From the episode

I've talked about like Jonathan Taylor maybe be in a landing spot here in Cincinnati. But in reality, Brett, the more I think about it, the more I'm just like, does it really matter? Because isn't the ball better in Joe Burrow's hand 80% of the game anyways?

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Taylor's Bengals fit questioned; Burrow's 80% touch rate diminishes RB value.

Kingsley Suamataia previously considered Jonathan Taylor as a potential landing spot for the Cincinnati Bengals to address their missing explosive piece out of the backfield. However, upon further reflection, Suamataia questions whether a premium running back matters for the Bengals given that the ball is in Joe Burrow's hands 80% of the game anyway. The Bengals' offensive philosophy prioritizes Burrow's volume over run game development, making the identity of the running back less critical to fantasy production.
