Should I draft Jonathan Taylor or James Cook III? (PPR)
The verdict
Jonathan Taylor
99%confident
Two men the projection trimmed. One of them is a 9 on the dawg scale.
Cook got cut from 17.8 to 16.8, which earns him my standard-issue sympathy and a firm handshake.
Taylor got cut from 21.3 to 18.3 and still projects a point and a half higher, with a 9 in the dawg file to Cook's 6. I don't argue with my favorite metric. 99%.
↻ Re-roll — Cook's grudge is real, just smaller.
