Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
he managed just 23 yards on eight carries (while DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan combined for 72 yards on 11 carries) and 24 yards on four catches. Taylor's 4.7 fantasy points were a season low (and nearly half his next lowest) and a concerning sign.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's 4.7-point game amid trade rumors signals downward trajectory.
Trade rumors had been churning around Taylor and a potential move from the Colts, angling his arrow downward. In Week 8 against a strong Jaguars run defense, he managed just 23 yards on eight carries and 24 yards on four catches for 4.7 fantasy points (a season low and nearly half his next lowest). Meanwhile, DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan combined for 72 yards on 11 carries. The source notes the Colts' trajectory is concerning with All-World guard Quenton Nelson already shipped off and Josh Downs requesting a trade. If Taylor is traded, there's no guarantee the move is positive, especially considering how heavy his volume had been in Indianapolis. Among realistic trade destinations, Minnesota might be a win, but most others come with backfield competition or a far less dedicated run game.
