Colts RB snaps from Sunday:

Jonathan Taylor 34-of-61
Nyheim Hines 22
Jordan Wilkins 6

Taylor now has now out-touched Hines 64-29 in last three games together, meaning Taylor is the clear RB1 for the Colts right now. The Colts get the Texans and then the Steelers over the next two fantasy playoff weeks.

The Colts activated Jonathan Taylor from the Reserve/COVID list and he is expected to practice Wednesday.

Taylor never tested positive for the virus but was deemed a high-risk close contact with someone who did so he had to sit out last week as part of the league's protocol. Taylor being activated today means he is on track to play Week 13. Taylor returns to a soft matchup against the porous Houston run defense.

The Falcons have placed second-year wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus on injured reserve after he left Sunday’s game against the Raiders with a toe injury, the team announced Tuesday afternoon.

Zaccheaus joined Atlanta as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia in 2019. He’s caught 20 passes for 274 yards with one touchdown in 2020.

As a corresponding move, the Falcons have activated Treadwell off the COVID list and signed him to their 53-man roster, the story said. Treadwell previously was on Atlanta’s practice squad after signing with the club as a free agent during the offseason.

The Indianapolis Colts placed RB Jonathan Taylor on their COVID list Saturday, meaning he will not play Sunday against the Titans.

Taylor’s absence means more work for Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. Hines is more of the passing-down back already in Indianapolis and has jumped up to No. 14 in our half-PPR rankings. Wilkins still has value as an early-down back and is now inside our top 30 backs, making him a worthy flex option in a huge AFC South battle with the Titans for first place.
