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.

Finishes 2024 in style
Taylor carried the ball 34 times for 177 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
It was another huge performance for the 25-year-old RB, who topped 100 yards in each of the last four games of the season, tying the longest such streak in his career. Taylor wrapped up 2024 with 1,431 yards and 11 TDs on the ground with a 4.7 YPC over 14 games, his best campaign since 2021. He has two years and $24 million left on his current contract with $7.2 million guaranteed for 2025, and as long as he can stay healthy he figures to remain the focal point of the Colts' offense next year while the team continues its efforts to develop QB Anthony Richardson (back).

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
Premature celebration proves costly
Taylor dropped the ball before crossing the goal line as he celebrated prematurely on what should have been a 41-yard touchdown but instead turned into a touchback in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos, per James Boyd of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Taylor was credited with a 40-yard run and a lost fumble on the play. As Boyd points out, that blunder could be the play that ends up costing the Colts a playoff berth. Taylor would have put the Colts up by two scores in the fourth quarter had he finished the play, but the Broncos instead capitalized on the second chance and responded with 24 unanswered points to close out the game. The loss dropped Indianapolis to 6-8 while Denver improved to 9-5.
