Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Michael Carter

Saturday, November 29, 7:42 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is coming off a rare slow outing for him as he gained just 58 scoreless yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Taylor will look to bounce back at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. Taylor has been one of the most dominant fantasy players in the league this season with 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games and should be locked into starting lineups on a weekly basis regardless of his opponent. He sets up as a top-three fantasy running back for Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter figures to remain in the mix for at least one more game. Fellow back Trey Benson (knee) is working his way back in the mix, but has been ruled out for the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, Bam Knight figures to operate as the lead back with Carter getting mixed in as well. Last week, Carter rushed the ball five times for 28 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He should once again see a handful of carries this weekend, but should fall to RB3 duties once Benson returns. Fantasy managers are unlikely to get much out of Carter after this weekend.
