Heat is off Tyrod Taylor for now, but is he a safe fantasy play?

Less than two weeks ago, at the height of fantasy football draft season, layers of uncertainty surrounded Tyrod Taylor.

Would he be healthy after suffering a concussion in the preseason? How would he perform this season without top wideout Sammy Watkins, and with two newcomers -- Jordan Matthews and rookie Zay Jones -- at the position? And would he even remain the starter with rookie fifth-round pick Nathan Peterman breathing down his neck after a strong preseason?

Taylor made his health a non-issue by returning to practice last week, and he quieted talk of a quarterback controversy by completing 16 of 28 passes for 224 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, while rushing eight times for 38 yards, in the Bills' season-opening 21-12 win over the New York Jets.
