Breakdown Jonathan Taylor

    Overview

  • Just about every team utilizies the dreaded 'running backs by comittee' policy. Two solid #1 starters are hard to find.
  • Experts don't even rank him among RB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 34th with 118.40 total points (8.46 avg).

Breakdown Dak Prescott

    Overview

  • A good quarterback can mean the world of difference in such a pass heavy league.
  • Experts don't even rank him among QB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 13th with 245.64 total points (12.93 avg).
  • Currently 191.88 points behind the leader: Josh Allen
  • Average points in the past two weeks have increased by 10.6 PPG. That is great, but how long can he perform at this level? If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • QB Stats

  • Top 20 in pass yards with 3371 (177.42 per game) and is currently ranked 16th among QB.
  • Top 10 in pass tds with 28 (1.47 per game) and is currently ranked 8th among QB.

  • Known to throw for big gains. If your league has bonus points for long TDs then this guy would be great to have.
  • Unfortunately two players have the same exact name and his rating may not be entirely accurate at this point. We are working on fixing situations like this!

    • Season Outlook

  • PASS YDS: 4453, PASS TDS: 31, RUSH YDS: 196, RUSH TDS: 2
