Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or RJ Harvey

Tuesday, November 4, 9:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey fell back down to earth as the offense struggled to produce much in Thursday's 10-7 win against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos' rookie running back rushed for nine yards on four carries while catching two of three targets for nine yards in Thursday's victory. Harvey had scored subsequently over the past three weeks, but the Broncos only produced 10 points as a unit on Thursday night. Counterpart J.K. Dobbins has been dominating the backfield touches and continued to do so, out-touching Harvey 19-6 in this matchup. There was a red zone possession that Harvey seemed to be featured on, but with the lack of offensive scoring this week, it was hard for him to unlock his weekly scoring upside. Despite a disappointing performance on Thursday, Harvey remains a high-end FLEX play and will look to bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.
