Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Jonathan Taylor (neck) is "good" after he took an awkward hit to his neck area in Sunday's Week 1 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Steichen added that Taylor could have gone back into the game, but with the Colts up big in the second half, it wasn't worth it. The Colts also took the opportunity to get an extended look at rookie DJ Giddens with Tyler Goodson (elbow) inactive. Taylor had 18 carries for 71 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in the 33-8 win before departing and not returning. It was a bummer to see quarterback Daniel Jones fall into the end zone at the goal line instead of Taylor, but all in all, it was a plus for JT's fantasy managers to see Indy's offense humming in Week 1. Taylor should be able to play in Week 2, albeit against a much stouter Denver Broncos defense.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his nine targets for 95 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. His touchdown came on a big 33-yard strike from Justin Fields in their first game together. Wilson's big game should excite fantasy managers going forward. There was no question that Wilson is an impact receiver with big upside, but it was a little unclear what his role would look like in a Fields-led offense. Now, we have our answer, and it's exciting. Wilson remains a high-end WR2 with legitimate WR1 upside heading into next week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
