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.

Xavier Worthy Hopes to Return in Week 3

Sunday, September 14, 11:26 AM

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is hoping to return next week when the Chiefs face the New York Giants. Rapoport noted that if Worthy can suit up, he would be playing with a torn labrum. However, the star wideout intends to wear a harness if he were to play. This week, Worthy was able to return to practice, which is an excellent sign that he is nearing a return. The second-year wideout suffered this injury during the opening possession of the first game of the season against the Chargers. As a rookie, Worthy flashed big-play upside in the Kansas City offense, totaling nine touchdowns with over 700 yards from scrimmage. This weekend, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster figure to lead the passing attack.
