Jonathan Taylor's uncertain status raises concerns for fantasy and real-life teams
Jonathan Taylor's uncertain status due to injury and contract disputes is causing hesitation among fantasy football drafters and real-life team decision-makers alike. With his injury keeping him off the field and the contentious contract negotiations between Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts, his playing time and production are both in question. This uncertainty makes it difficult to determine when and where to draft Taylor, as his upside is immense, but the risks are significant. While some may be willing to take the chance on him in the first round, others may prefer to wait until later rounds to avoid the potential pitfalls.
Drafting a quarterback in fantasy football: Who to target and when
When it comes to drafting quarterbacks in fantasy football, it's important to assess the value at each position and determine the right time to select one. While running backs and wide receivers are typically prioritized in the earlier rounds, there are a handful of quarterbacks who offer dual-threat capabilities and high upside. Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson are all elite fantasy options who can contribute with both their passing and rushing abilities. However, it's essential to consider team context, scoring settings, and personal draft strategy when evaluating quarterbacks in fantasy drafts.
Bijan Robinson's fantasy football value
Bijan Robinson, the University of Texas running back, holds great fantasy football potential. While it's unlikely that he goes in the top three picks of fantasy drafts, his value is increasing steadily. With his dynamic play style and ability to contribute in both the running and passing game, Robinson is an attractive option for those looking for a high-upside running back. While opinions on his draft positioning may differ, it's ultimately up to each individual fantasy owner to decide when they feel comfortable taking him. His potential to have a breakout season makes him an appealing fantasy pick overall.
