• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Throws away would-be TD

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor rushed 22 times for 107 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos. He also lost a fumble. Taylor broke free for what should have been a 41-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but he celebrated early and dropped the ball before crossing the goal line, resulting instead in a fumble that rolled out of the end zone for a touchback. That mistake was the turning point, as the Broncos responded with 24 unanswered points to drop the Colts to 6-8. It also kept Taylor stuck at five rushing touchdowns, the most recent of which came in Week 8. On the bright side, he managed to exceed 100 rushing yards for the fifth time in 11 appearances this season. The workhorse running back should maintain a heavy workload in Week 16 against the 3-11 Titans.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Midseason lull continues

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Taylor rushed 11 times for 35 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. Taylor was inefficient with his carries for the second consecutive game and has now averaged under four yards per carry in three of his last four contests. Quarterback Anthony Richardson pitched a dud Sunday, resulting in a poor game script for Indianapolis' star running back. Taylor remains the workhorse in the Colts' backfield, but the offense needs to show more balance against the Patriots next Sunday in order to unleash their top talent on the roster.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Over 100 total yards in loss

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Taylor rushed 21 times for 114 yards and secured two of four targets for eight yards in the Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday. Taylor was the only Colts running back to log a carry and helped his final total significantly with a 58-yard run in the latter portion of the first quarter. Taylor exceeded 100 yards on the ground for the second time in the last three games and fourth time overall on the season, and he now has multiple receptions in three of the past four contests as well. Taylor should remain very busy in a Week 11 road matchup against an inconsistent Jets run defense.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Contrarian DFS Play

  10/29/2024 • By Heath Cummings

  Taylor will be low-rostered because his team is an underdog, and the Vikings have been very good against running backs this season. I am just not sure those things matter for Taylor. He's averaging 108 yards per game, and he still hasn't had what I would call a true plus matchup. Taylor is more desirable in leagues that score half a point per reception, at least as long as Anthony Richardson is starting.

• Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Over 100 yards in return

  10/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Taylor (ankle) rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Taylor looked no worse for wear after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, with the star running back ripping off several solid gains on his way to his third 100-yard effort of the season. Taylor also found the end zone for the fifth time on the campaign via a one-yard run shortly before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and he now has at least 88 rushing yards in four consecutive contests. Taylor will draw another tough-on-paper matchup when the Colts travel to face the Vikings next Sunday night.
