Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Mason Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned in yet another dominant performance in a Week 6 win as he rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. Taylor will look to stay red-hot as he gets ready to head on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. The Chargers have been decent against the run this season, allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, Taylor has been dominating the backfield work in Indy and already has eight all-purpose touchdowns to his name in 2025. He sets up as a top-five fantasy running back who should be locked into fantasy starting lineups for Week 7.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor is poised to see a more significant target share this weekend when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers. The LSU alum's usage was trending in the right direction over the previous few weeks, but his production bottomed out in a tough matchup with the Broncos in London. Although that isn't prescriptive moving forward, it's a firm reminder of the floor of the Jets' passing offense. Taylor will look to put last weekend's performance in the past, and figures to absorb a few extra looks with the news that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) might miss Sunday's contest. If that comes to fruition, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 21-year-old make a sizable impact. Even if Wilson suits up, it's likely he does so at less than 100%, giving Taylor a slightly higher fantasy floor. He's a high-end TE2 and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR TE16 for his outing with the Panthers.
