Jonathan Taylor Is The Guy In Colts Backfield
3 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor's late-season surge in his rookie year made it obvious that he is the team's starter heading into 2021, and The Athletic's Zak Keefer expects Taylor to get the bulk of the carries. The team will have some plays scripted for Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines, but the running game will flow through Taylor. Head coach Frank Reich said Taylor "earned the right to be the main guy." Keefer expects Taylor to see around 60% of the carries, if not more. Reich has been known to ride the hot hand on a game-by-game basis, but even still, the impressive Taylor deserves serious consideration as your RB1 behind a strong offensive line in the middle of the first round of fantasy drafts this fall.
