5) Jonathan Taylor - 2022
In 2021, Jonathan Taylor was one of the breakout stars of an Indianapolis Colts team that would have made the playoff for a consecutive season if not for a shocking 11-26 loss at the league-worst Jacksonville Jaguars on the final gameday. With career-high numbers in every relevant category, some of them even league-highs, and an All-Pro and Pro Bowl, he was the consensus top pick with a fantasy football-wide average of 1.2.
Unfortunately, the team plummeted in 2022. New quarterbacks Matt Ryan and Nick Foles struggled mightily, even having to compete with unremarkable sophomore Sam Ehlinger. But Taylor bore the biggest blame, failing to hit 1,000 rushing yards and double-digit rushing touchdowns for the first time in his career as injuries overwhelmed him.
