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.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is expected to handle a heavy workload in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the Chiefs' offense catching fire in recent weeks, the Raiders will likely try to control the tempo by leaning on Jeanty and the ground game. The rookie has thrived in outside zone concepts, an area where Kansas City's defense has struggled, setting him up for a potentially productive day. The Chiefs rank 19th in rushing yards allowed per game (119.2), creating an ideal matchup for Jeanty to exploit. Expect the Raiders to establish the run early and often, keeping Patrick Mahomes off the field while feeding their emerging backfield workhorse. Jeanty profiles as a strong RB2 play in fantasy lineups and could deliver one of his best performances of the season on Sunday.
