Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his dominant season with a monster showing in his team's 38-14 Week 8 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Taylor recorded 12 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches for 21 yards and a receiving score as well. The 26-year-old running back is arguably on an MVP pace so far this season. Through eight games, Taylor has recorded 850 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 143 carries as well as 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 25 catches. He's the engine of a dominant Colts offense that is currently averaging over 30 points per game. Indianapolis will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 9. As long as Taylor is healthy, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back every week.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.
Still trying to decide between Taylor and Achane? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Jonathan Taylor is projected to score 8.6 points this week while De'Von Achane is projected to score 12.4 points.
