Fred Taylor should be a decent option at running back this year, and could be a decent number two option if he runs like he did last year.

Sharing carries with Jones-Drew, Taylor put up 1200 rushing yards and a handful of touchdowns last year. He averaged 5.4 yards a carry, pretty hefty, and stayed healthy all year long.

I expect a similar year, hopefully with more touchdowns. Taylor is a stud running back who had injuries early and often in his career. He may be 32, but he has a couple more years left in those legs. I like Taylor a lot, and may have him ranked a tad high just because I like the guy, but the Jaguars have improved their defense, brought in some new receivers to spread the field, and will run the ball very well and often this year.

Take a look at Taylor, I think he will slip into the 6th or 7th round of most drafts, possibly lower. He will be a solid running back who may not give you the huge games you like to see, but will give you reliable points week in and week out.
