Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Kimani Vidal

Saturday, November 8, 9:08 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been one of the most dominant fantasy players in the league this season, racking up 14 all-purpose touchdowns in nine games. The Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9 were one of the few teams able to slow the elite rusher down, holding him to 45 scoreless rushing yards on 14 carries. Taylor will look to get back into the end zone in a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. The Falcons have shut down passing attacks but have been beatable on the ground this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. That sets up Taylor for a big day as the Colts are likely to lean on the run game against Atlanta. He settles in as a top-three fantasy RB in Week 10.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal struggled against the Tennessee Titans' weak run defense, gaining only 30 yards on 12 carries, averaging just 2.5 yards per carry. This Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers presents a much tougher challenge, as the Steelers just held the league's top running back, Jonathan Taylor, to a season-low 45 yards. The Steelers have significantly improved their run defense since the first half of the season, making Vidal's chances of fantasy success highly dependent on a positive game script. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on IR, Vidal will see the volume, but if the game stays close, a pass-heavy approach could limit his rushing opportunities. Vidal is considered a mid-range RB2 and a high-floor PPR FLEX option, projected as RB17. However, his ceiling depends on the Chargers securing an early lead.
