R u guys planning on benching him? Seeing Irving on my bench and his 3 points in the lineup was brutal.

They are playing the Patriots & will be without Downs so.......

I guess it depends on who you have to replace him with, but I wouldn't be too thrilled about starting him...

RBs with running QBs are just a crap shoot, mostly crap...

Especially a big guy like Anthony Richardson that will vulture TDs, and he can only throw the ball 60 yards downfield, so it's not like there much PPR value.

Barkley, Henry, Brian Robinson/Ekeler, james cook... I really can't think of a talented RB who is greatly hurt by his running QB, even if they do vulture the occasional TD. 

I think the issue for Taylor, with Richardson is Richardson being so bad in the pass game compared to Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Hurts, Lamar etc.

I keep playing him, he has flashes of speed and moves, but the thing with Taylor is Gamescript.  The Indy offense sucks, they got 6 points last week, playing from behind, even though Taylor stays in on passing downs, unlike Henry/Robinson.

Successful FF RBs need to be on good teams that win, and can lean on the running game, and many Redzone/Goaline opportunities.

It should be easier sledding this week vs the Pats for JT...

I will be benching Taylor, probably for the rest of the season.   My starters will be Barkley, Tracy, Chase, Sutton, JSN.
