The Facts:
Whatever the coaches might have thought in April and May, they've had nothing but good things to say about Taylor during training camp. This team hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Michael Bennett put up 1,296 in 2002, but Taylor already has demonstrated to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell that he has the skill to be a featured back. "He's run the ball physically, which is an important part of that," Bevell said. "He does a nice job of protection and getting out in the routes."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Asked what a typical game-day's work for Taylor might be, Bevell said: "You'd like to get him over 20 carries, and then have four or five balls through the air. Something like that. If we're getting him 20 carries, that means we're doing a great job in the run game." If Bevel makes good on those projections, Taylor -- with 25 touches per game -- is going to deliver stellar draft-day value.
