IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Tennessee Titans

Jonathan Taylor notched his 5th 100-yard rushing game and 7th game with 100+ total yards last week against the Broncos. Of course, his day is remembered as the latest player to drop the football just before crossing the goal line. He'll look to erase that botch this week against the Titans, a team that has allowed 16 rushing touchdowns this season. Taylor didn't play in the first meeting but the Colts did get 90 total rushing yards between Trey Sermon (29) and Tyler Goodson (51) in Week 6. That should bode well for Taylor, who is a borderline RB1 this week.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Denver Broncos

Jonathan Taylor nearly notched his 5th 100-yard passing game of the season but did tally his 6th game with 100 total yards two weeks ago. Coming off the bye, Taylor should be ready for the homestrech and the fantasy playoffs. That starts against the Broncos who, despite having an overall strong offense, rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to running backs -- that number is boosted by allowing five receiving touchdowns to running backs and Taylor scored his first receiving touchdown in Week 13. The Colts need Taylor in what almost amounts to a playoff game this week in Denver.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New England Patriots

Jonathan Taylor didn't have much of a chance last week against the Lions. He posted a season-low 35 yards on 11 carries. That's three games out of four with less than four yards per carry. Taylor also hasn't scored a touchdown in four straight weeks. But the feeling is that stretch comes to an end this week. New England is among the bottom five in fantasy points allowed to running backs and have surrendered ten rushing touchdowns to backs. Taylor is a strong option this week.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Detroit Lions

It's been up and down for Jonathan Taylor since returning from injury. His rushing totals in the last four weeks: 105, 48, 114, 57. If the pattern continues, he should break the century mark again this week. However, that is a tough ask this week as the Lions are allowing the 5th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs (16.3). Taylor is still a solid fantasy option, but he may not end up among the top finishers this week.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New York Jets

Jonathan Taylor ran for over 100 yards for the fourth time this season after his season-high 114 against the Bills last week. The Colts are going back to Anthony Richardson at quarterback, so that could mean continuing to keep the ball on the ground. Who would have thought the Jets would be a favorable matchup against the run? But here we are, the Jets are allowing the 8th-most rushing yards per game (134.0). Keep riding the hot hand and talent of Taylor.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Jonathan Taylor's 48 yards last week were his lowest since Week 1. But that's more a credit to the defense of the Vikings. He'll have a chance to get back on track this week against the Bills, one of the more favorable matchups for running backs based on our rankings (29th-toughest). Taylor only had 13 carries last week, but should get back near 20 carries this week. Taylor remains an easy RB1.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Minnesota Vikings

Jonathan Taylor returned from injury last week and didn't take long getting right back on track, posting his third 100-yard rushing day last week against the Texans. He does face a tough matchup this week against the league's fourth-best rushing defense in Minnesota on Sunday night. But with how much talent and volume Taylor possesses, he's an easy start every week going forward. Lock him into your lineups.
