Fantasy Football Player Notes

Jonathan Taylor fell short of expectations last week in a favorable matchup against the New York Jets. Taylor had the third-lowest yards per carry in his five-year NFL career. He also failed to find the end zone, while quarterback Anthony Richardson ran for two scores. Taylor has a tough task this week against the Detroit Lions. Detroit is a top-five defense versus the run this season. They have allowed seven rushing touchdowns but have given up less than 100 total yards per game to enemy backs. Taylor may be more of an RB2 than RB1 this week if the Lions keep him out of the end zone.
