Jonathan Taylor Injury: Will He Be A DFS Game-Changer?
Transcript
00:00 If Jonathan Taylor comes back after this injury, "injury" in certainly in air quotes there,
00:11 comes back after the four games, he says, "You know what? It's not worth it. I didn't
00:16 get the trade that I wanted. The Indianapolis Colts did not get the return they wanted for
00:19 me in a trade. They are not going to give me the contract that I want." And Jonathan
00:24 Taylor ends up playing 12 games. You know, I would guess that he would probably be the
00:29 guy who is the skeleton key to winning your fantasy football league in 2023. In drafts
00:34 I have done since he officially got placed on the physically unable to perform list,
00:39 the earliest I've seen him go is the ninth pick of the sixth round. The latest I've seen
00:44 him go was the sixth pick in the eighth round. I mean, if you're getting him this weekend
00:50 when you are drafting with your buddies, you're getting him in the eighth round, he's your
00:53 third running back, he's your second bench guy, I don't really see a way that that goes
00:59 wrong. However, I personally think that this is going to extend for a long time. Le'Veon
01:05 Bell obviously missed the entire of the 2018 season. And while he was holding out, by the
01:10 way, people were steadfastly drafting him in the third round. If you go back and look
01:15 at historical ADP, people were not scared of Le'Veon Bell. They were saying, "There's
01:19 no way, he could not possibly do this. He won't hold out. He will come back. Maybe he
01:24 misses a game. Maybe he misses two games." No, Le'Veon Bell held out for the entirety
01:28 of the 2018 season and then basically was out of the NFL within two seasons after that.
01:34 So there is a historical comparable for this. Obviously it comes down to your risk tolerance.
01:39 As of right now, my risk tolerance is I am not personally taking Jonathan Taylor. Craig,
01:44 the vibes are bad. That is my best analysis. The vibes are really bad.
