You aren't benching Jonathan Taylor (@MIN), and I'm not recommending that. This is more of a public service announcement. Manage your expectations for him against that nasty purple defense. The Vikings have yielded the second fewest rushing yards and total TDs (2), the fewest receptions, and the fewest FPPG to opposing RBs, and historically speaking, Taylor's numbers go way down when the Colts are playing catch-up.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Taylor faces Vikings' second-best RB defense; expect limited upside.

Manage expectations against Minnesota's nasty defense. The Vikings have yielded the second fewest rushing yards and total TDs (2), the fewest receptions, and the fewest FPPG to opposing RBs. Historically, Taylor's numbers go way down when the Colts are playing catch-up. The Vikings are rested off a Bye and favored by a touchdown—it could be a very long day for Taylor and Indy.
