From the episode

I have a pretty strong fade on Jonathan Taylor right now... he's got, he has the ability to drop 40 every single week. He is one of the most talented running backs in the NFL, but I'm, I have the same feeling that this is kind of what happened with like Saquon last year... you're coming into an offense that has a quarterback with a torn Achilles.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Strong fade despite talent; benefited from unsustainable TD pace early.

Zachariason has a strong fade on Jonathan Taylor despite his elite talent and ability to score 40 points in a week; Taylor benefited from the Colts' unsustainable hot start (best in NFL touchdowns per game weeks 1–10), averaging 27.5 PPR points per game in that span but only 12–13.3 PPR points per game after week 10; now facing a Colts offense with a torn-Achilles quarterback (Daniel Jones) and backup Riley Leonard or Richardson; Zachariason notes this mirrors the Saquon situation last year and suggests Chase Brown could outscore Taylor in full PPR this season.
