BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Outside of the most absurd taco leagues and joke fantasy football groups, there isn't a single roster where you should consider benching Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. He's one of the best RBs in the league in a workhorse role with a good offense and good offensive line to help.
Jonathan Taylor had 5 touches that resulted in 10+ yard gains, making up 84 of his 117 total yards.

Regardless of the matchup, it would be an incredibly unserious move to leave him on the bench. Any player still in their 20s who hasn't shown extreme decline and previously had an RB1 overall season has to be started. It is a tough matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, but he's already proven he can produce even against stiff opposition.
They've allowed the eighth-fewest PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Then again, No. 28 faced the Houston Texans in Week 8, who allowed the fourth-fewest, and put up 18.7 points on them. You can't bench him. You just can't. He's an explosive-play machine and a potential league-winner.
Fire him up in every league. He should never leave your starting lineup when healthy and playing.
