00:02 - So I wanna get your take on both these guys real quick

00:05 before we even get into it.

00:06 Let's talk about Jonathan Taylor, who also got paid.

00:09 So he's a happy boy,

00:10 as I think a lot of people are in fantasy.

00:12 He's not going anywhere.

00:14 He's gonna play with Anthony Richardson.

00:16 Shane Stikin must be a very happy camper right now.

00:19 So your expectations for Taylor,

00:21 I was just in the last segment talking about

00:23 how I wanna start him over guys like Najee Harris.

00:25 Are you of that same mind that despite the matchup,

00:28 you got Taylor back on the field,

00:29 you got him put him back in your lineup, correct?

00:32 - I think considering the options

00:33 that most teams are staring at right now,

00:35 yeah, a lot of people are gonna be having to start him,

00:37 but you need to temper expectations.

00:39 We know what this matchup is against Tennessee.

00:41 It is not good.

00:43 It's not pretty.

00:44 Also the Colts have come out and said,

00:47 "We're not insane.

00:48 We just paid this guy and gave him the bag.

00:50 We're not gonna run him back and play him full-time snaps

00:53 in his first game, first week of practices."

00:55 So I think Taylor's gonna play full-time,

00:58 well, gonna play limited snaps today.

01:00 You're looking at probably like 40, 50% of the snaps.

01:03 I think you're praying that Taylor gets a goal line toed

01:05 and falls in the end zone.

01:06 That's not a bad prayer to make

01:09 considering where we're at in the fantasy season.

01:11 So I think in a lot of instances, yeah,

01:14 your force is starting this week.
