2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taylor's 2023 season was a bit of a circus at first, and there might have been a little rust as a result of the holdout/lockout/injury feud that kept him out of training camp and the first four weeks of the season. Once he settled in and got rolling, Taylor reestablished himself as one of the NFL's top backs, running for 704 yards and seven touchdowns on 155 carries (4.5 YPC) over his final eight games. The rushing average was a bit low by his standards -- Taylor averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry in his first two NFL seasons -- but overall it was a strong showing in a mediocre offense. Fellow running back Zack Moss then left for Cincinnati in free agency, setting up Taylor to handle a larger share of the Colts' backfield work in 2024, though QB Anthony Richardson figures to get a lot of the goal-line carries. While Taylor will always be known as a run-first RB, the departure of Moss combined with the three-year, $42 million extension Taylor signed last fall gives the Colts good reason to keep him on the field for a lot of passing downs. The ankle troubles of previous years left Taylor alone in 2023 -- it was a thumb injury that cost him Weeks 13 through 15 -- and the Colts' lack of investment in RB depth hints at confidence he can carry the load this year.

RANKS
Quiet in Flacco-led offense
Taylor rushed 13 times for 48 yards while catching three of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Taylor had rushed for at least 88 yards in each of his previous four appearances, but this performance was more similar to his disappointing 48-yard Week 1 outing against the Texans, though he at least found the end zone in that one. It's a bit worrying that this subpar outing coincided with Taylor's first game started alongside Joe Flacco at quarterback. The threat of Anthony Richardson using his legs may have helped open up additional running lanes for Taylor, but Taylor's unlikely to go into a prolonged slump while Richardson is benched given the star running back's track record of success when healthy. Taylor will look to bounce back in Week 10 against a Bills defense that has struggled to defend running backs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Taylor was generally regarded as the RB1 going into 2022, and he may have held on to the title if not for ankle troubles -- first a standard ankle sprain in Week 4 that lingered for five weeks, and then a season-ending high ankle sprain Week 15. It also didn't help that the Colts completely fell apart around him, tanking his red-zone and pass-catching opportunities. In his first two seasons, Taylor scored on 5.1 percent of his carries and averaged 7.3 yards per target, but in 2022 those figures dropped to 2.1 percent and 3.6 YPT. Taylor has never benefited from good quarterback play in Indianapolis -- Philip Rivers was merely acceptable and Carson Wentz something less than that -- but the struggles of Matt Ryan proved to be more than even Taylor could withstand. If new coach Shane Steichen and rookie QB Anthony Richardson can fix those issues, it would mean a lot for Taylor's fantasy value, especially since he's already shown the ability to post RB1 numbers with even mediocre quarterback play. The ankle injuries in 2022 were due to a combination of bad luck and a rushed return from injury, but the impact may be dragging into 2023 even after a successful offseason surgery. The Colts placed Taylor on the PUP list for the start of training camp, and shortly thereafter he requested a trade due to frustration with extension negotiations. He's now on the regular-season PUP list, and thus ineligible for the first four games of the season, but the Colts can still trade him in the meantime.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sidelined again Sunday
Taylor will not play in Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Titans due to an ankle injury, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor will therefore log his second consecutive absence due to the injury, with the star running back failing to practice all week. As was the case in a Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, Trey Sermon is expected to fill in as the Colts' primary back, while the expected return of quarterback Anthony Richardson from hip and oblique injuries should also offer the team's ground game a boost.
