Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Christian Watson

Tuesday, November 4, 9:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.

In two games since returning from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) has recorded six catches for 143 yards on eight targets. Watson was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, but he's expected to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The 26-year-old has looked as explosive as ever so far in 2025, averaging 23.8 yards per reception. Consistent target volume has always been an issue for Watson, but there are some reasons to believe he could see an expanded role in Week 10. Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, and wide receivers Savion Williams (foot), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all on Thursday's injury report. Watson also played 66% of the Packers' offensive snaps in Week 9, up from 56% in Week 8. Heading into Week 10, Watson profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers.
