Jonathan Taylor News
Sunday, November 8, 7:23 AM
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor drew trade interest from the New York Giants, but they backed away over the asking price before Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Josina Anderson. Jay Glazer reported that New York withdrew an offer of second- and fifth-round picks. The Giants have Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) inactive. Skattebo missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was limited Friday, and entered the weekend doubtful. Tom Pelissero reported Saturday that Taylor was most likely to stay in Indianapolis through Tuesday's trade deadline. Taylor had a season-low eight carries for 23 yards in Week 8 after the Colts fell behind Jacksonville 28-0 by halftime. Head coach Shane Steichen said he planned to use Taylor as usual against the Dallas Cowboys.

Ashton Jeanty News
Friday, November 6, 2:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty has stayed relevant in fantasy leagues because of his hybrid workload, but how will that play out against a stingy 49ers defense in Week 9? The 22-year-old had just two carries for nine yards against the New York Jets as Mike Washington Jr. took on a heavier workload, though Jeanty also caught three of four targets for 64 receiving yards in the Week 8 win. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak wouldn't specify whether Jeanty will have a heavier workload in Week 9, which makes his value uncertain against a formidable opponent. The 49ers defense ranks fifth overall against the run (89 YPG allowed), and pressure on Kirk Cousins to throw the ball will increase since Nick Bosa (calf) has been cleared to play. RotoBaller lists Jeanty as RB25 in the positional ranking, and he is a low-end RB2 in 12-plus-team leagues only given the difficult Week 9 matchup.
