Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Michael Carter

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.

The Arizona Cardinals promoted running back Michael Carter to the active roster from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Carter was cut by the Cardinals the week leading into their Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys, but was quickly signed back to the practice squad soon thereafter. The 26-year-old has fallen out of favor after operating as Arizona's lead back in Week 5 against the Titans, when he handled 18 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown to go with five catches (five targets) for 22 yards. Carter has since fallen behind Bam Knight and Emari Demercado in the pecking order for touches and didn't play a single snap in Week 9 versus Dallas. It appears to be trending toward a two-man backfield in Week 10 against Seattle, but things could change. Carter can likely be left on the waiver wire.
