Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Jonathan Taylor missed time with injuries and inconsistent quarterback play put fantasy football managers in a tough spot out of the gates. But he was still RB5 in points per game, and he ended the year on an extremely high note, scoring the fourth-most points among all non-QBs despite a bye week in Week 14. When healthy, Taylor is still a top 5 fantasy RB and the engine of the Colts offense. He ended the season with 29-plus carries and 125-plus rushing yards in three straight games. I think he will be a value in 2025 drafts at 26 years old.	James Cook tied a bow on his third season with weekly RB1 finishes in more than half of his games, en route to his second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. Cook was RB8 overall and RB10 in points per game as he took a massive touchdown leap. He went from just 2 rushing TDs in 2023 to 19 in 2024. Concerns about Josh Allen taking all the red-zone TDs were overblown. The scores helped boost Cook's production as played fewer than 50% of the snaps. Even so, we have a 28-game sample of Cook in Joe Brady's offense. He has averaged 15.5 points per contest - good for low-end fantasy RB1 production.
