Zachariason sees Taylor as safe late round one; MVP-caliber upside if Jones regresses.
Jonathan TaylorRBIND
JJ Zachariason likes Jonathan Taylor in the back of round one, noting that before Daniel Jones' injury last season, Taylor was fantasy's MVP and people underestimate his durability and three-down back capability. Zachariason cites Brandon Thorne's number six offensive line ranking for the Colts and concerns about Jones' recovery from an Achilles injury, suggesting Taylor should see even more volume. From a talent, explosive play, workload, and offensive line perspective, Zachariason views Taylor as "pretty safe" in late round one, though he acknowledges being at only 6% allocation on Taylor in best ball due to the season-long-to-best-ball conversion challenge.
