Jonathan Taylor Primed For Monster Day vs Titans in Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 12:56 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor should enjoy a fantastic fantasy football performance against the hopeless Tennessee Titans in Week 6. Tennessee has one of the NFL's weakest offenses, and their inability to move the ball down the field should help the Colts dominate time of possession. Such a game should feature a heavy dose of Taylor carries, at least a few rushing touchdowns, and a finish with 20 or more PPR fantasy points. The Titans are surprisingly good against running backs in fantasy football on paper, but the ineffectiveness of their offense allows opposing offenses a lot of flexibility in how they grind the clock down after building a modes lead and still come away with a win. Taylor is good enough to overcome such perceived difficulties, and he'll be instrumental in keeping the clock churning. Treat him as an elite RB1 in fantasy football for Week 6.

Jahmyr Gibbs News

Jahmyr Gibbs Tops 200 Scrimmage Yards in Win Over Arizona

Sunday, October 11, 6:19 PM

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs logged 25 carries, 151 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught five of his six targets for an additional 56 receiving yards. Gibbs tallied over 200 scrimmage yards in the effort, solidifying his status as the overall RB1 in PPR leagues. In total, he is up to 747 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns through just five games this season. The 24-year-old was a popular No. 1 pick in 2026 redraft leagues, and he's absolutely living up to the hype. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Gibbs is heading into a bye week, but he'll return to action in Week 7 as a must-start RB1 against the Green Bay Packers.
