Vikings' Jordan Taylor: Early leader for third WR role
Jordan Taylor may have the early lead on the competition for Minnesota's third-receiver role, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He's impressed coaches and also has a head start since he's previously worked with Minnesota Vikings assistant head coach-offensive advisor Gary Kubiak's offensive system.The competition for the third receiver job is fairly wide open with Laquon Treadwell's struggles last season. However, the Vikings offense rarely utilizes the third receiver with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs getting almost all the targets, plus second-round draft pick tight end Irv Smith Jr. may function as a defacto third receiver.

Jordan Taylor: Schedules two workouts
Jordan Taylor has workouts scheduled with the Vikings on Monday and the Seahawks on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.Taylor missed the entire 2018 season after having surgery on both hips. He's spent his entire pro career with the Broncos, landing on the practice squad as an undrafted rookie in 2015, then catching 29 passes in 26 games between the 2016 and 2017 campaigns. These workouts are Taylor's opportunity to show two teams in search of wide receiver depth that he's fully healthy and ready to contribute once again. He'll hope to stick on the back end of a 53-man roster as a No. 4/5 receiver that can handle a sizable workload on special teams.

Broncos' Jordan Taylor: Dealing with soreness, weight loss
The Denver Broncos can activate Jordan Taylor (hip) next week, but he's still battling soreness and has lost 15 pounds since his surgeries, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic Denver reports.Jhabvala relayed that Taylor still feels as though he's a ways away. Even if things were to break in the manner most favorable to Taylor's fantasy prospects -- he regains full health and the Broncos trade away one of their veteran receivers -- Taylor would still be no better than fifth or sixth in the receiver hierarchy behind the likes of first-year players Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick. If Taylor's activated, it'd likely be more for special teams purposes than anything else.
