From the article

Taylor and Derrick Henry are two of just 15 RBs to clear 300 carries in consecutive campaigns over the past 20 years. Of the 13 remaining ball carriers, just six finished inside the top 12 fantasy RBs in the following season, and only two have finished inside the top eight. Furthermore, only four of those 13 backs played every game the next season. The question is not how often Taylor will be fed. It's whether he can withstand the projected feast.

Negative signalBust

Taylor's back-to-back 300-carry seasons signal durability risk; only 6 of 13 peers finished top-12.

Liz Loza notes that Taylor and Derrick Henry are two of just 15 RBs to clear 300 carries in consecutive campaigns over the past 20 years. Of the 13 remaining ball carriers, just six finished inside the top 12 fantasy RBs in the following season, and only two finished inside the top eight. Furthermore, only four of those 13 backs played every game the next season. Loza questions whether Taylor can withstand the projected heavy workload.
