Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jonathan Taylor
From the article
Taylor's 4.7 fantasy points were a season low (and nearly half his next lowest) and a concerning sign that he and this offense might be trending the wrong direction if he does stay in Indy. All-World guard Quenton Nelson was already shipped off and Josh Downs has requested a trade as well, so it's hard to imagine the Colts getting any better any time soon.
STACKED’s take
Taylor's season-low 4.7 points signal concerning downward trend amid Colts dysfunction.
Jonathan Taylor scored 4.7 fantasy points in Week 8 on eight carries and four catches for 24 yards—a season low and nearly half his next lowest output. The source flags this as a concerning sign that Taylor and the Colts offense are trending downward; the team has lost All-World guard Quenton Nelson to trade and Josh Downs has requested a trade, making offensive improvement unlikely. If Taylor is traded, the source notes there's no guarantee the move is positive given his heavy volume in Indianapolis all year. Among realistic landing spots, Minnesota could be a win, but most other teams present backfield competition (Seattle with Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, Cincinnati with a less dedicated run game) or reduced opportunity. The source characterizes this as a poor trajectory for the stalwart RB1.
