Jonathan Taylor Week 3 Outlook - Bears at Colts

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Sep 18th 2024, 5:52pm EDT

Jonathan Taylor is tied for the NFL lead with four breakaway runs despite breaking just three tackles on 28 carries. The Indianapolis Colts have one of the best offensive lines in the league, which has helped Taylor to a 5.39 yards per carry average so far. With quarterback Anthony Richardson completing just 49.1-percent of his passes through two weeks and the Chicago Bears allowing just 5.69 yards per pass attempt, we may see the Colts lean more on Taylor this week. Chicago ranks in the middle of the pack defensively against running backs to this point in the young season. Jonathan Taylor profiles as a volume-based RB1 in this game.
