A lot happened this off season. Literally, hundreds of players changed teams. And 256 rookies were

0:06.0

drafted with even more being signed after the draft. All of this impacts your 2023 fantasy

0:11.6

leagues. Now, I'm here to tell you about the players who lost major value, but very few people

0:16.6

are talking about. Let's begin with a superstar running back. And it's Jonathan Taylor who,

0:21.3

look, he's a fantastic running back, but he lost this offseason for one big reason. With the

0:26.6

fourth pick in the NFL drafts, the Indianapolis Colts selected mobile quarterback Anthony Richardson.

0:32.4

And similar to most mobile quarterbacks, Richardson just doesn't target running backs.

Here are the running back

0:37.8

targets last year for Florida, 16, 9, and 3. That is 28 targets. Just 5% of Richardson's passes

with nine rushing touchdowns, 31% of the team's rushing scores.

That is his targets and his red zone usage.

1:06.5

And in his big breakout season two years ago, where he played the whole year, he led the NFL

1:11.7

in red zone touches and he was pretty decent with over three targets per game 17th amongst

1:16.5

the running back position.

1:17.6

So now that's going to significantly reduce this year.

1:20.4

And with a rookie quarterback in general, the offense is going to be less efficient, meaning

1:23.9

less red zone drives.

1:25.4

Taylor is currently going as the running back for in drafts

1:28.3

behind only McCaffrey, Bejohn Robinson, and Austin Echler, and I personally think this is too soon.
