BALLER MOVE: Target ~130
CURRENT ADP: 138.8
ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor attempted 365 passes last season— 239 outside the numbers (61%) and 126 up the middle (76%). He held a 7:3 TD to INT ratio on the year, which ranked seventh in the league. Taylor also proved last season that even when passing lanes break down, he can tuck and run with the best of them. His 568 rushing yards ranked second in the league behind MVP Cam Newton.
The Bills have a bevy of receiving threats, beginning with former first-round pick Sammy Watkins. Watkins had offseason foot surgery, but is expected to be back in time for the regular season. In the Bills’ final six games, he averaged 9.5 targets, 5.8 catches, 113 yards and a touchdown. Next, LeSean McCoy is a dangerous weapon in the backfield. In 12 games last season, he caught 32 passes for 292 yards and two scores. In his career, McCoy has averaged 47 receptions per season, and figures again to play a big role in a potent offense. Finally, tight end Charles Clay is looking to get more involved in the offense in his second season with the team.
According to Fantasy Pros, Taylor is currently being drafted as the No. 17 quarterback, but his dual-threat abilities should lead to him outperforming this number by a long shot. Draft him late as a second quarterback, and there is a good chance he will be the only quarterback you need by midseason.
