Best and worst landing spots for Jonathan Taylor in fantasy - ESPN

There are two factors that go into determining the best and worst fantasy football landing spots for Jonathan Taylor.

The first is what is best for Taylor. I fully believe he is an elite talent and will succeed anywhere. And any team trading for him has to be in a better situation than the Indianapolis Colts, who have traded their top offensive lineman. They have also had poor quarterback play and often trail, which means a negative game script for the running game. However, Taylor is also going to crater the fantasy value of the running backs on whichever team he is dealt to. That should be considered as well.

1. Minnesota Vikings: I would expect any team that acquires Taylor to use him plenty, but the Vikings and their style of play make a lot of sense. They have run the ball at the sixth-highest rate this season. They want to establish the run and trust their defense. Minnesota has created the third-most yards before contact on RB carries, so its offensive line is creating running lanes for the backs.

This is a situation where Taylor would get to come in and become the immediate focal point on a team very much in the hunt. It could also help open things up in the passing game, which Justin Jefferson managers would enjoy. Lastly, neither of the Vikings' current running backs is a great fantasy option. Since Jordan Mason returned, neither he nor Aaron Jones Sr. has scored seven fantasy points in a game.

2. Seattle Seahawks: This would ruin the fantasy values of Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet,
