Jonathan Taylor Week 9 Outlook - Colts at Vikings

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 12:23am EDT

Jonathan Taylor returned from a three-week absence last week and stepped right back into the bell-cow role in the Colts' rushing attack. Taylor carried the ball 20 times for 105 yards against a good Houston Texans run defense. That type of volume will always keep Taylor in the RB1 conversation, but Taylor gets another tough matchup this week against Minnesota. The switch to Joe Flacco at quarterback should force the Vikings to respect the Colts' pass game, which could open up some running lanes for Taylor. Jonathan Taylor profiles as a low-end RB1 in this matchup.
