You have to hand it to the Steelers; shutting down Taylor for 45 yards on 15 carries is no small feat. Especially when he had a long run for 20 yards, he was held to 25 yards on 14 carries outside of that. Thankfully, he caught three of his four targets for an additional 37 yards, providing an okay fantasy day. That said, the Colts and Daniel Jones do not look good. Considering the Steelers were allowing the 11th most fantasy points to the RB position, the Steelers focused all their efforts on Taylor this week. As a result, unless this offense gets better, we may see more of these kinds of games in the future with the defenses selling out to stop JT. At the same time, he can always find the endzone and make big plays. Especially against the 0-5 Titans, Taylor should dominate on the ground. He is my RB3 behind Bijan Robinson and Kenneth Walker this week.

Jonathan Taylor runs for 94 yards in loss

Jonathan Taylor ran 21 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while also bringing in two of four targets for 57 yards in the Colts' 26-20 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Taylor has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a bad season so far for the Colts. He's been a touchdown machine this year and the primary option of the offense. Expect that to continue, and the fantasy points to roll in.
