From the video

we saw the splits last year, guys. I don't think Jonathan Taylor turned into a worse running back down the stretch of last year, but man did his fantasy numbers do it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Offensive regression and late-season splits create concern for his high ADP

Ian Hartitz assigns a 6/10 concern level to Jonathan Taylor, questioning his ranking ahead of Saquon Barkley. While Taylor has 2,000-plus total yard and 20-touchdown upside, Hartitz notes the Colts are projected to be a bottom-five scoring offense. Evidence shows a sharp decline in Taylor's performance when the QB situation worsened, dropping from 27 PPR points per game (Weeks 1-10) to 12.6 PPR points per game (RB23) from Weeks 12-18.
