Fantasy Football Player Notes

Taylor is a machine. We all saw on Sunday Night Football that running backs can still carry an NFL offence. In what was a tough overtime loss, Taylor kept the Colts alive with hard-nosed running and a knack for the end zone. Even against a Chiefs team that prides itself on limiting explosive plays, Taylor managed to scamper for a 24-yard-score. In the end, he finished with 24 carries for 92 yards and two scores. That's back-to-back games of 90-plus yards and two scores on the ground. Unfortunately, that streak may end this week as they take on a tough Texans defense. Despite playing two elite offenses in the Bills and Bengals, the Texans have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. It's a small sample size, and Taylor is a different beast, but you can be sure DeMeco Ryans will be emphasizing stopping the run. Taylor remains a top-tier RB1, but it would be wise to temper expectations this week.
