Jonathan Taylor is your 1.01 now.

JT’s physical attributes aren’t in dispute. There’s really no question he was the 1.01 in last years draft and nobody besides Lamb was really a consideration

Man I dunno. I had JT 1.01 but it’s a stretch to say there wasn’t a consideration. I’ll fully admit I had CEH 1b. Also not afraid to admit I had Jeudy ahead of Lamb, for that matter.

Just my opinion but I respect differing opinions. For me it was JT and Lamb. Then dobbins, jeudy swift,CEH, and so on down the line. I’d have to check my notes but that’s what I can remember as of right now

Oddly enough, I didn’t have any 1sts in last years draft but have ended up with Taylor, Dobbins, Swift, Gibson, Higgins, and Claypool.

My primary league (in my sig) is historically very difficult to get RB outside of the draft unless you’re willing to part with a stud a year too early vs on time (let alone a year too late, then you’re SOL) so RBs rule the beginning of the draft if they are even in a semi-decent situation. I had JT as my 1.01, followed by Swift, Dobbins, CEH, Lamb, and Jeudy and still see it close to that with the exception of CEH over Lamb and Jeudy.

All I know is it would take more than anyone in my league is willing to pay to pry any of those top 3 RB away from me at this point lol

You need to reread this thread from the beginning. There were some last year - and it was more than just a couple of contrarians - that contended that his fumbling and lack of ability to catch would force him into only being the thunder part of a RBBC.

Definitely not true. CEH was neck-and-neck with him.

Wow, nice haul getting those 3 RBs!

Not much of JT now, doing very well. Slow start but has looked fantastic the past few weeks. Still maddening the usage. Hines doing nothing, and Mack still getting touches (showcased?). Will we see an increase in usage or are the Colts keeping him fresh?

I mean he's doing very well with what he is getting. Talent finds a way. I'm not concerned at all

Mack is definitely being showcased. I guess he could be a trade deadline target for some teams, but I'm not sure anyone pays enough for the Colts to let him go. I think Mack is still a solid backup plan in case anything happens to the other 2.

RB3 getting touches isn't really anything new here though. Friggin Wilkins was getting these touches last year and he's JAG.

I've said it before but I'll take an RB1 finish with <20 touches per game to keep him fresh, healthy, and so he can have a lengthy career. The CMCs and Barkleys are awesome when they have dominant 25 ppg seasons, but when it comes with the baggage, I'll gladly take 20 ppg

I don't really see a good argument for anyone other than JT as the top RB in dynasty as it stands.

Only one close is swift imo, but it's JT. Production and age can't be denied. Dude is a stud and doesn't look to be slowing down

Yup. Just posted my thesis in the other thread lol. I don't get many top draft picks, but had the 1.02 last year and he was a slam dunk for me there. Thank god for the CEH 1.01 hype.

Yeah, but Swift has more injury concerns currently, and his production is built around receptions, and he's in a situation that will not be repeated. There is zero WR talent on that roster, and that will change. JT has proven to be a top end rusher, and shown the ability in the receiving game, and Swift has just not shown much in the running game. His script has more of a likelihood of being flipped negatively. I roster both, and it's JT who holds more value to me.

This was huge for me too in getting my one share of him. As well as landing Swift and Dobbins. I liked CEH coming in, but couldn't have taken him over any of the other 3. CEH was the first RB off the board in all four of my drafts.

With the emergence of Pittman and a healthy line, JT looks unstoppable. Hes played some tough defenses and still put up six straight games with 100+ yards and at least one TD. Just imagine what this offense could do with another capable WR.

[Pac_Eddy]

Anyone else concerned that JT is getting too many touches?

I love that he's destroying defenses and lighting up the scoreboard, but if I'm a coach or GM, I want him to last.

Shades of CMC here...

This is what happens to every RB. Ride them hard for 3-5 years and then they turn to dust. It's rare to have an RB who plays at a high level over 8-9 years or something.

That said, Taylor is more built to handle a big workload than CMC is.
