From the episode

Jonathan Taylor kicks off the A tier. This is at the Pittsburgh Steelers... Jonathan Taylor is their best offensive player and arguably their entire offense right now... He's projected for 108 total yards... a slight step down this year for Jonathan Taylor is averaging 2.2 half PPR points fewer than last year... The big difference is career low 4.1 yards per carry through four weeks. I don't think that's a Jonathan Taylor thing at all. Just watching the Colts in general. I think the offensive line is no longer a great unit. I think it's more mediocre.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Taylor's 4.1 YPC is line issue, not talent; still RB5-7 usage despite tough schedule.

Colts are 2.5-point road underdogs at Pittsburgh; Taylor is their best offensive player and 'arguably their entire offense right now'; projected for 108 total yards; averaging 2.2 half PPR points fewer than last year in Daniel Jones games (not significant); expected fantasy points about the same; career-low 4.1 yards per carry through four weeks attributed to offensive line decline (no longer great, now mediocre) and right tackle injuries, not Taylor's performance; RB5-RB7 usage; faced Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Commanders (1st, 4th, 6th, 13th best defenses vs RBs); Steelers also awesome defense but still 'an awesome pick' and would go around RB1.
