to the active roster in time to play in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Taylor had only two catches for 41 yards all season long in four games, with all of his production coming in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns. He's played just one offensive snap in three postseason games and primarily serves as the team's punt returner. Daniels played in just two regular season games in 2021 and was injured in the wild-card win in the first round of the playoffs over the Las Vegas Raiders. Having Daniels active will give Cincy's defensive line some additional depth as they attempt to slow down the Rams offense.
