As we inch closer to Week 1, two high-end fantasy stars remain major question marks amid contract controversies. Raiders back Josh Jacobs, frustrated with the franchise tag, has yet to report to Raiders camp. Jonathan Taylor's situation with the Colts is even more contentious as he's been granted permission to find a 'suitable' trade partner by Tuesday.
So let’s live in the world where Taylor remains in Indy. Even if Taylor plays in Week 1 and rebounds from a down 2022 campaign, there are major fantasy-only questions about his role. Anthony Richardson taking over at quarterback is fundamentally going to change the entire Colts offense. We know mobile quarterbacks rarely feed targets to their running backs and that was never Taylor’s calling card to begin with. A 20-catch season is within his range of outcomes.
Not having access to receiving work and scoring area production cuts the margin for error for a fantasy RB1 quite thin.I officially moved Jacobs ahead of Taylor in my rankings Jacobs is a great back who should be able to amass another excellent season on the ground. However, he ran into a ton of light boxes and advantageous fronts in 2022 as defenses dedicated back-end attention to number-one wideout, Davante Adams. They picked their poison and elected to live with Jacobs running all over them.
Carr could be frustrating when he’d get to checkdowns too quickly but he’d gotten better about chucking the ball downfield in recent seasons. His willingness to push it vertically to Adams is a big reason the star wideout averaged a career-high in yards per reception in 2022.
