Similar to Henry: 2026 has felt relatively disappointing for Taylor … and yet, his 19.6 PPR points per game are fourth highest at the position. Can we reasonably expect his career-low 4.2 yards per carry to move in a positive direction without Quenton Nelson around? Probably not. Is it a tough matchup against the league's second-best defense in fantasy points allowed to the position? Sure is. Does the NFL's leader in rushing touchdowns (8) still deserve auto-start mid-tier RB1 treatment at worst any week he's healthy enough to touch the ball 20-plus times? Abso-lutely.

Positive signalProjection

Taylor's 19.6 PPR (4th at position) and 8 rushing TDs support RB1 treatment despite tough matchup.

2026 has felt relatively disappointing, yet Taylor is fourth-highest at the position with 19.6 PPR points per game. Career-low 4.2 yards per carry is unlikely to improve without Quenton Nelson, and he faces the league's second-best defense in fantasy points allowed to RBs. However, as the NFL's leader in rushing touchdowns (8), he deserves auto-start mid-tier RB1 treatment at worst any week healthy enough to touch the ball 20-plus times.
