2020 NFL Draft: 10 Prospects destined to be fantasy football studs
1. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Up to this point, we’ve talked about plenty of productive, reliable options at running back. However, none take the cake quite like Jonathan Taylor, who was a complete stud during his days at Wisconsin. Seriously, the numbers tell the complete story.
Throughout his three years as a Badger, Taylor amassed 6,581 yards from scrimmage and 55 total touchdowns. Do you understand what those numbers mean? The guy was an absolute workhorse during his college career and seemed to get better every year — even adding some receiving skills in 2019.
No matter where he ends up, Taylor is going to get the bulk of the workload. There is some obvious concern with the fact that the young running back carried the ball nearly 1,000 times over the last three years. And yet, until we start to see the wheels fall off, his NFL team is going to give him all the work he can handle.
Taylor figures to come off the board early, assuming he lands in a favorable situation. If you’re looking for a rookie sensation to turn the tide for your fantasy team in 2020, look no further.
