Fantasy Football Player Notes

Heading into week three with Wentz banged up, I figured that the Colts would lean on their run game heavily and Jonathan Taylor would be in line for a massive performance. However, Taylor saw only 11 total touches and disappointed fantasy managers yet again. Now through three weeks, Taylor is only averaging 14 carries, 57 rushing yards, and zero touchdowns. Additionally, since seeing six receptions in week one, Taylor has only reeled in two over the past two games combined. We need to be very concerned with Taylor from a fantasy perspective and he now gets a matchup against the Miami Dolphins defense that's only allowing 18.3 fantasy points per game to opposing RBs. Taylor will need to find the end zone to crack the top-12 RBs this week.

Nyheim Hines was one of the sole bright spots on offense for the Colts in week three. With the news that Marlon Mack has requested a trade, Hines' fantasy managers should certainly have more confidence in him returning weekly value. He comes with a very safe floor each week due to his involvement in the receiving game, but he'll need a touchdown to push his way into the top-24 at the position. He can be viewed as a high-end RB3 that gets a slight bump up in Full PPR formats.
