Ranked 7th/10th overall; RB1 on RB2 usage but Colts favored only 6 games; game script risk.
Ranked 7th overall (later revised to 10th). RB3 overall usage over past three seasons under Shane Steichen with low-end RB1 to elite RB1 ceiling. First 13 weeks with healthy Daniel Jones: RB1 overall on RB2 usage in half PPR. Averaged over 30 half PPR points in Colts' 8 wins (first 10 games); led league with 6 yards per carry and 47–48% success rate in opening 10 games before Jones injury. Owned 84% of Colts backfield touches last season; only backfield addition is 7th-round rookie (26 years old). Entire focal point of offense with limited receiving competition (Alec Pierce injured, Josh Downs uncertain, Michael Pittman Jr. gone). Strong offensive line and faith in Shane Steichen. Concern: less involved in negative game script versus other top backs; Colts favored for only 6 games heading into season. When the Colts are in negative game script, Taylor is not as involved as other top backs across the league. With the Colts favored for only six wins heading into the season, Taylor's season might be viewed as a disappointment despite strong per-game efficiency; he may have the biggest difference between wins and losses in terms of fantasy score gap.
