SIT ‘EM

player. 53. . Quarterback. Browns. Tyrod Taylor. 3

Tyrod Taylor threw for 246 yards against a lackluster Saints defense last week. It took him awhile to get going and this week he’ll face a much tougher defense in the Jets.

Taylor has thrown two interceptions and been sacked ten times already, which doesn’t bode well for him in fantasy football. Owners should be cautious of starting Taylor, who despite having a decent run game (he added 77 yards on the ground in week one), isn’t a great option to go against a solid Jets defense.

Similar to Sam Darnold, if you’re in a deep fantasy league where you’re forced to play multiple quarterbacks, I wouldn’t roll with Tyrod Taylor this week. He’s projected to score 16.4 points in ESPN leagues, so if you have someone worse than that, that’s the only way I’d count on him.
