Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor scored 17 total touchdowns and averaged 6.0 yards per carry over the first 10 games of 2025, and he scored three total touchdowns and averaged 3.3 yards per carry over his final seven contests.
Huddle Up: The injury to Daniel Jones late in the year certainly impacted Taylor's production, but he isn't exactly young by running back standards, and he will be coming off a season where he handled 369 total touches. Throw in uncertainty about the Indianapolis quarterback situation in 2026, and Taylor could look a lot more like the volume-based fantasy producer that he was over the final weeks than the high-upside, explosive option that he was for the first 10 games.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor recorded a league-leading 787 rushing yards after contact this season.
Huddle Up: Taylor picked his fourth 1,000-yard season of his career this season and also led the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns. He will continue to be a significant part of the offense next season and should be one of the first running backs selected in drafts.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran for 26 yards on 14 carries in a Week 18 loss to the Houston Texans. He had two catches for 13 yards.
Huddle Up: Taylor was arguably the MVP of Fantasy through Week 10 (1,139 rush yards, 17 TDs) before being limited to 446 yards and three touchdowns the last seven games - mostly without QB Daniel Jones. Taylor will turn 27 in two weeks but there's no reason to believe he's not a definite RB1 in 2026. However, it would be nice if Jones, a free agent, returns.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 21 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he racked up three receptions for 14 yards on six targets.
Huddle Up: Taylor let fantasy managers down a bit in what was likely the semifinals week of most leagues, going for just 2.9 yards per carry, 46 rushing yards and a TD in Week 16. He was a little better in this one, but he has averaged just 3.5 yards per game in the past four outings.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 46 yards and a touchdown versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. Taylor also caught three passes for 33 yards.
Huddle Up: With most running backs, getting 79 yards and a tuddie would be a decent return on investment. With someone like Taylor, however, it's a disappointment. The former Badger was having a monster season, but the injury to Daniel Jones (Achilles) has had a trickledown effect on the running game as he's averaged 3.5, 3.5, and 2.9 yards per carry in the last three games, respectively. He's still doing enough to remain in your lineup, though, so you'll just have to plug him in and hope he breaks an explosive run or two versus Jacksonville.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 87 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, while adding three receptions for 14 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Taylor totaled more than 100 scrimmage yards, so players in leagues rewarding that milestone. Still, it was just a marginal performance by his standards, and he has been held out of the end zone three times in the past four games. It's not what fantasy managers want to see, but with the quarterback situation a bit of a muddy puddle, teams are going to stack the box to stop the best player on the offense.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran 21 times for 74 yards with a touchdown in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Huddle Up: Taylor has 217 yards and one touchdown over his last three games since his 244-yard performance and three scores against Atlanta. He'll be counted on even more with Daniel Jones done for the season, but he'll also receive more attention from opposing defenses. Either way, he's still an RB1 in all formats.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL with 33 rushes of 10-plus yards, and he is also averaging a league-leading 3.0 yards per rush after first contact.
Huddle Up: Taylor leads the NFL in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, and his 5.7 yards per rush trail only Jahmyr Gibbs. He has been carrying the Indianapolis offense for most of the season, and with Daniel Jones playing on a broken leg, Taylor should continue to see all the touches he can handle.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor carries 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of five targets for 36 more in a Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.
Huddle Up: Taylor entered leading the NFL in rushing yards and rush touchdowns but was held out of the end zone for the second straight game playing against a stinchy Houston defense. Still, Taylor is a must-play every week in all formats.
Posted: 11/23/2025 9:35 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed for 58 yards on 16 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He also caught two passes for eight yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Taylor was coming off an outstanding Week 11 performance but was not able to find a lot of running room this week against the Chiefs. He is still one of the most productive running backs in the NFL and is a must-start options in all leagues when healthy.
