Under Sean Payton, the Broncos have been more of a 'sum of their parts' offense. Perhaps acquiring Taylor would change that, however, people said the same thing when they acquired Jaylen Waddle. Fantasy managers have long been burned by Payton's unpredictable shenanigans.

Broncos worst spot: Payton's unpredictable usage despite strong offensive line.

Denver Broncos represents the worst fantasy landing spot for Taylor. Despite a strong offensive line, the Broncos rank just above league average in yards before contact, and their current backs have picked up yards after contact at the lowest rate in the NFL and explosive runs at the fifth-lowest rate. The biggest concern is usage under Sean Payton's 'sum of their parts' offense philosophy. While Taylor would obviously see the most touches, other backs could be mixed in and eat into his workload, similar to when the Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle. Fantasy managers have long been burned by Payton's unpredictable shenanigans.
