Jonathan Taylor News
Saturday, October 3, 10:57 AM
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor gets a difficult matchup Sunday, but there is no real lineup decision to make here. Taylor has 258 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries through three games, and he has added nine catches for 67 yards. Houston held him to 68 yards on 23 carries last week, easily his quietest rushing day so far. Washington has been much tougher on the ground than most teams, allowing just 246 rushing yards through three games at 3.8 yards per carry. The Commanders also lead the league with a 25% run-stuff rate. That could make the efficiency ugly at times, but Taylor's volume keeps him insulated from a tougher matchup. He was a full participant Thursday and Friday and carries no game designation. RotoBaller has him at RB4 for Week 4. Taylor should stay locked into lineups for Sunday's London game.

Jonathon Brooks News
Wednesday, September 23, 12:10 PM
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that the timeline for running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen/groin) to return after undergoing core muscle surgery is six to eight weeks, per Steve Reed of The Associated Press. Per Reed, Canales said that the return timeline with or without the surgery "would have been about the same," prompting the team to take the surgical route. It's the latest in a long line of injury setbacks for Brooks, who has appeared in just five games since Carolina selected him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Across two games in 2026 before getting injured, the 23-year-old recorded nine carries for 30 yards and two catches for 43 yards on three targets. With Brooks sidelined, Panthers RB1 Chuba Hubbard could take on an even larger share of the team's backfield work. Carolina also hosted veteran running back Austin Ekeler for a workout on Wednesday, but no deal between the two parties has been announced yet.
