Jonathan Taylor a Top-Three RB in Week 12 vs. Chiefs

Friday, November 21, 4:19 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor should be well-rested coming out of his Week 11 bye. Taylor has been one of the top players in fantasy this season, racking up 17 all-purpose touchdowns in just 10 games. The star running back will look to stay hot in a Week 12 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been tough on running backs this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Taylor has been too dominant this season and will continue to see the bulk of the Colts' running-back touches. He settles in as a top-three fantasy running back heading into Week 12 in a game with a 50-point over/under.

Theo Johnson Consistently Producing Amid Quarterback Change

Saturday, November 22, 11:43 AM

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson has emerged as a top-12 option in fantasy scoring this season, benefiting from the emergence of quarterback Jaxson Dart. However, even with Dart sidelined due to a concussion last weekend, Johnson was able to stay relevant with three catches for 36 yards while commanding targets from Jameis Winston. Dart has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Detroit Lions, leaving Winston in line to start a second consecutive game. While Johnson's ceiling is highest with Dart on the field, he should continue to produce in an offense led by Winston, who is known for airing out the ball with his gunslinger mentality. Johnson ranks as the overall TE11 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and should be started in most leagues.
