Jonathan Taylor Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor could be involved in the team's offensive plan from the get-go this season. According to head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni, they both reiterated that the rookie, along with Marlon Mack, will form an impactful one-two punch during the 2020 campaign. Mack has missed numerous games due to injury throughout his tenure in the league, but he still managed to finish with a career-best 1,091 yards in 2019. However, with the former Badger now in the mix, Mack may concede more touches in 2020 than initially thought.

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor was drafted at No. 41 overall and will play a lot in his rookie season alongside Marlon Mack, especially with the historic college resume that comes with him. It's possible that Taylor and Mack could switch off series, with one of them working the first- and second-down roles. Indianapolis averaged 29 carries per game in 2019, so Taylor could get as many as 15 carries per game, with Mack getting around 12 and Nyheim Hines or Roosevelt Nix getting around two. Not only is Taylor in an offense that could make serious noise in 2020, but he'll be running behind one of the best offensive lines in the league. The upside in Year 1 is palpable, and he may be the most attractive rookie running back in fantasy.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jacob Eason to their rookie deals. Taylor is expected to share lead back duties with Marlon Mack initially but has the profile to be the best early-down back from the 2020 NFL Draft and a solid fantasy flex option right off the bat. He's in competition to be the top rookie pick in dynasty leagues. The early outlook is less rosy for Eason, who the team has said is expected to compete with Chad Kelly for the third quarterback job with the Colts. Eason should win that role, but his fantasy value in re-draft leagues is virtually nothing.
