Ranked in tier one alongside Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Christian McCaffrey, though speaker notes tier one could be split with Gibbs and Robinson in tier one and Taylor and McCaffrey in tier two. Taylor finished the first 10 weeks of last season on pace for 2,378 yards and 29 touchdowns with 17 actual touchdowns through week 10, making him the number one and most valuable player in fantasy through the first 10 games; however, he ranked 24th in points per game in the final seven weeks due to systemic risk from Daniel Jones' torn ACL recovery, loss of Pitman, and natural regression. Still ranked second in tier after McCaffrey due to less systemic risk in San Francisco's offense, but Taylor remains capable of 30 touchdowns with high upside on the ground and sufficient receiving work.PositiveProjectionNo date
Expected to be a top-six pick, though JSN might occasionally mix in ahead of him depending on preference.
