JJ Zachariason holds a 6% allocation on JT in best ball, citing conversion challenges from season-long formats and concerns about Indianapolis's offensive regression after last year's top-ranked unit. While acknowledging JT will receive volume and remains a top-five RB, Zachariason projects JT at a 11% target share ceiling rather than 15%, limiting upside relative to peers like James Cook who have room for target share growth.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
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.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026
Zachariason is cautious on Jonathan Taylor at his best ball ADP cost, especially on DraftKings where full PPR scoring penalizes his limited passing game role; Taylor has maxed out at an 11% target share, limiting his ceiling in PPR formats.NegativeValueJul 22, 2026
JJ Zachariason is not that high on Jonathan Taylor at his current ADP in best ball; later in the conversation, he expresses concern about Taylor's cost in DraftKings best ball specifically, noting that in full PPR scoring, Taylor's 11% target share limits his ceiling relative to his ADP.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026
Zachariason believes Jonathan Taylor is the exact right bet out of a five-running-back cluster that includes Chase Brown, H-back, and Henry; he's evaluating which running back from this group could have been competing with mid-to-early first-round guys in retrospect.NegativeBustJul 15, 2026
Analyst is fading Jonathan Taylor this year due to concerns about Daniel Jones' consistency and ability to replicate last year's performance; if Jones can't perform, it cascades negatively to Taylor's production.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026
Mentioned as an aging veteran running back with high mileage going in early rounds, creating contingent value for backup running backs.NegativeProjectionJul 8, 2026
Zachariason has a strong fade on Jonathan Taylor despite his elite talent and ability to score 40 points in a week; Taylor benefited from the Colts' unsustainable hot start (best in NFL touchdowns per game weeks 1–10), averaging 27.5 PPR points per game in that span but only 12–13.3 PPR points per game after week 10; now facing a Colts offense with a torn-Achilles quarterback (Daniel Jones) and backup Riley Leonard or Richardson; Zachariason notes this mirrors the Saquon situation last year and suggests Chase Brown could outscore Taylor in full PPR this season.NegativeBustJul 1, 2026
JJ Zachariason's episode title frames Jonathan Taylor as a fade candidate in best ball formats, suggesting downside risk or reduced upside relative to draft capital expectations.
