Jonathan Taylor News
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.

James Cook III News
Saturday, October 17, 7:39 AM
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III has already topped 100 rushing yards three times this season, and Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas gives him an excellent opportunity for another productive afternoon. The Raiders are surrendering 140.6 rushing yards per game and 5.21 yards per carry, numbers that should favor a Buffalo offense averaging 5.4 yards per rushing attempt. Cook enters Week 6 with 532 yards and five touchdowns on 95 carries, including 111 yards and two scores on 25 attempts against the Rams. His two fumbles in that game were concerning, particularly with ball security becoming a recurring issue, but Buffalo continued leaning heavily on him throughout the contest. Cook has contributed only seven receptions this season, leaving much of his fantasy value tied to rushing production. Nevertheless, his workload and the favorable matchup make him a strong RB1 option.
