Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

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.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has received the bulk of the touches in the backfield over the past two weeks with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season, recording 33 carries for 159 yards along with five catches (six targets) for 51 yards. Tracy's 38 touches over those two weeks rank as the ninth most in the league among running backs, but veteran Devin Singletary has taken away some of the more high-value opportunities, handling all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line. So it has been a split backfield for the most part, with Tracy handling most of the work between the 20s and Singletary getting the goal line and pass down responsibilities. Things could change, but that limits Tracy's upside and will make it tough to find the end zone. The 25-year-old should still see plenty of volume in Week 12 against Detroit and ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues.
