Jonathan Taylor Fantasy Football Outlook (2023)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 1st 2023, 10:35am EDT

Jonathan Taylor is going to miss the first four weeks of the season on the PUP list, after the Colts failed to find a trade partner prior to 4 PM ET on Tuesday 8-29-2023. The disgruntled running back is still recovering from offseason ankle surgery but will undoubtedly be in a no rush to return to the franchise that had been reluctant to give him a long-term deal. Even after the first four weeks are up, there's no guarantee JT is even ready to go by October. It's a very tricky situation that could still very well put Taylor on a new team if the trade demands change in the Colts' building after games are played. For those drafting now, he's an extremely risk pick in the early rounds. I'd only feel "comfortable" taking a shot at him in Round 6.
