Still the RB9 in PPR points per game this season, but the Colts have gone from bad (24th in EPA per play in Weeks 1-4) to BAD (31st in Weeks 5-8). We are talking about the Cowboys here! One of the worst defenses by just about any metric — including a bottom-four mark in fantasy points per game allowed to the position. Ultimately, Taylor still handled eight of the backfield's 11 touches in the first half and 12 of 16 through three quarters of last week's disaster against the Jaguars — things are a bit dicey here, but I still can't fathom benching JT in this home spot.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Taylor's elite touch share and favorable matchup outweigh Colts' offensive decline.

Ranked RB10 for Week 9 at home against Dallas. Still RB9 in PPR points per game this season. Concern: Colts have deteriorated from 24th in EPA per play (Weeks 1-4) to 31st (Weeks 5-8). However, Cowboys are one of the worst defenses by most metrics with bottom-four fantasy points per game allowed to RBs. Taylor handled 8 of 11 backfield touches in the first half and 12 of 16 through three quarters last week against Jacksonville; things are dicey but still can't fathom benching JT in this home spot.
