Fred Taylor (1 Viewer)

Raiders Fan

The Black Hole
I am currently doing 2 keeper drafts and in 1 he is still available in round 4 of a 12 team keeper league where you keep 5 (fanball). He had his best YPC in his carrer and playing in 15 games.. Most since 2006. Signed an extension. Why is Drew going so far in front?? Is it over-hype for the new guy to take over or facts Drew has passed him?? Everything I read Taylor will still be the man if not more. I hope he is there in a few picks for me as he could be a steal.. Obviously his value is very high where he is falling too.

Good info here. :thumbup:
Well, you may have answered your own question there. He had his best YPC in his career and played in 15 games, yet Jones-Drew still outscored him.
I am going by how far they are being drafted apart.. Drew was a keeper in my league and here we are end of round 4 and Taylor is there. His value is a ton better then Drew... As we know value is key to fantasy football..
 
I think Fred is underrated for 2 reasons.

People have questions about his durability, and people overrate MJD due to all the TDs last year. I think the durability issues aren't as bad as ADP indicates, because Fred is no longer an every down back and doesn't take the beating he used to take. The TDs are a valid concern because he probably won't have many at all, but in the 7th or 8th round if you can get a guy with a good shot at 1,000 yards rushing it sounds like a steal to me even if he only puts up 2 or 3 TDs.
