Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Taylor's 11.8 expected half PPR points last week (RB24) were his fewest since Week 9 of last year...Now he'll be without the best guard in the NFL after the Colts traded away Quenton Nelson...Jacksonville ranks 31st against fantasy RBs, giving up just 14.6 half PPR points per game overall and an NFL-low 8.2 points per game on the ground (32nd).
STACKED’s take
Taylor's production declining; Colts lose Nelson, face elite run defense in Jacksonville.
Taylor's 11.8 expected half PPR points last week (RB24) were his fewest since Week 9 of last year, driven by more Seth McGowan usage than normal, a bad offense, and a bad matchup; he finished with 18.0 half PPR points on 18 carries but margins are thinning. He's the RB9 on RB6 usage this month without Alec Pierce clearing space. The Colts traded away Quenton Nelson (best guard in the NFL), dropping their run-blocking grade from fourth in PFF to likely worse. Jacksonville ranks 31st against fantasy RBs (14.6 half PPR points per game) with an NFL-low 8.2 points per game on the ground (32nd), and offenses face them at the lowest run rate (38%) in neutral situations. The Colts' 19.5-point team total (23rd) is less than ideal.
