4 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had one of his best performances of the season last week against the Packers, rushing 22 times for 90 yards. However, Taylor is a victim of the Colts "hot hand" approach in the backfield. Taylor was very good against the Packers last week, and the Colts continued to go with him because he was running the ball effectively. That could change this week if he struggles early, and the Colts feel forced to go to Nyheim Hines or Jordan Wilkins. Hopefully Taylor can run the ball well against a Titans Defense that is allowing 4.4 yards per carry on the season. He definitely has RB2 value if he can build on what he did last week, but he is a risky play if he does not assert himself early.--Connor Wege
