Jonathan Taylor Poised for Another Productive Year

Thursday, September 3, 7:46 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is poised to have another very productive season in 2026. Taylor ranked as the overall RB4 in PPR leagues last year, and even that finish was somewhat underwhelming relative to how dominant he started the season. Through the first 10 weeks last year, he scored a whopping 17 touchdowns while ranking as the RB1 in PPR leagues. In fact, during that span, he scored 25.1 points more than the RB2, Christian McCaffrey. He also had a torrid stretch where he recorded five different three-touchdown games within eight weeks. In other words, Taylor was playing at an MVP level before cooling off after the bye week (and after quarterback Daniel Jones went down with an Achilles injury). Jones is healthy again, restoring a semblance of life to this offense and potentially reigniting Taylor's upside as the overall RB1 if he can stay healthy. He is currently being drafted in the middle of the first round of fantasy drafts, typically as the fourth running back off the board.

TreVeyon Henderson News

TreVeyon Henderson Remains Sidelined Saturday

Saturday, September 5, 10:44 AM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was not present for the media-access portion of Saturday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Henderson has not practiced since injuring his right ankle on Aug. 24. A report late last month said he had avoided a serious injury and was expected to be ready for Week 1, but the second-year back still has not made it onto the field with New England's opener four days away. Henderson ran for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries as a rookie, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score. The Patriots will issue their first injury report of the season later Saturday, which should give a clearer picture of where Henderson stands for Wednesday night's game in Seattle.
