Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Scores early TD in loss
Jonathan Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He also lost a fumble.Taylor got off to a strong start, racking up 15 yards and a touchdown on four carries on the Indianapolis Colts' second drive. However, things went downhill from there, as Daniel Jones (Achilles) exited the game, allowing the Jaguars' defense to focus their entire attention on Taylor, and Taylor also lost a fumble early in the second quarter that led directly to a Jaguars' score. His efficiency had already suffered of late, and the state of the Colts' offense is a concern moving forward. Both factors dampen Taylor's fantasy outlook for the rest of the season, though his volume and ability to hit for long runs will still give him the chance to be a strong fantasy performer.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Bounces back via MVP-caliber effort
Jonathan Taylor rushed 32 times for 244 yards and three touchdowns while bringing in all three targets for 42 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 31-25 overtime win against the Falcons on Sunday in Berlin.The highlights of yet another memorable day for Taylor were his final two touchdowns, which consisted of an 83-yard run with just over six minutes remaining in regulation and the game-winning eight-yard scamper up the middle in overtime. Taylor's yardage total fell just short of the career-high 253 he gained against the Jaguars as a rookie back in January 2021, and it served as his third tally of more than 150 yards already this season. Taylor also now has four three-touchdown performances in his MVP-caliber 2025 campaign, and he'll have a Week 11 bye to take a breath before returning to action in a Week 12 road showdown against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Slowed in Pittsburgh
Jonathan Taylor rushed14 times for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.Taylor has been unstoppable most of the season, but he was underwhelming in Sunday's loss. He was limited to only 3.2 yards per carry with a long gain of nine, though the Indianapolis Colts were also forced to take to the air as they faced a two-score deficit for nearly the entire second half. That limited Taylor's volume and led to his lowest yardage output of the season. This was also the first time he didn't find the end zone since Week 4.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Can't stop scoring in threes
Jonathan Taylor ripped off 153 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries and caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a third score in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Titans.Taylor continues to score in threes, producing his fourth three-touchdown game in eight starts this season. It was the 26-year-old's second consecutive contest scoring thrice and the second time he has accomplished the feat against Tennessee this year. In addition to his monstrous rushing totals (143-850-13), Taylor has made strides as a receiver in 2025. The Wisconsin grad has 25 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns the midpoint of the schedule nears, a rate that would eclipse the 40-360-2 receiving line he posted during his breakout campaign back in 2021. Taylor will ride a wave of momentum into next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers' 19th-ranked rush defense.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Three more TDs in big win
Jonathan Taylor rushed 17 times for 66 yards and three touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 40-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.Taylor encountered plenty of resistance from the Raiders defense on many of his runs, but he found enough running room to record scoring rushes of three, one and six yards, as well as a game-long 16-yard scamper. It was Taylor's second three-touchdown tally of the season, a two-game sample that accounts for all his end-zone trips to date. The sixth-year pro remains the component around which the Colts' prolific offense revolves, and Taylor should be very busy once again in a Week 6 home interconference clash with the Cardinals next Sunday.
