Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was elevated for the second straight week from Green Bay's practice squad, garnering one carry for a yard while operating as the primary backup to AJ Dillon in the Packers' 25-24 loss to Atlanta. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) can't go again in Week 3 versus New Orleans, it's possible Taylor gets elevated again.

Taylor had one carry for one yard in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor and Emanuel Wilson split the snaps behind AJ Dillon with Aaron Jones (hamstring) sidelined, but neither backup did anything of note. In fact, Taylor was more productive in Week 1 against the Bears when Jones was in the lineup. Unless Dillon goes down too, Taylor remains off the fantasy radar in most formats.

The Packers elevated Taylor to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor has now been promoted to the active roster in consecutive weeks to kick off the year. He tallied five carries for 22 yards in the team's 38-20 season-opening victory over the Bears as the No. 3 back. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) does not get the green light, Taylor could again see some work in the backfield behind AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson.

Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was elevated to the active roster to operate as the Packers' third running back in their 38-20 win over the Bears in Week 1, recording five carries for 22 yards while playing seven offensive snaps. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) is unable to play Sunday in Atlanta, it's possible that Taylor is elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week.

Taylor had five carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was beaten out for a spot on Green Bay's 53-man roster by fellow running back Emanuel Wilson, but it appears that had more to do with keeping Wilson off waivers, as Taylor worked as Green Bay's third running back in Week 1 after being elevated from the practice squad. He did not get a carry until the game was well in hand, but he was effective with his opportunities. Starting running back Aaron Jones shined in Sunday's game but injured his hamstring, and Jones' backup, AJ Dillon, struggled to get much going. As such, Taylor -- at least to some degree -- is on the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 clash with the Falcons.

The Packers have elevated Taylor to their active roster ahead of Sunday's season-opening game in Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's elevation from the practice squad ahead of Week 1 action means that he will be an option to back up Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson at running back. While his most likely path to contribution will be via special teams, he could see a few plays in the backfield at any point.

Taylor was picked up by the Packers' practice squad Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was competing for the No. 3 running back role on Green Bay's depth chart during training camp, but the team ended up going with Emanuel Wilson behind staples Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. The 25-year-old has bounced back and forth between the Packers' practice squad and active roster the previous two seasons and it is looking like deja vu heading into his third season.

The Packers waived Taylor on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was the third running back to enter Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks and ultimately lost out on the No. 3 running back spot to rookie UDFA Emanuel Wilson. Taylor had limited opportunities in 2022, tallying just 10 carries for 31 yards in 14 games while operating behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. He'll look to land elsewhere -- likely on a practice squad -- once he clears waivers.

Taylor had six carries for 24 yards and one reception for eight yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was the third Packers running back to enter Saturday's contest, so it's possible he has fallen behind fellow running back Emanuel Wilson on the depth chart. However, Green Bay may have simply wanted to give Wilson some work with the first team. The two are the frontrunners to be Green Bay's No. 3 running back, though neither is guaranteed a roster spot, as the Packers broke camp with only two active running backs in 2022.

Taylor had four carries for 12 yards and a touchdown and one reception for five yards in Saturday's 21-17 preseason loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was not particularly busy in Saturday's contest, but that's because the Packers have a pretty good feel for what they have in him in his fourth season with the team. He remains the frontrunner for the third running back spot on the depth chart.
