BALLER MOVE: Start in 8+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: It's been a long and winding journey for Taylor's fantasy managers in 2023. After missing the first four games of the season and then spending multiple games sharing the load with backfield mate Zack Moss, Taylor has finally seized control of the Colts backfield across the last two weeks.

Taylor has dominated the usage in the Indy backfield recently, logging 81% of the snaps and averaging 23.5 touches in the squad's last two outings. Finally earning the bell-cow volume that his fantasy managers have been hoping for, Taylor, unfortunately, draws a brutal Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Todd Bowles' squad has been a brick wall against the run in 2023. The Bucs are one of just two teams that haven't yielded a rushing TD to a running back this season and they've relinquished the NFL's fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position.
While the matchup is extremely daunting, Taylor's fantasy managers are betting on his talent and volume this week. He's on the RB1 borderline in Week 12 and should be started in all leagues. Brighter days are likely ahead, but expectations should probably be tempered against the Colts.
