BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remains out, Trey Sermon is a must-add in all league formats.
With Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor missing the Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Trey Sermon became one of the most-added players in fantasy football. As the Colts begin Week 6 practices for their matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Taylor's status is yet to be determined, complicating the decision for fantasy managers.
In his first start last week, Sermon rushed ten times for 38 yards and a touchdown while also catching six passes for 25 yards. Although it wasn't the most efficient outing, the volume was there, and the touchdown provided a nice boost to his fantasy point total.

The main concern for Sermon is his lack of efficiency, as he is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on the season. This makes him a volume-based player, and unless Taylor is sidelined, that volume has not been encouraging.
The Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans presents an intriguing opportunity for the Colts' backfield, as it's a favorable matchup. However, unless Taylor is out, Sermon holds little to no value for fantasy managers. If Taylor does sit out, Sermon becomes a must-add and an RB2 or high-end Flex play. If Taylor plays, Sermon should be viewed as a potential stash and insurance policy for Taylor owners.
