I'm JT over James uh yeah, I'm JT over James Cook. In any and all format... Really the biggest difference last year is his receiving role. He I think he set a career high in receptions... he's going to be like one of the bell cows of the league... he's pretty easy to pencil in for like 18 plus points per game... ceiling outcomes here. And JT's probably like a 21 plus point per game guy in that scenario.
STACKED’s take
7th overall; expanded receiving role; 18+ PPG baseline, 21+ ceiling.
Ron Stewart ranks Jonathan Taylor 7th overall in his Superflex rankings and prefers him over James Cook in any and all formats. Stewart highlights Taylor's expanded receiving role as the biggest difference from last year, noting he set a career high in receptions. With no competing pass-catching backs on the Colts roster, Taylor is positioned as a bell cow. Stewart projects him for 18+ PPG baseline and 21+ PPG ceiling, with upside comparable to his 23+ PPG performance last year. Taylor demonstrated a receiving ceiling last year that James Cook hasn't matched at the top level. He has two legendary seasons on his resume—both drafted in the second round or at the one-two turn—making him a reliable high-floor, high-ceiling option. However, Stewart noted that 2023 JT was problematic, cautioning that even 2024 JT had issues.
