Q: Pick two running backs in standard league: Jonathan Taylor, Jamaal Williams, D’Andre Swift, David Montgomery, Khalil Herbert
A: Standard is all about scoring touchdowns, so I think the best combo of quantity and quality of touches are Jonathan Taylor and Jamaal Williams.
Taylor logged full practices with Deon Jackson out and I’d definitely roll with my first-round pick. The Lions always feel like the softest target but it’s the secondary at the core; the run defense hasn’t been terrible L4 (3.50 defensive rush EPA, 117 yards/game, 4.2YPC) With Justin Fields eating up most of the highest value runs the Chicago backfield goes to the back of the line for me.
Lack of PPR is the obvious ding on Swift.
