Video: Thinking About Week 9 NFL DFS
I believe them. Yeah, I think that the Colts are completely content to not trade away Jonathan Taylor if that's how it goes. I still think he's ultimately going to get traded... I do expect him to get traded, but yeah, I I expect him to play... he's going to have no ownership and he's one of the best running backs in the NFL playing against terrible defense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Jonathan Taylor expected to play; low ownership at $7,500 vs. weak Dallas.

Jonathan Taylor is expected to play despite ongoing trade speculation. Davis Mattek believes Taylor will ultimately be traded but expects him to play in the Cowboys–Colts game because the Colts need to maintain leverage in trade negotiations; holding him out would signal they're willing to trade him and undermine their negotiating position. Taylor is positioned as a low-ownership DFS play at $7,500 against a terrible Dallas defense; he's one of the best running backs in the NFL. A 70–30 workload split with Seth McGawan is expected regardless of trade status.
