STM Take

Taylor's 2025 climb to STTM #2 tier 1 (from #11 tier 3 the previous year) restores the 2021 ceiling that briefly looked like the peak. 380 carries for 1,965 yards (5.17 YPC) and 20 rushing TDs is one of the heaviest workloads in the field. The profile is now built on volume; the receiving game (57 targets, 46 catches) is real but secondary.

Taylor was born in Salem, New Jersey, set the state's high school rushing record, and finished his Wisconsin career as the first FBS player to rush for 6,000-plus yards in any three-year span and a two-time Doak Walker Award winner. Indianapolis took him 41st overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. He led the NFL in rushing yards in 2021, won the rushing TD title that year and again in 2025, was first-team All-Pro in 2021, and has earned three Pro Bowls.

Strengths

Led the NFL in rushing TDs in 2025 (second time after 2021), with 380 carries and 1,965 yards across all 17 games.
Career 4.9 yards per carry on 7,598 attempts holds steady across six seasons including the 2023 down year.

Concerns

380-carry workload in 2025 is the heaviest in years for any back; the wear-down risk in 2026 is real.
Three-year stretch from 2022-2024 was tier 3 or worse; one elite year can mask the recent variance band.

What to watch: Whether the receiving usage (77 targets in 2025) holds in 2026 to protect the PPR floor on volume regression weeks.
