What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Racklet and it is Wednesday, August 4th.

0:22.0

Oh boy!

0:25.0

News continues to come out of Indianapolis so we do have to talk about what to do with

0:29.0

Jonathan Taylor today on the podcast. And I want to stick in the AFC and identify a breakout

0:35.5

player from all 16 teams in the AFC will do breakout players from the NFC tomorrow. These

0:41.6

are guys who aren't necessarily squarely on the fantasy radar in some instances. Some

0:47.0

guys may be late round guys. Some guys might even be middle round guys. None of the early

0:51.8

rounds, right? But anyway, we'll do that on the show today. Try and stay away from the

0:57.0

obvious names if I can. But in some instances, well, not gonna be the easy thing to do. Regardless,

1:48.0

So September likely out, maybe longer than that. So how does this impact Jonathan Taylor?

1:55.0

Because one of the arguments I made about Carson Wentz being off the field and not really moving

2:00.0

Taylor in my rankings was, well, hey, their offensive line is awesome. And a big part of that

2:06.0

awesomeness. Well, it is Quentin Nelson in the interior. So how does this change things? Well,

2:12.0

the Colts do have some depth along the offensive lines. So they aren't in a terrible position.
