smash10033 126 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 next year.. not listening to ANY fantasy football radio. All summer the JT hype was mind numbing. I draft a guy as my RB2... so he can spell Mack. I want to smash my computer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GurleyTHIRTY 124 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I think that’s a bogus rumor. Taylor is a much better RB than Mack. It’s why the colts spent such high draft capital on this guy. It’ll be a 50/50 split for the first few weeks and then Taylor will start to take over. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will probably start off slow but efficient and take over after a few weeks and get 60%+ of the workload which is more than enough to be an RB2 with his workload.

GOAT-dell Beckham 117 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 As disheartened as I’d be as a Taylor owner, my perspective from not owning him feels different. He’s going to have opportunities to out play Mack, that’s a certainty. If Taylor can break off a long run due to his explosiveness, He’s going to shift what could be a 65/35 split in his direction rather quickly in Week One. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post timexsocialclub 1,397 Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 Taylor v. Mack is not close. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional, I don't care what reports are coming out of Indy. Jay Tay is going to FEAST in this offense. Repeat: FEAST. 7 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FooserX 208 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I took JT 3.01 in a 10 team league and missed out on a LOT of quality WR's for him as well as Conner, Gurley, DJ... My take on this is: FF has become more than just a game for me. There is a psychological element to this for me. I've won my league 2 years in a row...it's very easy to "play it safe" and pick the best picks, and have the most well rounded team. I have this sick fascination with rolling the dice on players with upside, because hitting on them is much more "psychologically" rewarding for me. Stashing players on my bench with upside, and reaching for JT is FUN. lol. In reaching for JT early, I also had to expect tier 2 WR's and QB's other than the top 6 to step up this season, so I had to have faith that Woods and Metcalf will become much better WR's. Just because analysts aren't putting them in the top 10 now, doesn't mean they won't in the middle of the season. So again, making the decision to draft Woods/Ridley/Metcalf over Julio, Golladay, Hopkins is another "gamble" for me. I also gambled on Brady over picking Dak or someone...all as a result of picking JT so early. It was a domino effect for me. So yeah...it's tough to swallow that JT might not live up to the hype this year, but at the same time...there is a THRILL of rolling the dice in selecting someone other than ADP players. I'm okay with that. And if I want to whine and wishful think his production into fruition...that's fun too. X 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smeeze 6,086 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The funniest part about all of this is the Mackheads doing victory laps before either player has taken a snap in 2020...

MBarbarian 968 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is coachspeak out of respect for Mack. They want JT running all day long. Their OC said so. Also, it's the last year of Mack's rookie deal. They want to keep his trade value high. Getting knocked down the depth chart by a rookie before the season starts would make other GMs question whether there's something wrong with Mack. From August 18th after JT emerged as training camp star: Quote Known for his game-breaking speed and knack for hitting a home run during his three seasons at Wisconsin, the Colts rookie has been showing off a complete game in the first two training camp days of his career, the kind that offers tantalizing possibilities to an Indianapolis offense that famously wants to Run the Damn Ball as much as possible. “I look at him and say, ‘I would hate to have to tackle this guy all game long,'” offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said. ... “Marlon is the starter,” Reich said. “I mean, Marlon has earned it. … We’re going to continue to take the same approach that we have, where it’s week in and week out, hot hand and all those things. We’re expecting a big year from all of our backs.” 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n00chness 86 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 6 hours ago, SharkSwimmer said: The Athletic's Zak Keefer said the Colts drafted RB Jonathan Taylor to "spell [Marlon] Mack mid-game, keeping him fresher for the fourth quarter." It's enough to make Taylor drafters sick. But we've known for a while Mack wouldn't be completely phased out of Indy's offense, and that Taylor would have to assert himself to take over the backfield. Head coach Frank Reich has pledged to "ride the hot hand" this season. Those who drafted Mack could get solid usage out of the back this year, including this week against what should be a bad Jacksonville defense.

Sivaro 943 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 This reminds me of the Chubb/Hunt gameplan. Taylor is the workhorse by week 4. Mack spells and splits recceptions with Hines. I am rolling Taylor out this week and hoping for a goal line TD or 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
