Jonathan Taylor Runs for Nine Yards in Preseason Loss to Packers

Sunday, August 17, 7:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball once for nine yards and was not targeted in the passing game in a 23-19 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Taylor got the start and looked good on his lone carry before calling it a day in the close loss to Green Bay. The veteran running back has little to prove in preseason action as he is locked into a workhorse role for the Colts as the regular season approaches. Taylor sets up as a solid RB1 in fantasy leagues, with durability his main red flag as he's missed 10 games over the past two seasons. He is unlikely to play in the Colts' preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals as he turns his eyes toward getting ready for the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.

Ty Chandler Struggles In Preseason Week 2

Saturday, August 16, 6:58 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler rushed three times for 12 yards and dropped his only target on Saturday against the New England Patriots. It was yet another uninspiring performance for the UNC product, who doesn't appear to be a lock to make Minnesota's 53-man roster. Chandler's best case at this point may be as a returner, especially after the Vikings lost receiver Rondale Moore (knee) for the season, but Zavier Scott is also lurking as a viable RB3 candidate who has put together a good camp and back-to-back strong showings in the preseason. This will be a battle to watch in the coming weeks.
