Jonathan Taylor Tops 200 Yards From Scrimmage in Week 2 Win

Sunday, September 14, 9:09 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had a monster game in his team's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old logged 25 carries for 165 yards and also caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Across the first two games of the season, Taylor has now recorded 313 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. The Colts' offense has been surprisingly effective so far overall, dropping 33 points on the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 and 29 on Denver in Week 2. Taylor is a must-start fantasy running back with high-end RB1 upside as long as he stays healthy and the Indianapolis offense remains competent.

Troy Franklin News

Troy Franklin Emerging as the Clear WR2 in Denver?

Tuesday, September 16, 11:08 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin had a breakout game in Week 2, recording eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year wideout now has 12 catches for 133 yards and a score through the first two games of the season. Franklin's 15 targets lead the team, ahead of even star Denver wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Franklin has a tough matchup in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he's still a player for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire given his emerging role in Denver. Franklin should be added in all PPR-scoring leagues with 14 or more teams.
