Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Chris Olave

Sunday, October 5, 5:21 PM

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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave posted season-low numbers in Week 4 against the Bills, managing just six targets, three receptions, and 20 yards. He salvaged some fantasy value with his first touchdown of 2025 but also threw an interception on a failed trick play with Spencer Rattler. Despite the down performance, Olave remains a focal point of the Saints' passing attack and draws a favorable Week 5 matchup with the Giants, who are allowing 235.5 passing yards per game, ranking 25th in the league. Olave profiles as a WR2/WR3 for that one.
