Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to Jonathan Taylor (ankle).
Jonathan Taylor is the engine of the Colts offense, so it’s anyone’s guess as to who will step up after the team ruled him out of Sunday’s game in Jacksonville. With so many snaps now available, either one of Trey Sermon ($5,700) or Tyler Goodson ($5,400) could have a day to remember. The only issue? Head coach Shane Steichen has said this will be a RB committee.
What can DFS and season-long fantasy managers expect this weekend from Indy? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down this suddenly messy backfield on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Even if there wasn’t a committee in place, Steve wouldn’t start any Colts running back. The Jaguars field a surprisingly competent run defense (10th-fewest rushing yards allowed).
- Meghan thinks the only answer, if you’re inclined to start an Indianapolis RB, is Sermon. He’s the only non-Taylor back to get a single carry this season. Still, his career 3.7 yards per carry leaves much to be desired.
- Steve doesn’t love Sermon in DFS when compared to similarly priced options like Jerome Ford ($5,800) and De’Andre Swift ($5,700).
