Jonathan Taylor Bounces Back with Stellar Week 6 Performance

Sunday, October 18, 5:50 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor delivered for fantasy managers in Week 6, recording 21 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 57 yards on four targets in his team's 26-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans. While Indianapolis' offense has struggled lately, Taylor is putting together another strong season so far. Across six games, the 27-year-old has logged 492 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 122 carries and hauled in 15 receptions for 163 yards on 23 targets. Taylor's efficiency is down, as he's averaging just 4.0 yards per carry after averaging 4.9 yards per carry in 2025. However, he remains a true workhorse back in Indianapolis, and he's the team's clear preferred option around the goal line. Heading into Week 7, Taylor remains a high-end RB1 option for fantasy managers.

Javonte Williams Stays Afloat With Short TD Plunge

Sunday, October 18, 10:23 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams churned out 41 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries in Sunday night's 23-13 defeat to the Green Bay Packers. He caught both of his targets for an additional nine yards. The sixth-year pro cashed in his seventh rushing score of the campaign early in the third quarter, but he was mostly ineffective as Dallas failed to score 20 points in the second straight game. It was the fifth time this season Williams did not average four yards per carry, something that happened only six times in 2025. In fact, he's currently averaging over a full yard fewer (3.73) per tote than a healthy 4.77 a year ago. A silver lining for the former Denver Bronco is that he's scoring at a much more rapid pace than last season and is the team's clear workhorse. Dallas will try to get back on track in Week 7 against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has not been as formidable in 2026.
