Jonathan Taylor A Yards-After-Contact Beast
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor, drafted No. 41 overall in the second round, is projected to be the second-most productive rookie running back in 2020. His 3,921 yards after contact are the most in college football -- by 941 yards -- since 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. Taylor's nastiness as a runner coupled with Indianapolis' elite offensive line make him extremely attractive from a real-life and fantasy perspective in Year 1. He could be in somewhat of a timeshare with Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines, but NFL Network's Cynthia Frelund has Taylor ranked as her No. 25 overall running back heading into the season. There's a lot to like here as a low-end RB2.
