Jonathan Taylor The Fastest Ball-Carrier In 2021
3 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has not only surpassed Derrick Henry as the No. 1 fantasy running back in 2021, but he has the two fastest speeds (Henry is third on the list) in terms of mph as a ball-carrier through 10 weeks. The fastest two speeds of any ball-carrier (rusher, passer or receiver) belong to Taylor from Weeks 8 and 9, and the fastest speed (22.05 mph) on the year came on his 78-yard touchdown in Week 9. The 22-year-old has taken the league by storm in his second season. Taylor is tied with Henry for the most rushing yards (937) on 161 carries, and he's also scored 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving). He's had an incredible stretch of five 100-yard rushing games in his last seven contests and is making a case to be the No. 1 overall fantasy pick in 2022.
