Taylor's 1,225.5 rushing yards line is well-priced; workload and durability concerns limit upside.
Taylor's over 1,225.5 rushing yards line is well-priced despite his 1,500+ yard season last year. The Colts have signaled intent to lighten his workload early in the season and against weaker opponents to keep him fresh for bigger games. Durability is a concern—last season was only the second time in his career he played all 17 games, so the line already accounts for some missed time or reduced usage. If Taylor plays 17 games and remains the clear lead back, he can exceed the number; if he misses even one or two games or the Colts reduce touches, the path becomes much tighter. Michael Pittman JR leans slightly under because the number assumes too much has to go right from a workload and health standpoint, with insufficient value either way.
