Sam Taylor didn't play in R3 and continues to miss through injury, which is the only thing stopping what looks like a compelling cash cow setup at $446.3k and a 66 BE. The intel is bullish on his value once fit, but he's worthless on your bench in the meantime. Avoid until he's named and ready to go — then revisit urgently.
