This was also the case in the week preceding Week 6's matchup vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, although Taylor was relegated to the sidelines as EJ Manuel made the start.
Taylor is dealing with a minor MCL sprain, but after having a week to rest, and after traveling to London with the team, the outlook that he will play vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars across the pond is a positive one.
Fantasy impact: Taylor has been banged up all season long, but it hasn’t stopped him from putting up fabulous fantasy numbers. The Bills starting signal caller is fifth among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and would have a fantastic matchup on the horizon if he was able to play.
Taylor’s status will likely remain ambiguous since it would be in the Bills’ best interest to force their opponents to unnecessarily game plan for a different quarterback, which means fantasy owners won’t likely know if they can play Taylor until Friday. If he plays at full capacity, Taylor could challenge for a top-five spot in Week 7.
