Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Najee Harris

Sunday, September 10, 8:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is healthy enough to pass a physical to return from the PUP list today, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. However, due to the terms of the PUP list, Taylor can't be activated until after Week 4, giving the Colts four weeks to evaluate their options. Rapoport notes that trading Taylor remains a very real outcome, and he added that the Dolphins represent a possible landing spot. He also writes that there is "a chance slim, but possible" that Taylor returns to play for Indianapolis. The entire situation is worth monitoring as the 2023 season gets underway on Sunday. For the time being, the Colts will operate with a backfield featuring Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, and Zack Moss (arm).

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris totaled 65 rushing yards on 19 carries in a Week 3 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris managed a few impressive runs but was ultimately inefficient once again. Although his usage on the ground was encouraging, Harris was mostly uninvolved in the passing game and was unable to secure his only target. Despite reports of Jaylen Warren earning more opportunities, Harris remained Pittsburgh's clear-cut RB1 on Sunday night. His fantasy output has been disappointing through three weeks, but there is reason to be optimistic as the Steelers' offense looked much improved this week. Harris will project as a solid RB2 option next week against the Houston Texans.
