Carving out opportunity Taylor's chances of making an impact in New England's backfield have increased after Sony Michel was traded to the Rams on Wednesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports. Impact Prior to Michel being moved, Taylor's roster spot looked much less secure, but the 5-foot-6, 185-pounder has looked good this summer and appears poised to stick as a shifty change-of-pace option behind top back Damien Harris. With pass-catching stalwart James White, power back Rhamondre Stevenson and special-teams ace Brandon Bolden also in the mix, Taylor doesn't have a path to steady volume, but the Arizona product has flashed playmaking ability when given touches. He could emerge as a fantasy factor as the season progresses when injuries hit New England's backfield, or when game scripts favor his style of running.
