Colts Rookie RB Jonathan Taylor Goes in the 2nd Round of Fantasy Football World Championships

Why was Taylor selected at 23rd overall?

A shocking pick in the 2020 Fantasy Football World Championships has the fantasy community buzzing. Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor was snagged in the second round with the 23rd overall pick. Taylor was one of 17 running backs picked in the first 24 selections and the first rookie off the board. The 23rd pick is a big jump from Taylor’s Average Draft Position of 37th overall. Could we see Taylor’s ADP continue an upward trend as we get closer to prime fantasy draft season and will he pay off as a late second round pick? That’s the question we asked Sports Illustrated’s fantasy football analyst Shawn Childs and AllColts editor Phillip B. Wilson in the attached video.
