ANALYSIS: Patrick Taylor is in line to be the feature back for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.
After getting some work in Week 14 against the Bears when Isaac Guerendo went down late in the game, Taylor played only 6% of the snaps last week and failed to record a touch.
But now Guerendo is being hampered by a hamstring injury and is doubtful for the Niners' matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.
After losing RBs Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell to season-ending injuries, it now looks as if the 49ers will be without RB Isaac Guerendo for Sunday’s game vs. Miami. Guerendo is dealing with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play, per source. pic.twitter.com/PyqyBCqPoT

Taylor has a decent matchup against Miami and gets the benefit of running behind one of the better offensive lines in football. With only an inexperienced Israel Abanikanda behind him on the depth chart, Taylor is expected to take the majority of snaps for San Francisco. He's a solid RB2/FLEX option in any format.
