Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is putting together a historic season so far in 2025. Through eight games, Taylor has rushed for 850 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding two receiving touchdowns for the Colts. The best player in fantasy over the first half of the season, Taylor has scored exactly three touchdowns in a game four times so far this season, with the most recent instance coming in a Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. He will look to keep it going in a road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. The Steelers have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to the running-back position through seven games. Despite the tougher matchup, Taylor remains a top-three fantasy running back in Week 9.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his dominant season with a monster showing in his team's 38-14 Week 8 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Taylor recorded 12 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches for 21 yards and a receiving score as well. The 26-year-old running back is arguably on an MVP pace so far this season. Through eight games, Taylor has recorded 850 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 143 carries as well as 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 25 catches. He's the engine of a dominant Colts offense that is currently averaging over 30 points per game. Indianapolis will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 9. As long as Taylor is healthy, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back every week.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been the best player in fantasy through the first seven weeks of the season. He continued his white-hot start to the year in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has rushed for 697 yards while scoring 11 all-purpose touchdowns on the year. He will look to keep it going at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The Titans have struggled against the run this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Taylor is in a smash spot and should be locked into all fantasy lineups as a top-three play at the running-back position.
Oct 25, 2025 9:13 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 38 receiving yards. Taylor turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in PPR leagues, shrinking the gap between him and this year's overall RB1, Christian McCaffrey. The 26-year-old has scored three touchdowns in three different games this season, totaling 10 scores over his last five contests. Taylor should continue to feast next week against a Titans defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered 88 yards and a touchdown to Rhamondre Stevenson. He's in the mix to be next week's overall RB1.
Oct 19, 2025 8:20 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned in yet another dominant performance in a Week 6 win as he rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. Taylor will look to stay red-hot as he gets ready to head on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. The Chargers have been decent against the run this season, allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, Taylor has been dominating the backfield work in Indy and already has eight all-purpose touchdowns to his name in 2025. He sets up as a top-five fantasy running back who should be locked into fantasy starting lineups for Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 8:14 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 123 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 14 receiving yards. Taylor has been one of the most productive running backs this season, scoring eight touchdowns over his last five games and ranking as the overall RB1 in standard and half-PPR scoring. (He is the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey in PPR leagues.) As long as Indianapolis continues to consistently operate from a neutral or positive game script, there will be plenty of opportunities for Taylor to produce. This is far from the last 20-carry, 100-yard game we'll see from the 26-year-old in 2025. He remains a high-end RB1 option heading into Week 7 against the Chargers.
Oct 12, 2025 8:51 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been one of the best players in fantasy through the first five weeks of the season. The veteran running back has accumulated 480 rushing yards while adding seven all-purpose touchdowns so far. He will look to stay hot in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have struggled against opposing running backs this season, allowing the 12th-most fantasy points per game to the position through five games. Taylor is dominating the work in Indy's backfield this season and should continue to see the majority of the touches in Week 6. He sets up as a top-three overall running back in fantasy this weekend.
Oct 11, 2025 8:50 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor rushed 17 times for 66 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also caught three of four targets for an additional 20 receiving yards. While Taylor merely had modest yardage efficiency, he made up for it with his nose for the end zone. Taylor has had two different three-touchdown games over the last three weeks, and he ranks as the overall RB2 in fantasy football this season. He is also the league's leading rusher and has seven touchdowns. He should be deployed as a high-end RB1 every week, including next week against the Arizona Cardinals.
Oct 5, 2025 5:21 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will look to continue a hot start to the season in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor has already rushed for 414 yards and added 113 receiving yards while notching four all-purpose touchdowns through four games to start the year. The veteran running back should continue to dominate the Indy backfield in a matchup against a Raiders defense that is allowing the 26th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. As one of the few true bell-cow backs in the league, treat Taylor as a top-three fantasy running back in Week 5 despite the difficult matchup.
Oct 4, 2025 10:55 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been one of the top fantasy players through the first three weeks of the season, rushing for 338 yards and three touchdowns while adding 93 receiving yards and another score through the air. Taylor will look to stay hot in Week 4 in a road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams represent a tough matchup for Taylor as they are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position through three weeks. That being said, Taylor remains one of the few true workhorses left in the league and can still be trusted as a top-six fantasy running back this weekend despite the difficult matchup.
Sep 27, 2025 8:30 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 17 times for 102 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 16 yards through the air. Taylor has been one of the NFL's most effective running backs this season, and now, he has turned in one of the most impressive single-game performances of the 2025 campaign. His efficiency, workload, and nose for the end zone make him a high-end RB1 option heading into Week 4 against the Rams.
Sep 21, 2025 4:47 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned in a huge outing in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Taylor rushed for 165 yards on 25 carries while adding two receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown in the close win. The veteran running back will now turn his attention to a Tennessee Titans defense that is allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs through two games. The Colts have given Taylor a monster workload thus far in 2025, as he has gotten 43 of the 55 carries that have gone to running backs. Taylor can be trusted as a top-10 fantasy running back heading into Week 3.
Sep 20, 2025 10:42 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had a monster game in his team's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old logged 25 carries for 165 yards and also caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Across the first two games of the season, Taylor has now recorded 313 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. The Colts' offense has been surprisingly effective so far overall, dropping 33 points on the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 and 29 on Denver in Week 2. Taylor is a must-start fantasy running back with high-end RB1 upside as long as he stays healthy and the Indianapolis offense remains competent.
Sep 14, 2025 9:09 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Taylor turned in a solid, if unspectacular, Week 1 performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins, rushing for 71 yards and catching three passes for 27 yards. He will look to find the end zone against a talented Denver defense that allowed just the 21st-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2024. The Broncos continued that trend in Week 1 as they shut down the running game of the Tennessee Titans, holding Tony Pollard to 3.3 yards per carry. Taylor should see plenty of volume, but the tough matchup downgrades him to more of a low-end RB1 in fantasy this weekend.
Sep 13, 2025 7:38 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Jonathan Taylor (neck) is "good" after he took an awkward hit to his neck area in Sunday's Week 1 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Steichen added that Taylor could have gone back into the game, but with the Colts up big in the second half, it wasn't worth it. The Colts also took the opportunity to get an extended look at rookie DJ Giddens with Tyler Goodson (elbow) inactive. Taylor had 18 carries for 71 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in the 33-8 win before departing and not returning. It was a bummer to see quarterback Daniel Jones fall into the end zone at the goal line instead of Taylor, but all in all, it was a plus for JT's fantasy managers to see Indy's offense humming in Week 1. Taylor should be able to play in Week 2, albeit against a much stouter Denver Broncos defense.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (undisclosed) exited Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins and was seen chatting with medical personnel on the sideline, according to Kevin Bowen of 1075 The Fan. After playing 100 percent of the offensive snaps in the first half, Taylor was not on the field for a scoring drive in the fourth quarter of Week 1. The severity of Taylor's injury is unknown, and it's possible that the Colts are being extra cautious with his management because they are leading by four possessions in the final quarter. Nevertheless, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. At the time of Taylor's departure, he had 18 carries for 71 rushing yards, plus 27 receiving yards. D.J. Giddens has been handling backfield snaps in his absence.
Sep 7, 2025 3:29 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will open his 2025 season with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Taylor finished his 2024 season on a tear, scoring six touchdowns over the final three games of the year. He will look to get off to a fast start this season against a Miami defense that allowed the 18th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Thanks to the Colts' decision to go with Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson Sr. at quarterback, Taylor should see more targets and more carries at the goal line than he would if Richardson were available. Taylor checks in as a top-six, must-start fantasy option heading into the first week of games.
Sep 6, 2025 7:45 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball once for nine yards and was not targeted in the passing game in a 23-19 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Taylor got the start and looked good on his lone carry before calling it a day in the close loss to Green Bay. The veteran running back has little to prove in preseason action as he is locked into a workhorse role for the Colts as the regular season approaches. Taylor sets up as a solid RB1 in fantasy leagues, with durability his main red flag as he's missed 10 games over the past two seasons. He is unlikely to play in the Colts' preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals as he turns his eyes toward getting ready for the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
Aug 17, 2025 7:29 AM EST
ESPN's Stephen Holder reports that Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (groin) are a few of the team's starters that will not be suiting up for Thursday's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to Taylor and Pittman, DeForest Buckner, Braden Smith, Josh Downs, Bernhard Raimann and Grover Stewart will be on the sidelines. Pittman's fantasy stock is falling after he finished shy of 1,000 receiving yards with only three touchdowns in 2024 while battling through injuries. The Colts' QB situation isn't endearing, either, and Pittman will continue to battle for targets with emerging wideouts Downs and Adonai Mitchell. He's fallen to WR4/flex territory. For the volume alone with nobody to really challenge him for backfield touches in Indy, Taylor remains a top-10 fantasy RB.
Aug 7, 2025 7:19 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ran the ball 34 times for 177 yards and touchdown during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor's 34 rushing attempts set a new career-high. Taylor punched in his score on a six-yard run in the second frame. His longest carry of the game went for 17 yards. Taylor has enjoyed a fantastic end to the season. The Wisconsin product has tallied at least 100 rushing yards in each of his past four contests and tallied six total touchdowns over this span. This was a nice improvement as Taylor only eclipsed the century mark four times over his first ten games of the season. The 25-year-old should continued to be viewed as a high-end RB1 heading into the 2025 season as he currently stands alone as the clear No.1 option in the Indianapolis backfield.
