Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Officially questionable for Week 18
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor will figure to act as the primary backup to Brady Cook if cleared to suit up Week 18, while if he's unable to play, Hendon Hooker will stand to be elevated from the practice squad and handle the No. 2 role. While Taylor initially avoided an injury designation for New York's loss to the Patriots in Week 17, he was ultimate made inactive for the contest due to a personal issue and the knee injury he's been nursing since mid-December.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Limited in Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor continues to work through a lingering knee injury that popped up in mid-December, so Friday's practice report should shed light on whether the veteran signal-caller will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills. If Taylor is unable to play, then Hendon Hooker would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind Brady Cook.

Rotowire
Taylor (knee/personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Set to be Jets' QB2 in Week 17
Rotowire
Taylor (knee/personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England and will work as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Available as backup for Week 16
Rotowire
Taylor (groin/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
While managing his pair of injuries, Taylor wasn't available for last week's loss to the Jaguars, paving the way for undrafted rookie Brady Cook to make his first career start. Cook is set to direct the offense once again in Week 16, but Taylor will be available to serve as the No. 2 option after he followed a pair of limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday. If Taylor is able to turn in a full slate of practices next week, he could return to the starting lineup for the Jets' penultimate game of the season against the Patriots, though Cook may retain the top job with a solid showing versus New Orleans.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Estimated as limited
Rotowire
Taylor (groin) was estimated as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has already stated that Brady Cook will start Sunday versus the Saints, but one of Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) will operate as the No. 2 quarterback, health depending. A knee injury suffered Week 14 against the Dolphins prevented Taylor from taking the field during New York's loss to Jacksonville in Week 15.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Won't start this week
Rotowire
Taylor (groin) won't start Sunday's game at New Orleans but could be active as the backup if he's healthy, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn named Brady Cook as his Week 16 starter, with the backup situation depending on injuries to Taylor and Justin Fields (knee). Either way, Taylor isn't assured of seeing the field again this season.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Aaron Glenn noted Friday that Taylor (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
The same applies to Justin Fields (knee), which sets the stage for Brady Cook to draw the start at QB for the Jets in Week 15, with Adrian Martinez slated to be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the team's backup. Taylor's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Dec. 21, when the Jets face the Saints on the road.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rotowire
Taylor (groin) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Neither was Justin Fields (knee), so both Taylor and Fields have opened Week 15 prep with consecutive DNPs. Brady Cook has been handling first-team reps in practice, and the undrafted rookie out of Missouri looks like the favorite to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Taylor or Fields could reenter the starting mix by practicing in any capacity Friday.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 15 starting QB TBD
Rotowire
Coach Aaron Glenn noted Monday that the Jets are still gathering information on the health and availability of Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee), Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fields was inactive for Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins, and Taylor lasted only two series in the contest because of a groin injury before being replaced by rookie Brady Cook. In terms of the Jets' QB plans for a Week 15 game against the Jaguars, Glenn indicated Monday that the team will "have to see what guys are healthy enough to go out there and give us a chance to win." The team's signal-caller situation likely won't gain any clarity until at least Wednesday, when the Jets' next practice/injury report is posted.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Exits Sunday's game
Rotowire
Taylor was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a groin injury.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Taylor had a solid game in Week 13 against Atlanta with 23.3 Fantasy points, and he's worth using as a low-end starter in deeper leagues in Week 14 against Miami. The Dolphins are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and three of the past four guys against Miami have scored at least 21.4 points. Taylor also gets Jacksonville in Week 15 and New Orleans in Week 16 if you're looking ahead, and he's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Throws TD, runs in another in win
Rotowire
Taylor completed 19 of 33 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.
Taylor threw for only 37 yards on 10 first-half passes but connected with Adonai Mitchell for a 52-yard touchdown in the third quarter to tie the score at 14-14. With the Jets trailing 24-17 in the fourth quarter, Taylor led a 15-play, 65-yard touchdown drive, which he capped with a game-tying 10-yard touchdown run with 1:53 remaining. Taylor then led the Jets into range for Nick Folk's game-winning 56-yard field goal on the final play. After notching his first win in three starts this season, Taylor figures to remain atop the depth chart in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Throws one TD pass in Week 12 loss
Rotowire
Taylor completed 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also rushed five times for 19 yards.
Taylor made his second start of the season, this time as a result of Justin Fields being benched. Taylor connected with John Metchie for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and Taylor's interception came on a meaningless deep heave on the game's final play. The Jets' passing game was noticeably more effective with Taylor after Fields threw for 116 yards or fewer in four of his last five starts prior to losing his starting role. While the team's quarterback situation remains fluid heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons, Taylor likely cleared the low bar needed to earn another start.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Taylor is expected to start for the Jets in Week 12 at Baltimore with Justin Fields getting benched, and Taylor could be the starter for the rest of the season. He's worth adding in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB. In three appearances this season, Taylor has scored more than 20 Fantasy points just once, which was Week 3 at Tampa Bay. The Jets offense is a mess, and Taylor doesn't offer much upside, especially with Garrett Wilson (knee) on injured reserve. That said, Taylor could be needed in deeper formats, and the Jets do face Miami in Week 14, Jacksonville in Week 15 and New Orleans in Week 16, if you want to trust him in those matchups.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Practices without restrictions
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Taylor had been in contention to replace Justin Fields under center and start Week 8 versus the Bengals, but he was instead ruled out due to a knee injury. That paved the way for Fields to log his best performance of the season in the 39-38 win, potentially reaffirming his grip on the starting job. That said, head coach Aaron Glenn has yet to confirm a No. 1 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Browns, as he was noncommittal about Fields entering the Week 9 bye. It shouldn't be long before Glenn provides further clarification.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Ready to practice after bye week
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Taylor (knee) will resume practicing this week, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
After the Jets fell to 0-7 following a 13-6 loss to the Panthers on Oct. 19, all signs seemed to point to Taylor displacing the struggling Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback. However, Taylor picked up a knee injury at some point during his appearance in relief of Fields in the loss to Carolina, and Taylor ended up being a limited participant throughout Week 8 prep before being ruled out ahead of the Jets' matchup with the Bengals. Fields continued to direct the offense and turned in one of his best performances of the season en route to leading the Jets to a come-from-behind 39-38 victory over Cincinnati, but Glenn remains non-committal on a starting quarterback coming out of the team's Week 9 bye. Fields' stellar outing might be enough to give him the early edge on the starting nod for Sunday's game against the Browns, even though Taylor looks like he could be back to full health. The Jets' first Week 10 practice report will be posted Wednesday and reveal whether Taylor remains limited or has upgraded to full activity.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Won't play Week 8
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Head coach Aaron Glenn opted not to name a starter throughout Week 8 prep, but Taylor's absence due to a knee contusion means Justin Fields will be under center for Sunday's road game, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, while Brady Cook is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster. Taylor started the week splitting first-team reps with Fields, but the former's knee injury is severe enough for him to not travel with the team to Cincinnati. The Jets are on a bye for Week 9, so Taylor will have more time to recover and return for Week 10 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 9, though whether he starts against Cleveland will largely depend on Fields' performance in Week 8.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Taylor (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor said he took a helmet to the knee in this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers. He replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime of that game. Taylor and Fields have subsequently split reps in practice. The Jets have yet to announce which quarterback will start Sunday in Cincinnati, but Taylor will first need to show that he's healthy enough to suit up in order to remain in starting consideration.
