From the episode

There's four backs that are averaging over 25 fantasy points per game. He's one of them. And the next closest guy after that is DeAndre Swift at 21. So there's a big difference so far between having one of those four versus having any other backs here.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Taylor is elite (25+ PPG), on pace for career-high 60 catches, and positioned for red zone volume.

Taylor is one of only four running backs averaging over 25 fantasy points per game, with the next closest (DeAndre Swift) at 21 PPG—a significant gap. He's performed well against tough defenses (Ravens, Chiefs) and now faces the Texans, another tough matchup, but the Colts are catching them at the right time. Taylor has increased his passing game role with 7 catches for 63 yards through two weeks, putting him on pace for almost 60 catches (career high). He's also a pivotal red zone player, especially inside the 10-yard line, where he should see increased volume given Josh Downs is the WR1 and Tyler Warren has been the primary TD target.
