What if you're wrong about Taylor? While you may think he, or someone like him, isn't going to be worth his price, that's far from a sure thing. What if you "stick" someone with Taylor and he goes for 1,700 yards and 18 touchdowns? That mistake has a ripple effect on your ability to land top players and build your roster the way you want.

Dismissing Taylor's value early could backfire if he outperforms expectations.

The source uses Jonathan Taylor as a cautionary example against the salary cap draft tactic of nominating high-priced players you don't want early to waste opponents' cap dollars. The article warns that dismissing Taylor's value could be a mistake, noting that if he produces 1,700 yards and 18 touchdowns, that misjudgment ripples negatively through your ability to land other top players and build your roster as planned. This illustrates the risk of underestimating players based on preseason skepticism.
