Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Elic Ayomanor

Sunday, October 19, 8:20 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 38 receiving yards. Taylor turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in PPR leagues, shrinking the gap between him and this year's overall RB1, Christian McCaffrey. The 26-year-old has scored three touchdowns in three different games this season, totaling 10 scores over his last five contests. Taylor should continue to feast next week against a Titans defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered 88 yards and a touchdown to Rhamondre Stevenson. He's in the mix to be next week's overall RB1.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is expected to handle an increased workload against the New England Patriots in Week 7 after Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was ruled out for the contest. Ridley missed most of last week's game, too, and Ayomanor benefited, catching three passes for 27 yards on a season-high 93 percent snap share. The catch total was nothing special, but that large snap share indicates that Ayomanor is on the field for almost every play, and that his target share should start to increase as a result. The Patriots have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, leaving Ayomanor in the WR3/flex range.
