Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Jonathan Taylor

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 25 of 34 pass attempts for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 30 yards in a 28-7 Monday night win over the Washington Commanders. Mahomes had a rocky first half, throwing interceptions on each of the Chiefs' first two drives, although the second one wasn't his fault as it doinked off of Travis Kelce's hands right into Bobby Wagner's lap. In the second half, the superstar quarterback put on a masterclass, continuously extending plays and finding the open man. He had only two incompletions in the second half and had a near-perfect passer rating at 154.3. Mahomes effectively distributed to his top three targets, with Rashee Rice and Kelce both going over 90 yards and scoring touchdowns, and involving Xavier Worthy for five catches and 53 yards. Kansas City's offense is in top form, and now they head on the road for an epic Week 9 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his dominant season with a monster showing in his team's 38-14 Week 8 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Taylor recorded 12 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches for 21 yards and a receiving score as well. The 26-year-old running back is arguably on an MVP pace so far this season. Through eight games, Taylor has recorded 850 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 143 carries as well as 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 25 catches. He's the engine of a dominant Colts offense that is currently averaging over 30 points per game. Indianapolis will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 9. As long as Taylor is healthy, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back every week.
