Jonathan Taylor is ranked #4 among 110 eligible NFL running backs. A dependable weekly starter you draft with confidence. His final five games came in 8.3 points per game below his average — but his workload held (22.4 touches/game vs 22.2 on the season), so the dip is scoring efficiency, not usage. That usually bounces back.
