Preseason
Jonathan Taylor emerged as a true bona-fide elite fantasy running back last season. It took him a few weeks to get going, but he ultimately finished as the #6 fantasy running back in PPR format. His ranking prior to Week 10 was 18th, while it bumped up to 4th after Week 10. Taylor joins Saquon Barkley, Kareem Hunt, Eddie Lacy, Doug Martin, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Steve Slaton, and LaDainian Tomlinson as the last rookie running backs since 2000 to rush for over 1,100 yards, have double-digit touchdowns, and reach 35+ receptions. A full season of production plus increased development and improvement could yield a top 5 or even top 3 fantasy finish in 2021. Ball security was seen as a detriment coming out of Wisconsin where he had 18 career fumbles. In his first season in the NFL he fumbled the ball once in 268 touches. Taylor has reached elite status as an NFL running back and should be among the top 3-5 backs selected in upcoming fantasy season.
