Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Jalen Nailor

Sunday, September 14, 9:09 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had a monster game in his team's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old logged 25 carries for 165 yards and also caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Across the first two games of the season, Taylor has now recorded 313 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. The Colts' offense has been surprisingly effective so far overall, dropping 33 points on the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 and 29 on Denver in Week 2. Taylor is a must-start fantasy running back with high-end RB1 upside as long as he stays healthy and the Indianapolis offense remains competent.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor operated as the clear WR2 behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson in the team's 22-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 2. Nailor finished the night second in both targets (five) and yardage (31) while tying for the team lead in catches (three) in a game in which quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) looked like a rookie. The 26-year-old could have had a much bigger game had McCarthy not overthrown him on what could have been a long touchdown reception. Nailor really hasn't been anything special through two weeks in a Vikings offense that has mostly struggled in McCarthy's first two career games, as he's caught four passes on eight targets for 59 yards and no scores. Jordan Addison has one more game to serve on his suspension, so Nailor might have one final chance for flex value in a plus Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Minnesota's defense could actually see a boost with the move to backup QB Carson Wentz.
