Jonathan Taylor Primed For Monster Day vs Titans in Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 12:56 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor should enjoy a fantastic fantasy football performance against the hopeless Tennessee Titans in Week 6. Tennessee has one of the NFL's weakest offenses, and their inability to move the ball down the field should help the Colts dominate time of possession. Such a game should feature a heavy dose of Taylor carries, at least a few rushing touchdowns, and a finish with 20 or more PPR fantasy points. The Titans are surprisingly good against running backs in fantasy football on paper, but the ineffectiveness of their offense allows opposing offenses a lot of flexibility in how they grind the clock down after building a modes lead and still come away with a win. Taylor is good enough to overcome such perceived difficulties, and he'll be instrumental in keeping the clock churning. Treat him as an elite RB1 in fantasy football for Week 6.

Titans Elevate Michael Carter to Active Roster Amid Injuries

Saturday, September 26, 10:33 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Michael Carter has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Mike Garafolo. The move comes with Tyjae Spears questionable because of an ankle injury after missing Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited practice Friday. Spears has 10 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 41 yards through two games. Carter gives Tennessee another backfield option alongside Tony Pollard and rookie Nick Singleton if Spears is limited or unable to play. The former Jets back also returns to MetLife Stadium, where he spent the first three seasons of his NFL career.
