00:00But if you had Jonathan Taylor and lost, I told people on social media, come at me, come after me.
00:05I got to see how this went so spectacularly wrong, because he had one of the best fantasy days in years at running back.
00:1332 attempts, 244 yards, and three touchdowns for Jonathan Taylor.
00:20He's one of your winners, as well as Travion Henderson, who's now finally playing, and Mac Jones, who had a great game and a loss against the Rams.
00:28But let's focus here on Jonathan Taylor for a minute, because fantasy owners are so happy, but they're crying because he's not going to play this week.
00:35You know, to me, I don't know. I mean, you probably would have the perspective on all-time performances.
00:40I'm going to say no, not an all-time performance, but maybe over the last couple of years up there, right? Fair to say?
00:45Certainly. Look, last year, Saquon Barkley had a fantastic season. We're talking about, like, individual game scenarios.
00:51Certainly, Jonathan Taylor's performance in Week 10 is one of the best we've seen in the last 10 years.
00:55I mean, it's just been spectacular. And it's not just that, too. It's what he's done all season long for this team.
01:00And that's why he's now being considered in this MVP race, because it's not a great year for the quarterbacks.
01:05I know Drake May is at the top right now with Matthew Stafford. There's Jonathan Taylor right there with him.
01:09And you can argue, as a second-round pick this year, Jonathan Taylor is easily the fantasy MVP of the season,
01:14because he was not taken in any first round that I was in.
01:17He basically was going somewhere in that second round, and that was, at the time, a pretty good indication.
01:22He had dealt with some injuries the last couple of years, but he has been so good in this offense this year.
01:27And Daniel Jones has been good enough that they move the chains, they give Jonathan Taylor more opportunities.
01:32And that's been the problem the last couple of years for this offense, is that they're not on the field long enough.
01:37When you can sustain some drives and keep getting Jonathan Taylor in the football, good things happen.
01:42Now, what's the threshold to get him to MVP in the NFL?
01:44That's an interesting question, because I think he has to get over 2,000 yards.
01:47The touchdown total has got to be just undeniable, and he's on pace for that.
01:52And in a year where there's Mahomes and Lamar and Josh Allen and none of them are having great seasons,
01:58I know Drake May has had a fantastic coming, emerging season here.
02:02But at the same point, I don't know necessarily if that's the way it's going to go.
02:05But speaking of the Patriots, Travion Henderson's coming out party.
02:07That genie is out of the bottle now.
02:09I don't think you can put it back in.
02:10If you have Ramondre Stevenson, I think you'll hold on to him.
02:13But I will say this, Travion Henderson, fresh legs in New England in the wintertime now coming up, right?
02:19It's going to get colder.
02:20It's 36 degrees in New Jersey.
02:21It's a culture shock from Florida from where I just came visiting your place.
02:25And I will tell you this, this week against the Jets, all of a sudden,
02:29like now you've got the speed of Kyle Williams, the speed of Travion Henderson at the right time.
02:34A lot of incredible things.
02:35And one more thing to you, Matt Jones is a winner, I think, from last week.
02:39It's another one where he put up good stats.
02:42And I think you look back and you say, OK, does Matt Jones play himself into a role somewhere next year?
02:47And considering the quarterback class coming out, I would say the answer is undoubtedly yes.
02:52He will be a starter somewhere for some team next season.
