Jonathan Taylor News
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) confirmed earlier this week that he had successful surgery on his ankle, an arthroscopic debridement. Taylor initially injured his ankle in Week 4 and was never physically the same the rest of the year. "That thing had a bunch of junk in there from a bunch of years," Taylor said. "Just finally had to clean it out and make sure I'm good to go. We finally had the time to get it right, make sure I'm 100% ready to rock. That's all you can ask." He rushed for 1,811 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2021 but was a massive disappointment in 2022 because of his injured ankle and Indy's poor offense as a whole. Fantasy managers won't be quite so high on the 24-year-old in drafts this fall, but Taylor will have RB1 upside as a bounce-back candidate, depending on what the Colts do at the QB position.
The Indianapolis Colts are placing running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a high-ankle sprain, according to a league source. He'll miss the final three games of the regular season. In a corresponding move, the Colts promoted running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad to the active roster. As the No. 1 overall pick in most fantasy drafts in 2022, Taylor was a bust this year, finishing with 861 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 192 carries while also catching 28 passes for an additional 143 yards in just 11 games. The 23-year-old's fantasy stock will take a hit going into 2023, but he could easily bounce back if the Colts fix their QB situation and offensive-line issues. In the final three games, Zack Moss and Deon Jackson should form a timeshare in Indy's backfield.
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The organization did further testing and determined that Taylor has suffered a high-ankle sprain. That being said, the organization appears comfortable with shutting down Taylor for the rest of the season. It's a lost season for the Colts, so there is no reason for the team to rush back their franchise running back. He'll finish the season with 861 yards and four touchdowns, adding 28 receptions for 143 yards. It was a disappointing year for Taylor, but hopefully he can bounce back at full health next season. In the meantime, Deon Jackson and Zack Moss should split up the carries in the backfield for the last few games.
