Taylor is expected to play in the VFL on Saturday to complete his recovery from an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Taylor needs to play in this game and surgery on his ankle should be put behind him. After that, a recent 100-point outing against West Coast means Taylor could have a little more to offer in fantasy when back at the AFL level.

Taylor (ankle) is listed as a test to return in Round 16 against Melbourne.
ANALYSIS
Taylor didn't take long to recover from ankle surgery and should return at some point in the next two weeks. A season-high score of 100 points in his last game against West Coast means he could be a mid-range value in the right scenarios.

Taylor suffered an ankle syndesmosis injury and will be out for around eight weeks after undergoing surgery, according to Head of Medical Cullan Ball.
ANALYSIS
Taylor had a nice start to the season and was coming off his best game with 21 disposals and nine marks during Round 10. However, he'll now be out to the final weeks of the season and leave it to his teammates to solidify their place in the top eight until he returns.

Taylor suffered a bacterial infection from back and ankle soreness and has ended up in the hospital, according to Head of Medical Cullan Ball. His status will be monitored over the next couple of weeks and a timeline has yet to be established fo his return.
ANALYSIS
Taylor's problems have devoted into a much worse situation as he's now dealing with continual pain. He's logged double-digit disposals just once this season, and Lachan Ash and Lachie Whitfield could continue to shoulder the burden.

Taylor will miss Sunday's game versus Hawthorn due to a back injury.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will miss the tilt with what has been deemed back soreness, so there's a decent chance he won't miss beyond a week because of the issue. While he hasn't been a fantasy darling to date, Taylor did notch 13 disposals, five marks and four tackles in the round 3 clash, suggesting he has some upside when available. Lachie Ash and Lachie Whitefield have moved to half back to replace Taylor and fellow injured defender Zac Williams (hamstring).
