Jonathan Taylor (@JAC) makes the list for the second straight week. Poor guy – he goes from playing the No. 1 fantasy defense vs. RBs (Minnesota) to the No. 2 unit. That's no fun. Oh, and did I mention that All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson is now a Seahawk? The Jaguars are allowing just over 50 yards per game to opposing RBs, which is by far the best mark in the NFL, and they've only yielded three TDs to the position.

Taylor faces Jacksonville's elite run defense for second straight week.

Jonathan Taylor faces Jacksonville for the second straight week in a truly terrible spot. The Jaguars are the No. 2 fantasy defense vs. RBs and are allowing just over 50 yards per game to opposing RBs—by far the best mark in the NFL—while yielding only three TDs to the position. The source notes this is especially difficult given Taylor's previous matchup against Minnesota (No. 1 fantasy defense vs. RBs), and adds that All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson is now a Seahawk, further complicating the situation.
