Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Dillon Gabriel

Sunday, October 12, 8:51 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 123 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 14 receiving yards. Taylor has been one of the most productive running backs this season, scoring eight touchdowns over his last five games and ranking as the overall RB1 in standard and half-PPR scoring. (He is the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey in PPR leagues.) As long as Indianapolis continues to consistently operate from a neutral or positive game script, there will be plenty of opportunities for Taylor to produce. This is far from the last 20-carry, 100-yard game we'll see from the 26-year-old in 2025. He remains a high-end RB1 option heading into Week 7 against the Chargers.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 29 of his 52 pass attempts for 221 yards and no touchdowns in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Gabriel struggled to get much going against a struggling Pittsburgh defense, leading his team to just three field goals while averaging just 4.3 passing yards per attempt in his second career start. The rookie signal caller has now thrown for 430 yards and three touchdowns while completing 57.3% of his passes thus far. Gabriel will now look to bounce back against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing 29 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL. That being said, Gabriel will be tough to trust as anything more than a high-end QB3 in Week 7.
