Taylor has been great so far this season he is avg. 98 yds. a game and his schedule is full of cupcakes, the packers(twice), lions, cards, jets, and Niners are still on tap. But my question is will he play like this all season or is he going to hit a wall soon?

Here's the funny thing. I am suprised that people think this is the time to sell high on Taylor. From the beginning of the season, it was obvious that his beginning of the season was going to be rough , and then it would get to be a cake walk after the mid point (besides the Bears).
I think his performance value will only go up as the year goes on. The one problem that I see with him is that he plays for Minnesota, who hasnt had a nationally televised game yet. He has been flying compeletely under the radar for anyone who hasnt been intentionally paying attention to him, so his trade value isnt as high as it should be, although I believe they are on MNF this week, so hopefully he'll have a huge game.
Regardless, Minnesota has a really good line, and are as committed to the run as any other team in the NFL. Chester has no competition for goal line carries or anything else, and I think by the end of the season he probably finishes in the top 6 or 7 or all RBs.

I think that he will continue to put up these numbers through the year. Not unless he gets hurt or the offense line gets sorry. Talyor had a big game against the Seahawks which are a good run stopping team. He will put more numbers against Arizona, 49ers, Lions, and the Packers. I said that in the end of the season he should have about 1,100 yards or more.

Vikings are committed to the run, so he'll definitely get the touches. Taylor ran well last week against a Seahawks defense that was ranked 6th against the rush. 26 carries, 169 yds, 1 TD, 4 rec, 19 yds. That's a pretty good stat line.

He'd better keep it up. He was my sleeper pick in the draft, and my only hope of winning, since my 1st round pick was a friggin bust. (Anybody want to trade a hamburger for a Cadillac?)
I would keep my eyes peeled to Minnesota's offesive line, especially Steve Hutchinson. The o-line will be the key to Chester's continued success. If they remain healthy, I believe Chester will only continue to have better numbers. especially at the end of the season, FFL playoff time, when the Vikings face some weak run defenses.

He has too play well.
His backup is an injury prone 3rd down RB. Moore can spell him on 3rd and passing downs.
Plus Chester's body has not been hit as much in his career as Tiki or Jamal Lewis. He has at least 3 more good years to go. Kinda like Stephen Davis at 27

As long as Minnesota stays in most of their games he should continue to produce. I'm a ravens fan and have watched him over the last 4 years and wish we would have kept him instead of Jamal. He's a good young back and I would expect big things from him in the future, after all we let Priest Holmes leave as well.
