Big names to avoid next on fantasy football today in 5.

Welcome to FFT in 5.

I'm Chris Towers.

I'm here with Adam Azer, and it's appropriate that we're talking about big names to avoid because this weekend around the NFL gave us a couple of names.

You might want to avoid the first one being

Jonathan Taylor, who officially requested a trade from the Annapolis Colts after a meeting with

team owner Jim Ursa. Apparently the meeting did not go so well. Some weird quotes from Jim

Ursay, but Jonathan Taylor officially demanded a trade. And I don't actually think it's particularly

likely. He's going to get traded the

Colts don't really have much reason to he doesn't have much incentive to hold out if he wants to

but clearly that situation has degraded and given how much that offense is going to have to rely on

him unless Anthony Richardson is just outstanding from day one. That could get pretty

ugly in Indy. They don't have a ton of reason to trade him, but keeping him happy seems pretty

important if they want to have a chance to compete. Are you worried about Jonathan Taylor in light

of this news? Yeah, and he's still on the Pupp list, and it could be because he wants to get traded,

but I did see one report that said he's legitimately still on the Pup list. Yeah, he had offseason ankle surgery. Right. I don't think he's the first round pick anymore. You know, I think he's an early to mid-second round pick. I'd take Nick Chub over him. I take Tony powered over him, Sequin Barclay over him, and then, you know, the three running backs that everybody's taking over him.

So to me,

he'd probably be about RB7. I do think there's enough reason to worry. You know, what if he gets hurt? Does he just not want to, you know, does he sort of not rush to get back? Mm-hmm. It's just not a great situation right now, and I had enough concerns about that offense anyway.

So I was really flip-loving between him and Nick Chub, and this was enough to put Chub ahead of him.

I'm not stupid, but he's out of the first round.

Taylor's been my RB3, but obviously after this, I am going to move him down because it injects uncertainty into his profile.

There's also some uncertainty about the Seahawks backfield because both Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker suffered injuries over the weekend.
