Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Jonathan Taylor

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) could return to the field in Week 4, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The talented 26-year-old missed Week 3 with a high-ankle sprain, but now that he has 10 days of potential recovery before the Giants' Monday Night Football appearance, Barkley could get healthy in time to play. He has 114 rushing yards, 41 receiving yards, and two touchdowns so far, making him the RB7 overall in fantasy football.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is healthy enough to pass a physical to return from the PUP list today, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. However, due to the terms of the PUP list, Taylor can't be activated until after Week 4, giving the Colts four weeks to evaluate their options. Rapoport notes that trading Taylor remains a very real outcome, and he added that the Dolphins represent a possible landing spot. He also writes that there is "a chance slim, but possible" that Taylor returns to play for Indianapolis. The entire situation is worth monitoring as the 2023 season gets underway on Sunday. For the time being, the Colts will operate with a backfield featuring Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, and Zack Moss (arm).
