Taylor rumored available for trade as Colts sell off assets.
The Colts running back is rumored to be available for trade as the team sells off parts ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. If Taylor is dealt, rookie Seth McGowan would become the Colts' No. 1 running back.
Colts reportedly in trade talks involving star RB Taylor amid rebuild.
After the Colts fired their general manager and traded two key players in the past two weeks, the team is reportedly in talks over trading star running back Jonathan Taylor as they look set for a rebuild.
Taylor may not remain with Colts as franchise faces potential teardown.
Taylor acknowledged that teams could be 'foaming at the mouth' to face the depleted Colts, and the source notes he might not be long for the roster as Indianapolis faces a full-scale teardown following a 42-7 loss to Jacksonville and the departures of Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, and Josh Downs.
Taylor trade buzz for Vikings, but can't fix their passing game woes.
Taylor has been seen as a popular landing spot for the Vikings, but the source notes there's only so much even a top-tier ball carrier could do to repair things for an offense that so routinely misfires in the passing game; this suggests Taylor alone cannot fix Minnesota's offensive issues.
Taylor's snap share hits season high at 79.2%, confirming lead-back role.
Jonathan Taylor handled 79.2% of pre-garbage snaps in the Colts' blowout loss, his highest snap share since Week 3, indicating sustained workhorse usage despite trade rumors swirling around the team.

Broncos reported as having heavy trade interest and viewing JT as their '1A plan' per Zac Stevens (DNVR).
Broncos reported as having heavy trade interest and viewing JT as their '1A plan' per Zac Stevens (DNVR). Community split: some see him as proven workhorse upgrade for contending team on rookie QB deal; others worry Sean Payton won't use him as true bellcow and will create committee hell. Concerns about trade cost (Colts want significant assets), JT's expensive contract ($22M/year, 2-year deal), and whether RB is Denver's actual need. Multiple comments note Colts have been trading to NFC teams only, suggesting AFC trade unlikely. If acquired, likely 75% snap share with Coleman at 25% per some analysis.

Taylor could be traded; would eliminate run-game respect around Warren.
Taylor could potentially be traded by the Colts, which would further diminish Tyler Warren's fantasy outlook as defenses would no longer need to honor the run game.
Taylor trade would eliminate run-game threat; hurts Warren's floor.
If Jonathan Taylor gets traded, defenses won't even bother honoring the run game, further reducing fantasy production opportunities for pass-catchers like Tyler Warren who were connected to the run game under Shane Steichen.
Taylor could be trade target for Vikings seeking offensive help
The source notes that Minnesota rookie GM Nolan Teasley might make a run at Taylor ahead of the trade deadline (Nov. 10) as the Vikings seek to bolster their 29th-ranked offense and address their struggling run game.
Broncos pursuing Taylor trade to anchor struggling run game.
The source reports that the Broncos are doing everything in their power to trade for Jonathan Taylor, with insider Zac Stevens stating the deal could happen at any moment. If acquired, Taylor would become the Broncos' lead back in a run game that has struggled in recent years, pairing with rookie Jonah Coleman as a 1B option to significantly boost Denver's offensive production and ease pressure on quarterback Bo Nix.
Broncos pursuing trade for Taylor; could boost struggling run game.
The Broncos are actively pursuing a trade for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor, with insider Zac Stevens reporting the team is doing everything in their power to complete the deal. Stevens stated the trade could happen at any moment, and the Broncos want Taylor now to add one of the best backs in the NFL to their offense. If acquired, Taylor would give the Broncos one of the better run games in the NFL and boost an offense that has struggled in recent years.
Career-low 6.7 points; weak roster and QB play make RB1 status difficult to trust.
Taylor's 6.7 fantasy points represented his fewest in any of his prior 28 non-Week 18 games. The source notes his fantasy managers are rooting for a trade ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, as the team's weak supporting cast hampered his production significantly. Rumors that Taylor might move continue to swirl, but if he's stuck in Indianapolis, Daniel Jones' struggles and the trades past and upcoming that will deplete the roster will make it tough to trust Taylor as a true fantasy RB1. He would face a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 if he stays put.
Taylor rushed for 23 yards; Colts opened auditions at RB.
Taylor managed only 23 rushing yards in Week 8 at Jacksonville, a significant bust for those counting on him. He played 38 of 61 offensive snaps as the Colts were never competitive and eventually opened auditions for their next starting back.
Taylor on trading block after season-low 23 rushing yards vs. Jaguars
The seventh-year tailback is listed on the trading block after rushing for a season-low 23 yards on eight carries in the Colts' 42-7 loss to Jacksonville. Taylor opened the game with an explosive 19-yard run but was largely ineffective thereafter, with the source noting that McGowan finished with more rushing yards (29 on five carries) than Taylor in the same game.

Taylor's role in Colts' tank mode makes him a liability; trade or deactivation likely.
The source suggests the Colts probably should have deactivated Taylor on Sunday given the team's 42-7 blowout loss to Jacksonville and the franchise's apparent tank mode following trades of Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner; Taylor faces a depressing finish with a team that might win only one or two games the rest of the season unless he is traded before the deadline.
Taylor should have been deactivated in Week 8, limited role in struggling Colts.
The source suggests the Colts probably should have deactivated Taylor in Week 8, indicating there wasn't much point in playing him. The Colts are in for a rough finish to the season.
Taylor barely used with 8 carries, 4 catches; trade speculation.
Running back Jonathan Taylor suited up for the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars but was barely used with eight carries and four catches, making little argument for his presence helping the team compete; whether the Colts will trade him is an open question heading into Week 9.

Taylor subject to trade rumors amid Colts fire-sale phase.
Trade rumors have swirled around the longtime Colts running back as the team enters a fire-sale phase following the departures of franchise cornerstones Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner.
Taylor active for Colts despite trade speculation; plays through Sunday.
Jonathan Taylor is active for the Colts in their Week 7 divisional matchup against Jacksonville despite ongoing trade talks; the Colts are taking the opposite approach of Arizona (which held Marvin Harrison Jr. out before trading him) and will play Taylor, meaning any potential trade will require him to come through Sunday's game unscathed.
Giants pursuing Taylor, but fans skeptical of RB investment despite Harbaugh's bellcow preference.
The Giants are believed to be one of the teams pursuing star running back Jonathan Taylor; however, fewer than 1 in 10 Giants fans surveyed want the team to go after a running back, running at odds with John Harbaugh's desire to add a star 'bellcow' to his backfield. The source notes that sinking significant resources into the running back position has been a chancy proposition historically, with highly drafted running backs seldom proving 'worth it' to the teams that draft them. The counter-argument is that a back like Taylor who can maximize runs, create on the margins, and turn good runs into explosive runs could have a greater than expected impact on the Giants' offense, similar to Christian McCaffrey and Kenneth Walker III on the 49ers and Chiefs respectively.
Giants pursuing star RB Taylor; fans skeptical despite Harbaugh's bellcow preference.
Star running back being pursued by Giants on the trade market as part of their aggressive approach to the 2026 trade deadline. The Giants hope that acquiring Taylor (or a player like him) would have a similar impact on their offense as Christian McCaffrey and Kenneth Walker III have had on the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively. However, fewer than 1 in 10 Giants fans support trading for a running back, running counter to John Harbaugh's desire to add a star bellcow to his backfield.
Taylor averaging 4.2 YPC with 8 TDs through 7 games; Colts 2-5.
Through seven games this season, Taylor has recorded 140 rushes for 587 yards (4.2 yards per carry average) and eight touchdowns. The Colts are 2-5 entering their game against the 4-2 Jacksonville Jaguars.
Colts actively shopping Jonathan Taylor; McCaffrey-level package required.
The Indianapolis Colts are open to trading franchise running back Jonathan Taylor with active discussions underway and a huge package (similar to the Christian McCaffrey trade: second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks) reported as the price tag. The Giants are among several teams with interest. Taylor is expected to play in the upcoming game and the situation will be readdressed early in the week.
Jonathan Taylor trade 'more likely than not' per Schultz; five teams inquiring.
The Indianapolis Colts are 'more likely than not' to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, and Green Bay Packers are among teams that have inquired about Taylor. The asking price is believed to be too high currently, but sources believe a trade is leaning toward happening. The Colts are using the Carolina Panthers' 2022 Christian McCaffrey trade to San Francisco (2023 second-, third-, and fourth-round picks, and a 2024 fifth-round selection) as a model for the asking price.
