49ers' Patrick Taylor: Struggles in first start with SF
Patrick Taylor ran the ball eight times for 24 yards while catching just one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.Taylor was unable to replicate the "next man up" trend of success from being the San Francisco 49ers' starting running back. The 26-year-old struggled to get much going on the ground, leading to quarterback Brock Purdy (26 rushing yards) finishing as the team's leading rusher. Taylor was filling in for rookie Isaac Guerendo (hamstring), whose status for Week 17 is still uncertain. The latter would be the preferred fantasy option against the Lions on Monday if healthy, but Taylor would retain deep-league value if asked to start again for San Francisco.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Favorite to replace Guerendo
Patrick Taylor is preparing for a larger role with fellow running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring/foot) ruled out for Sunday's game at Miami, 95.7 The Game reports.Taylor briefly handled the lead role when Guerendo suffered a foot injury in the second half of a 38-13 win over Chicago in Week 14. Taylor played 10 consecutive snaps right after Guerendo's early exit, taking six carries for 18 yards and a TD in that span, before the San Francisco 49ers pulled a bunch of starters in garbage time and let Ke'Shawn Vaughn take the final two carries. Guerendo made it back for Week 15 to take 75 percent of snaps and all 20 RB touches, but he injured his hamstring along the way and now will miss at least one week, leaving Taylor, Vaughn (practice squad) and Israel Abanikanda as the healthy RBs for an offense that's typically been extremely friendly to the position. Of course, this year's version of the San Francisco offense hasn't been nearly as powerful as the pre-2024 version, and star left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will join Guerendo on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's road matchup with a solid Miami defense.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: No touches Thursday
Patrick Taylor was on the field for three offensive snaps (six percent) and did not record a touch in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.Taylor had an outside chance of starting Thursday's contest after fill-in starter Issac Guerendo missed multiple practices with a foot injury. The latter got a limited session in Wednesday before ultimately starting and logging 16 carries for 57 yards in the loss. Taylor did not record a touch while spending most of his night on special teams (17 snaps). With a few extra days of rest between Thursday's loss and next Sunday's tilt against Miami, Guerendo figures to start again for the 6-8 San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Week 15 role TBD
Patrick Taylor may not start Thursday versus the Rams with Isaac Guerendo (foot) active for the contest.If Guerendo wasn't able to play Week 15, Taylor was lined up to be the San Francisco 49ers' primary runner for at least one game. Having said that, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Guerendo felt good following Wednesday's limited practice, which was enough for the team to clear him. Taylor likely will cede a majority share of touches if Guerendo indeed is able to start, but the former still will be in the mix for snaps along with practice-squad call-up Ke'Shawn Vaughn. In nine appearances this season, Taylor has tallied 14 carries for 50 yards and one TD and gathered in one of two targets for 12 yards.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Finishes game as lead back
Patrick Taylor rushed seven times for 25 yards and a touchdown while failing to pull in his lone target in Sunday's 38-13 win over Chicago.Fill-in starter Isaac Guerendo (foot) went down late in Sunday's win with a lower-body injury, affording Taylor the opportunity to score his first touchdown as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. Guerendo's injury was speculated to be a foot sprain by the coaching staff, but there will likely be a clearer picture painted early in the upcoming practice week. Taylor would stand to gain the most fantasy value as the next man up should Guerendo be forced to miss any time. With a short week on tap ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Rams, Taylor should be the hot add on waivers a week after Guerendo (who scored twice Sunday) had fantasy managers scrambling to acquire him.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Promoted to active roster
The San Francisco 49ers signed Patrick Taylor off their practice squad Wednesday.Taylor's promotion comes as no surprise after the 49ers lost Christian McCaffrey to a knee injury and Jordan Mason to an ankle injury, temporarily leaving rookie Isaac Guerendo as the only healthy running back on the active roster. Guerendo should step in as the lead runner, but Taylor may get a decent chunk of the playing time, especially on passing downs. The 49ers also added Israel Abanikanda via waivers this week, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn is a new addition to the practice squad who could be elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears if the 49ers want a fourth option out of the backfield.

Patrick Taylor: Sticking around in San Francisco
The 49ers signed Patrick Taylor to the practice squad Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Taylor was waived by the 49ers on Friday to make room on the 53-man roster for the return of Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. After clearing waivers, Taylor has opted to stay with the 49ers on the practice squad and will be available for a game day elevation in case San Francisco needs depth at running back. Taylor mostly played on special teams in eight regular-season games before the 49ers' Week 9 bye, but he managed to post seven carries for 25 yards and added one catch for 12 yards over that span.

Patrick Taylor: Dropped by San Francisco
The 49ers waived Patrick Taylor on Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.With Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) expected to return for San Francisco's Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, Taylor has been dropped from the active roster. The Memphis product appeared in eight games this season, logging seven carries for 25 yards and one reception for 12 yards across 95 total snaps (18 offensive and 77 on special teams). Taylor could find his way back onto the 49ers' practice squad if he clears waivers.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Extra work Thursday
Patrick Taylor rushed five times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for 12 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.Starter Jordan Mason (shoulder) missed chunks of Thursday's victory due to injury, opening the door for Isaac Guerendo (10-99-0) and Taylor to split snaps in the interim. The San Francisco 49ers' fourth-round rookie had the standout performance in the starter's absence, while Taylor produced just 3.2 yards per tote in his first action on offense this season. The 26-year-old Taylor could maintain a small role in San Francisco's Week 7 game plan if Mason is forced to sit against Kansas City due to the AC joint injury he sustained Thursday.
