Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been the best player in fantasy through the first seven weeks of the season. He continued his white-hot start to the year in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has rushed for 697 yards while scoring 11 all-purpose touchdowns on the year. He will look to keep it going at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The Titans have struggled against the run this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Taylor is in a smash spot and should be locked into all fantasy lineups as a top-three play at the running-back position.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot following the team's win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hampton has required the boot ever since Week 5, when he injured his ankle and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. The rookie was spectacular when healthy, averaging 5.6 rushing yards per carry as the team's primary running back, as well as 5.7 receptions and 0.7 touchdowns per game. Fantasy managers are surely ready for Hampton to return so that he can continue to offer RB1 production, but they may have to be patient given that the rookie still hasn't been able to shed his boot. Kimani Vidal remains the lead running back in Los Angeles for the time being.
