This season, Jonathan Taylor is being drafted at his floor. His ceiling is the top non-quarterback in fantasy football.

Our consensus rankings have Taylor ranked as the 9th overall player in PPR formats. If he can regain his 2021 form, then the only thing standing in his way would be another receiver breaking multiple records, a la Cooper Kupp. I know, if ifs and buts were catches and rushes, we'd all be champions, but in this case, it's not so far-fetched.

The Jonathan Taylor puzzle requires understanding three pieces. First is just how impressive his 2021 season was, then why things didn't work out in 2022, and lastly, how his sophomore success could be replicated in 2023.
