Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Jaydon Blue

Saturday, December 6, 11:00 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is one of the short favorites to win Offensive Player of the Year as he's put together a historically great season through 12 games so far. Taylor has recorded 226 carries for a league-leading 1,282 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 35 receptions for 304 yards and two more touchdowns on 40 targets as a receiver. Taylor is averaging 24.8 PPR points per game, only trailing Christian McCaffrey among running backs this season. The superstar running back has cooled off in the past two games, though, totaling 143 yards and no touchdowns on 37 carries following his monster day against the Falcons in Week 10, when he racked up 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns. That was the second-most rushing yards in a game for his career, trailing only his 253-yard outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17 of 2021. Taylor will be looking for a repeat of that performance on Sunday against the Jaguars and ranks as RotoBaller's RB3 in PPR leagues for Week 14.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, leading to him being a late-round dart throw in fantasy football drafts. Blue has been unable to carry over that momentum during the summer into his first NFL season, though, as he's been active for only four games in 2025. The 21-year-old fifth-round selection out of Texas didn't make his debut until Week 5, and he has been a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he fumbled the ball away in the team's Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. It seemed as though Blue had a clear path to RB2 duties after Miles Sanders had season-ending knee surgery, but Malik Davis has ascended the depth chart behind starter Javonte Williams instead. In his four games this year, Blue has only 22 carries for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. Blue should only be stashed in keeper/dynasty leagues.
