Jonathan Taylor Back to High-End RB1 Tier with QB Returning?

Saturday, April 11, 9:21 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was a high-end RB1 and a dark-horse MVP candidate throughout the first half of the 2025 NFL season. Across his first 10 games of the year, he was averaging 113.9 rushing yards, 3.0 receptions, 26.0 receiving yards, and 1.7 touchdowns per contest. He ranked as the overall RB1 in PPR leagues from Week 1 to Week 10, and it wasn't particularly close; he was a full 25.1 points ahead of the RB2 during that span, Christian McCaffrey, and a full 89.9 points ahead of the RB4, Jahmyr Gibbs. Things went downhill from there, though, as the Colts hit their bye week and soon after lost Daniel Jones to a season-ending Achilles injury. The suboptimal quarterback play of Riley Leonard and Philip Rivers made it challenging for Jonathan Taylor to maintain his superstar role. He averaged 12.6 fantasy points per game (23rd-best) the rest of the way. Jones has a strong chance to be healthy in Week 1 of the 2026 season, which would be great news for Taylor. The 27-year-old has proven that he can still be an elite ball-carrier if the offense is in decent shape. He continues to be treated as a top running back option in RotoBaller's latest dynasty football rankings, where he ranks as the overall RB6.

Jets to Revisit Extension Talks With Breece Hall After the Draft

Monday, March 30, 6:49 PM

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey said on Monday that he hopes to revisit contract-extension talks with franchise-tagged running back Breece Hall after the NFL draft in late April, per SNY. "Things are in a good place. I'm hopeful with Breece," Mougey said. Hall has not signed his franchise tag, but the two sides have until mid-July to work out a long-term extension. Despite a bad offense in 2025, the 24-year-old had the best year of his career with 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 243 rushing attempts over 16 games played. Hall added 36 receptions for 350 yards and another touchdown through the air. Fantasy managers in dynasty setups are hoping that Hall cannot work a long-term deal out with the Jets and he becomes a free agent again next year. For at least one more year with Gang Green, Hall will be a volume-based RB2 in what is expected to be another frustrating offensive situation with veteran QB Geno Smith running the show.
