Taylor didn't fumble a lot though and was great in the passing game. That narrative I pushed around a lot as well.

The light went on from that point forward, however, as he finished 15th or better in each of his final six games. Taylor's efficiency was outstanding, as his 5.0 YPC ranked ninth, his 88% catch rate first and his 7.3 YPT second among backs. The return of Mack and presence of Nyheim Hines on passing downs will limit Taylor's ceiling a bit, but he's a 22-year-old super-athlete who was already third in rushing yards and sixth in fantasy points as a rookie. Taylor is a solid RB1.

Like if you don't agree, you are being a homer. That said, CEH is being under-rated right now.
BS.
Jonathan Tayler had 1000 carries in college. He had more carries than any of the other workhorses to come out of Wisconsin since Ron Dayne. Pretty much all of them have broken down at some point.
Not even considering CEH, there's zero chance I would have spent a high draft pick on Taylor. [Reply]

Taylor was better in almost every way you can look at it. I happened to quote a fantasy site but who in their right mind would argue CEH was the better choice?
Taylor dominated, he didn't fumble nearly as much as we thought he would and he caught the ball way better than I thought possible.
CEH is good, and will play better this season. But it's insane to ignore what Taylor did last season. [Reply]

500 of his 1,100 yards came in 3 games.
He was good, but not as good as you’re making him out to be. [Reply]

Running backs with low mileage retire early from injuries and running backs with high mileage keep going. You can't act like carries in college 100% predict injury because while it can be a useful tool for betting the odds you actually have no idea.

This reminds me of the guys who say listen such and such running back is actually pedestrian if you take out all his 40+ yard runs. [Reply]

So 6 good games out of 16 where he finished mid pack or better and its unquestionable. :-) [Reply]
