Trent Taylor Fantasy

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.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed former San Francisco 49ers slot receiver and punt returner Trent Taylor to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Taylor is a good fit with Cincinnati, who lost slot receiver/punt returner Alex Erickson in free agency this offseason. Taylor, 27, caught 10 of his 21 targets for 86 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (one start) for the 49ers last season. The fifth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech in 2017 by the 49ers caught 79 passes on 122 targets for 731 yards and three touchdowns in his three seasons with the team over 41 games (two starts). With Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, Auden Tate and rookie Ja'Marr Chase in the fold, Taylor will be providing receiving depth, so don't expect much in terms of fantasy value.

The San Francisco 49ers placed wide receiver Trent Taylor on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and signed wide receiver Jordan Matthews to the practice squad in a corresponding move. Taylor is now likely to miss the Week 16 game against the Cardinals on Saturday, even if he was just deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who tested positive for the virus. The 26-year-old hasn't taken advantage of injuries to the team's receiving corps this year, catching just 10 passes on 21 targets for 86 yards in 12 games (one start). With Deebo Samuel out for the rest of the season, Richie James Jr. and Kendrick Bourne will continue to work in three-wide sets alongside rookie first-rounder Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk is the only one worth trusting in fantasy lineups with titles on the line this weekend.
