Expert
Derek Brown FantasyPros	Taylor posted another RB1 season (RB7 in fantasy points per game) while dealing with a high ankle sprain. He racked up 321 touches and 1,567 total yards with 12 scores. While I think Taylor should post another top 12 season in 2025, I do have some concerns. The quarterback play for Indy is a worry with how often they could be in the red zone this year, as well as his lack of pass-game involvement. Last year, Taylor ranked sixth in red zone touches. I don't know if he comes close to that number this season, but I could easily be wrong. I don't see more check-down opportunities for Taylor this season with Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson under center. It's not like he's demanding those looks either, with his per-route performance in 2024, anyway. Last year, among 45 qualifying backs, Taylor ranked 37th in target share (7.4%) and 43rd in yards per route run and first downs per route run. Taylor is a solid pick again this year, but I struggle to see a ceiling outcome for him in 2025.	Harris was brought in on a one-year deal this offseason. Los Angeles then proceeded to add to their backfield with the selection of Omarion Hampton in the first round of the NFL Draft. Hampton could take over this backfield in short order, but it's also possible that Harris will end up forcing a frustrating committee that crushes the hope of Hampton stans. At this point, we know who Harris is. A volume back and jack of all trades but master of none. He's a solid but unspectacular player. Last year, he ranked 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt, 27th in yards after contact per attempt, and 20th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Harris is a decent flex play for 2025, but the bottom could fall out quickly for his value if Hampton assumes control of the backfield workload at the beginning of the season.
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Jonathan Taylor missed time with injuries and inconsistent quarterback play put fantasy football managers in a tough spot out of the gates. But he was still RB5 in points per game, and he ended the year on an extremely high note, scoring the fourth-most points among all non-QBs despite a bye week in Week 14. When healthy, Taylor is still a top 5 fantasy RB and the engine of the Colts offense. He ended the season with 29-plus carries and 125-plus rushing yards in three straight games. I think he will be a value in 2025 drafts at 26 years old.
