Jonathan Taylor Remains an Elite Week 4 Option

Saturday, October 3, 10:57 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor gets a difficult matchup Sunday, but there is no real lineup decision to make here. Taylor has 258 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries through three games, and he has added nine catches for 67 yards. Houston held him to 68 yards on 23 carries last week, easily his quietest rushing day so far. Washington has been much tougher on the ground than most teams, allowing just 246 rushing yards through three games at 3.8 yards per carry. The Commanders also lead the league with a 25% run-stuff rate. That could make the efficiency ugly at times, but Taylor's volume keeps him insulated from a tougher matchup. He was a full participant Thursday and Friday and carries no game designation. RotoBaller has him at RB4 for Week 4. Taylor should stay locked into lineups for Sunday's London game.

Blake Corum News

Blake Corum Avoidable Against a Strong Eagles Run Defense

Saturday, October 3, 4:52 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is coming off a disappointing performance on the ground, and he'll continue to have a lower floor in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Corum turned in his worst snap share, rushing attempts total, rushing yards total, and efficiency of the young season last week, and although he caught two passes, it resulted in zero receiving yards. He clearly lost ground to Kyren Williams in the running back pecking order, and to make matters worse, he'll get a tough matchup in Week 4. The Eagles have allowed just one total touchdown and the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2026. Philadelphia has been softer against the run than the pass, but we could still see Corum having trouble producing consistently given his relative struggles last week. Long-term, he's a strong handcuff with matchup-based RB3 appeal, but he can be left on the bench for this specific game.
