Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or RJ Harvey

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.

Denver Broncos rookie running back R.J. Harvey played a season-high 60.7% of the snaps in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but had underwhelming production with 11 carries for 30 yards to go with three receptions (three targets) for 20 yards as a receiver. In the first game without J.K. Dobbins (foot), the rookie second-rounder handled the bulk of the running back touches, which bodes well for his rest of season outlook. Jaleel McLaughin's involvement near the goal line could limit the upside as he took two of the three carries inside the 10 and scored a touchdown against the Chiefs, but we'll need to see more than one game to determine that. Harvey has the explosiveness and receiving ability to be impactful in fantasy down the stretch, and he gets a prime matchup in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders.
