From the episode

I think he can come through even in a fairly difficult matchup... I think that's something that could continue this year.

STACKED’s take

Taylor is a volume-based RB5 with high upside if the passing game usage increases.

Jonathan Taylor is ranked as the RB5. While he is a volume-heavy back with no backfield competition, his production is highly dependent on game script (drastic splits between wins and losses). The source notes that while the Ravens' defense is a tough matchup, Taylor's potential for increased passing-game usage—especially if Daniel Jones is less mobile post-injury—keeps him in the top tier.
