I gave you my “Seven Sleepers” – players to target late in drafts whose upside could change your roster in a positive way. Something that is just as, if not more, important in a fantasy football league is avoiding those players earlier in drafts who can tank your rosters. To help you with that, we are bringing you our “Five Fades” series focusing on players I am fading based on where they are being drafted and concerns I have about their outlooks ::
1. Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND
A late-season surge made the overall makeup of Taylor’s season look strong, but many of the things that made him look pedestrian in 2024 still remain. Questionable QB play and a declining offensive line make him a risky bet relative to the other RBs being drafted in the same range.
