Jordan Wilkins Nearly Doubles Jonathan Taylor's Carries
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins had 20 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also added a 24-yard reception. This usage was a major surprise as Jonathan Taylor was expected to serve as the team's lead back, but Taylor received just 11 carries, turning them into 22 yards. He added two catches for nine yards. Again, strange usage in this game and while we might want to caution against expecting this much work from Wilkins going forward, there is some clear reason to be concerned about Taylor.
