Eclipses 100-yard mark in loss
Taylor rushed 12 times for 103 yards and brought in two of four targets for 32 yards in the Colts' 16-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Indianapolis.
Analysis: Taylor looked like himself on his modest amount of opportunities, averaging 8.6 yards per carry with a long run of 29 yards. He also finished with the Colts' second-highest receiving yardage total after being shut out altogether through the air in the Week 1 loss to the Texans. Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star confirms that the talented running back did not have any injury concerns early in the fourth quarter when he was substituted for Trey Sermon on a key drive, and Taylor's…read more

Finds end zone in loss
Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The fifth-year player was the only Colts running back to get a touch in the game, and while QB Anthony Richardson led the team in rushing yards with 56, Taylor capped his day with a five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Taylor could be in line for a much bigger performance in Week 2 against a Packers defense that got gashed for 132 scrimmage yards and three TDs by Saquon Barkley in its opener.

Five touches in preseason finale
Taylor rushed four times for 15 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Taylor started the game but exited a few drives earlier than most of the other starters, allowing Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull to get some first-team reps. None of the other running backs in the organization are likely to do much besides spell Taylor when he needs a breather as long as the workhorse remains healthy. Even with more than two weeks to recover before the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Texans, the Colts understandably limited Taylor's workload in the preseason finale, as…read more

Starters slated to play Thursday
Taylor and the Colts' starters are on track to play into the second quarter of Thursday's preseason finale against the Bengals, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After Taylor gets his anticipated reps Thursday, look for Tyler Goodson, Evan Hull, Zavier Scott and Demetric Felton to have an opportunity to make their cases for depth slotting in an Indy backfield that also includes Trey Sermon, who's been dealing with a hamstring issue. As the coming season approaches, Taylor is healthy and entrenched as his team's clear-cut lead back, a context that should result in a high-volume role in the team's Anthony Richardson-helmed offense.

Not in line to play Saturday
Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Taylor won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: The same can be said for the rest of the Colts' starters and No. 2 quarterback Joe Flacco. With Taylor in street clothes Saturday, Trey Sermon (hamstring, if available), Tyler Goodson, Evan Hull, Zavier Scott and Demetric Felton will be the candidates to work out of Indianapolis' backfield. As for Taylor, he's coming off back-to-back injury-riddled campaigns in which he averaged 90.4 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 12 total touchdowns in 21 regular-season contests.

Two carries in preseason cameo
Taylor rushed twice for four yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-30 preseason loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Taylor played the first two drives alongside starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, but the Colts understandably didn't give the workhorse running back many touches. While Taylor may continue to sprinkle in some carries throughout the preseason, including Saturday against the Cardinals, the Colts have little reason to put significant tread on his tires during the exhibition slate considering Taylor has handled 925 carries over the past four regular seasons and is in line for another…read more

Playing in preseason opener
Taylor is starting the Colts' first preseason game against Denver on Sunday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Taylor is likely to see the field for just a series or two, but it will give him an opportunity to play alongside starting QB Anthony Richardson after the pair logged just two snaps together last year. It could be interesting to see how lining up next to Richardson affects Taylor's opportunities, particularly at the goal line, as Richardson is an explosive runner who logged a 38 percent goal-line carry rate last year before getting injured Week 5. Taylor scored seven times on the ground and one…read more

Valiant effort to end campaign
Taylor (ankle) finished with 30 carries for 188 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for eight receiving yards in Saturday's 23-19 loss to Houston.
Analysis: It's incredible to think that Taylor could have had an even bigger rushing night had he not missed a portion of Saturday's action due to an ankle injury. The star tailback carried a stagnant Indianapolis offense throughout the contest, generating his first game of 100-plus rushing yards this season in the process. The Colts' season came to a disappointing end after the offense failed to convert on fourth-and-one while keeping Taylor -- who gained the previous nine yards on three straight rushes…read more

Back in Saturday's game
Taylor (ankle) returned to Saturday's game versus the Texans, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Taylor initially was deemed questionable to return due to a heel injury, but immediately before he reentered the contest he was deemed doubtful with an ankle injury. He now will look to build upon the 23 touches for 173 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD he had before hitting the locker room for half of one quarter.

Exits with heel injury Saturday
Taylor departed Saturday's game against the Texans due to a heel injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Taylor looked like his vintage self before heading to the locker room near the end of the third quarter, reeling off 165 yards on 21 carries and hauling in both targets for eight yards. His contributions on the ground included a 49-yard touchdown run, as he outran the entire Houston defense. Zack Moss likely will lead the Colts backfield for as long as Taylor is sidelined, with Tyler Goodson getting any RB reps that linger.

Season high in rushing yards Sunday
Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 96 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: The 96 yards were a season high for Taylor in an injury-plagued 2023, and he extended his scoring streak to four games with a five-yard TD run in the first quarter. Over those four contests, a stretch interrupted by a three-game absence due to thumb surgery, Taylor has delivered 299 rushing yards and five touchdowns. The Colts remain in a three-way tie atop the AFC South, so the fourth-year RB figures to be a big part of the game plan again in a Week 18 showdown with the Texans.

Heavy workload in return
Taylor rushed 18 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Colts' 29-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor had the backfield nearly all to himself in his return from a three-game injury due to a thumb issue, as Zack Moss (arm) was sidelined. Taylor certainly got the type of workload that was expected under such a scenario, but he found tough sledding against a Falcons defense that has frequently been stingy against the run. Taylor's lack of involvement in the passing game was also disappointing, considering Indianapolis was also down Michael Pittman (concussion). Taylor did salvage his day…read more

Good to go for Sunday
Taylor (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons after he was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday through Friday.
Analysis: Wednesday's practice was merely a walk-through session, but Taylor was able to take all reps during more traditional practices Thursday and Friday and apparently cleared up any lingering concern about his ability to play through the surgically repaired thumb that had kept him sidelined for Indianapolis' previous three games. Prior to having his thumb surgery, Taylor had averaged 17.2 carries and 2.4 targets over his most recent five games, and he could return to that sort of robust workload in…read more

Makes first post-surgery practice
Taylor (thumb) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: The Colts listed Taylor as a full participant on their second straight practice report, though Wednesday's was merely an estimate after the team held a walk-through session to kick off Week 16 prep. Taylor had missed each of Indianapolis' last three games while recovering from Nov. 29 surgery to repair a ligament tear in his right thumb, and while the running back wouldn't formally confirm Thursday that he'll return to action Sunday in Atlanta, all signs point to him playing following the full…read more

Estimated as full participant
Taylor (thumb) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Taylor's "full" listing Wednesday -- albeit for what was a walk-through session -- has the running back trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Falcons. If Taylor -- who last suited up in Week 12 -- is able to maintain full participation Thursday and Friday, he'll even have a chance to approach Sunday's game minus an injury designation. Meanwhile, Zack Moss was deemed a non-participant Wednesday due to a forearm injury and looks to be in a worse spot on the health front after he…read more

Progressing well
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Taylor (thumb) is progressing well as Sunday's game against the Falcons approaches, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Taylor is expected to participate in Wednesday's walk-through session and has a chance to put an end to his three-game absence this weekend in Atlanta. Before making a decision on Taylor's status for the Week 16 contest, the Colts will evaluate him in practices Wednesday through Friday. Meanwhile, Zack Moss -- who has been filling in as the lead back while Taylor has been sidelined, is tending to a shoulder injury that could affect his availability for Sunday.

Week 16 return possible
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Taylor (thumb) is "feeling good" and could be back in action for the team's Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "We'll see how the week goes," Steichen said.
Analysis: While continuing his recovery from Nov. 29 surgery on his right thumb, Taylor remained sidelined for Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, marking the running back's third consecutive absence. The Colts will begin Week 16 prep Wednesday, which will mark three weeks following Taylor's thumb procedure. The team is expected to hold a walk-through session that day, but if Taylor is able to practice in some fashion Thursday and/or Friday, he could get the green light to return to the lineup next…read more

Could be back in Week 16
The Colts have optimism that Taylor (thumb) could return to action for the team's Week 16 game Dec. 24 against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Taylor has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Steelers, but Rapoport notes that it's possible the running back returns to action Week 16 following a three-game absence. Added context on that front will arrive once the Colts begin posting injury reports next week, but in the meantime, Zack Moss will continue to lead the team's backfield versus Pittsburgh.

Coach Shane Steichen relayed Thursday that Taylor (thumb) won't play Saturday against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Remains absent from practice
Taylor (thumb) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Taylor having taken part in none of the Colts' three practice sessions this week, the running back is trending toward being ruled out for Saturday's game against the Steelers when Indianapolis releases its final Week 15 injury report later Thursday. If that's the case, Zack Moss would be in line to lead the Indianapolis backfield this weekend, likely in a three-down role.

Not practicing Wednesday
Taylor (thumb) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Taylor, who was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated report, has one more opportunity to practice ahead of Saturday's game against the Steelers, though the prevailing expectation remains that the running back will miss a third straight contest this weekend. If that's the case, Zack Moss would continue to lead the Colts' rushing attack.

Taylor's continued absence from practice supports the notion that he won't be available to play this Saturday, setting Zack Moss up for another turn as the Colts' lead back.

No update on Week 15 status
Head coach Shane Steichen said that the Colts will see how Taylor progresses in his recovery from right thumb surgery throughout the week before making a determination on his status for Saturday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Though Steichen isn't definitively ruling Taylor out, the expectation remains that the running back won't be cleared to practice this week and will miss a third consecutive game after he underwent surgery Nov. 29. At the time Taylor had his surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the 24-year-old was facing a recovery timeline of around 3-5 weeks, and Steichen added Tuesday that the Colts are still planning for Taylor to play again at some point this season.

Officially out for Week 14
Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Friday that Taylor (thumb) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: As expected, Taylor will miss his second straight game after he failed to practice in any fashion this week while he continues his recovery from right thumb surgery. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Colts are bracing for a 3-to-5-week absence for Taylor, so the standout running back may be unlikely to make it back for Indianapolis' Week 15 matchup with the Steelers on Dec. 16. Zack Moss should handle a three-down role out of the Colts backfield for the duration of Taylor's absence.

Sits out Wednesday's practice
Taylor (thumb) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Taylor is unlikely to practice or play this week, after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday that the running back was likely facing a 3-to-5-week recovery after undergoing thumb surgery Nov. 29. Zack Moss likely will get a large workload this Sunday against the Bengals after playing 94 percent of the snaps on offense in an overtime win over the Titans in Week 13.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen declined to provide an update on Taylor's (thumb) status Wednesday and was non-committal on the running back's availability for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Taylor underwent surgery on his right thumb last week, with Colts owner Jim Irsay estimating that the running back would miss two or three games. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network later filed a report Sunday suggesting that Taylor could miss closer to 3-to-5 weeks, which may leave Zack Moss as Indianapolis' lead back throughout the fantasy playoffs.

Facing 3-to-5-week recovery
Taylor is expected to require 3-to-5 weeks to recover from the right thumb surgery he underwent Wednesday in Los Angeles, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: The estimated recovery timeline provided by Rapoport differs slightly from the one Colts owner Jim Irsay initially offered up Tuesday, when he said the star running back would be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Because it's not a given that Taylor will need to miss at least four games while recovering from the procedure, the Colts will hold off on placing him on injured reserve with the hope that he'll be ready to play Week 16 in Atlanta or possibly even…read more

Analysis: Head coach Shane Steichen noted earlier this week that he doesn't have a timetable for when Taylor might return from a thumb procedure, but at this stage, a stint on injured reserve doesn't appear to be in the cards for the running back. For the duration of his absence, Zack Moss -- who filled in for Taylor earlier this season when he was on the reserve/PUP list due to an ankle injury -- is slated to lead the teams' backfield, with Trey Sermon in reserve.

Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Taylor will undergo surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday to address a right thumb injury sustained in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Steichen isn't sure how much time Taylor will miss, though the coach said that a stint on injured reserve isn't being considered for the running back at this stage. In any case, look for the Colts to officially rule Taylor out for Sunday's game against the Titans once the team's final Week 13 injury report is released Friday.

Scores twice in Week 12 win
Taylor rushed 15 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in the passing game during the Colts' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor's yardage total was his second highest of the season, and his final line marked his first time in three games averaging over 4.0 yards per carry. The fourth-year pro punched in his third and fourth touchdowns of the campaign on four- and one-yard runs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Although his blanking through the air for the first time this season was a disappointment, Taylor's ability to produce in that area isn't in question. The talented back next faces a tough…read more

Scores in second straight
Taylor rushed the ball 23 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Patriots. He added one catch for six yards.
Analysis: Taylor got his work done early, as he accounted for nine carries, 30 yards and his touchdown on the Colts' first offensive possession. Though he was held in check thereafter, Taylor saw a season-high 24 touches, while Zack Moss had just one. That bodes well for his production to close the season, though the Colts are now heading into their bye and will face tough matchups on the ground against the Buccaneers and Titans in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively.

Finds end zone in Carolina
Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 47 yards and caught all five of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The rushing yards total was his lowest since Week 6, but Taylor made an impact as a receiver instead, taking a screen pass from Gardner Minshew 10 yards for a TD in the second quarter. The running back has brought in at least three catches in three of his last four games, posting a 14-115-1 line on 17 targets over that stretch. Taylor should again be one of the focal points of the Colts' offense in Week 10 against a Patriots defense that's given up a touchdown to a RB in three straight contests.

Another encouraging effort in loss
Taylor rushed 12 times for 95 yards and brought in one of two targets for two yards in the Colts' 38-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor put together an impressive performance on the ground for the second straight week, but he notably logged just one more carry than backfield mate Zack Moss, who also recorded the Colts' only rushing touchdown. Taylor also only had one carry in the second half. Taylor appears to be explosive following his offseason ankle surgery, but with Moss also remaining effective and a similarly proficient pass catcher, it appears the duo will continue to operate in a fairly even timeshare for the…read more

Totals 120 yards in split backfield
Taylor rushed the ball 18 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Browns. He added three receptions on four targets for 45 yards.
Analysis: Taylor split carries with Zack Moss evenly, similar to the workload split in Week 6. While that's a disappointing outcome for Taylor, his performance was excellent. His longest gain on the ground went for 24 yards, and he also chipped in lengthy gains of 20 and 19 yards as a receiver. Taylor supplemented his yardage total with a five-yard touchdown run to record his first score of the season.

Impressive as receiver in loss
Taylor rushed eight times for 19 yards and brought in five of six targets for 46 yards in the Colts' 37-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor was stymied throughout the day on the ground, with his longest run going for only five yards. However, a 40-yard reception helped salvage the star running back's fantasy line to an extent, and his final receiving yardage total served as his highest since Week 8 of the 2021 season. Taylor did see an uptick in touches from a Week 5 season debut in which he logged seven overall, and he notably recorded one more carry than backfield mate Zack Moss versus Jacksonville.

He had spent the first four weeks of the season on the PUP list due to an ankle injury and was signed to a three-year, $42 million extension shortly after being activated.

Limited in return
Taylor (ankle) carried the ball six times for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Titans. He added one reception for 16 yards.
Analysis: Taylor made his season debut after being activated from the PUP list, though he was eased back in his return. His longest gain on the ground went for only five yards, and his biggest contribution came as a pass catcher. Taylor's workload will undoubtedly tick up in future games, but Zack Moss has performed well as the lead back and could remain a part of the offensive gameplan more than previously expected.

Could split work with Moss in debut
Taylor (ankle), who was activated from the PUP list Saturday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans, could split snaps with Zack Moss in his season debut, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Shortly after being activated from the PUP list, Taylor came to terms with the Colts on a three-year, $42 million extension, so he'll be locked in as Indianapolis' feature back for the foreseeable future after the team had listened to trade pitches for the 24-year-old running back leading up to Week 1. Though Taylor will likely reclaim one of the heavier snap and touch counts in the NFL beginning in Week 6, the Colts could be inclined to ease him back into action while he plays his first game…read more

Gets three-year extension
Taylor (ankle), whom the Colts activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The deal puts Taylor among the top-three highest paid running backs in the NFL with $26 million coming in guarantees. It's a massive win for both sides after a tumultuous offseason that saw the talented fourth-year running back in a public battle for a pay raise. After being brought back from the PUP list and with a new contract in tow, Taylor will make his season debut Sunday against the Titans. Taylor had been dealing with a high-ankle sprain through large portions of the 2022 season and…read more

Ready for Sunday
Taylor (ankle) was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday. The running back does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Titans.
Analysis: It's hard to imagine the Colts activating Taylor off the PUP list and not playing the star running back immediately, but it's absolutely encouraging the fourth-year player does not carry an injury designation. The greater question is the exact workload Taylor will have coming off an ankle injury, and subsequent surgery, that has given him issues dating back to the middle of last season. The emergence of Zack Moss as a consistent option out of the backfield likely mitigates the need for Taylor…read more

Deemed questionable for Sunday
The Colts list Taylor (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Taylor was able to practice fully this week, but in order for the running back to play this weekend, the Colts must activate him from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Saturday's deadline to do so in advance of Week 5 action. Per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star when asked if Taylor would play Sunday, coach Shane Steichen said, "We'll see." The fact that Taylor has been deemed questionable by the team suggests that it's not a lock that he'll be activated to face Tennessee, but if he does…read more

Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Taylor had been listed as a full participant for the team's first Week 5 session Wednesday, when the Colts opened his 21-day evaluation window for a return from the PUP list.

Analysis: Indianapolis placed Taylor on its PUP list Aug. 29 after he missed time in camp while healing from January surgery on his right ankle. About a month before landing on the PUP list, Taylor put in a request to be moved elsewhere and was eventually granted permission to pursue a deal, but the Colts weren't able to find another team willing to meet their high asking price in a trade for the running back.

Whether any team is willing to give the Colts enough in return for the star running back to advance a deal is questionable, and Indianapolis is looking for some level of clarity in advance of Tuesday, when NFL franchises are required to cut their rosters down to 53 players.

Analysis: Taylor is scheduled to meet with doctors over the next day or two before Indianapolis decides on his status for the final three regular-season games, but with the 4-9-1 Colts on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs, there's little incentive to expose their franchise running back to further injury.

Sprains ankle, return up in air
Taylor has been diagnosed with a sprained right ankle following Sunday's 39-36 overtime loss at Minnesota, and while the injury isn't considered to be a major one, it's unclear whether or not he'll be able to suit up for any of the Colts' final three games of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Taylor made an early exit from Week 15 action with a right ankle injury that didn't allow him to return and contained him to one catch (on one target) for 13 yards. In his place, Zack Moss racked up 24 carries for 81 yards, and Deon Jackson notched 13 rushes for 55 yards and caught his only target for a one-yard score.

Combines for 103 yards on SNF
Taylor gained 82 yards on 21 carries and caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 54-19 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Taylor was unable to extend his touchdown streak to four games, but he still put up a solid fantasy line in spite of a negative game script. He may have been afforded more scoring opportunities had Matt Ryan and Indy's dismal passing attack not turned the ball over five times. Last year's rushing leader has produced a 192/861/4 line through 10 games; a far cry from the monster totals we witnessed from him in 2021, but still good enough to warrant RB1 status.

Taylor rushed 20 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 12 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Taylor had nearly as many rushing yards on six first-half carries (34) as Matt Ryan had passing yards on 13 attempts (36), and Taylor was responsible for 11 of those yards as well. The Colts went into the locker room trailing 16-3, but an 89-yard kickoff return to open the third quarter put them in scoring position, and Taylor capitalized with a two-yard touchdown.

Taylor ran for 84 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries against Philadelphia on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor added three catches for 10 yards on four targets but also lost a crucial fumble in the 17-16 loss. It initially looked like Taylor would run wild in this game, but after a strong opening drive, the Eagles mostly shut him down from that point. The Eagles doubtlessly paid extra attention to the run -- something they could do with impunity since Darius Slay and James Bradberry are so good at cornerback -- so Taylor was more imposing than the box score might imply at a glance.

Erupts in Week 10 win
Taylor carried the ball 22 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: After dealing with injuries that cost him three games over the prior five weeks and otherwise limited his production, Taylor appeared to be 100 percent healthy as he topped 100 rushing yards and got into the end zone for the first time since Week 1. Having Matt Ryan under center instead of Sam Ehlinger likely helped keep the Las Vegas defense from stacking the box against the run, but the entire Indy offense will face a much tougher opponent in Week 11 when the Eagles come to town.

Suiting up Week 10
Taylor (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders after practicing as a full participant Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: A sprained ankle and a subsequent aggravation have kept Taylor from playing in three of the Colts' last five games, but his ability to practice fully on consecutive days to close out Week 10 prep appears to put him in a good spot on the health front as Sunday's contest approaches. Taylor should reclaim his usual role as the Colts' lead back in his return to the lineup, and the team may not have the luxury of easing him back in with a lighter workload while top backup Deon Jackson (knee) is out…read more

Practices fully Thursday
Taylor (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Analysis: After being limited Wednesday, Taylor logged a full session Thursday, which sets the stage for the running back to return to action Sunday against the Raiders after being inactive Week 9. With Nyheim Hines now with the Bills, who will handle backup RB duties this weekend remains up in the air, given that Deon Jackson (knee) has missed two straight practices. With that in mind, Zack Moss could make his debut with the Colts this weekend, while Jake Funk and Jordan Wilkins are potential practice…read more

Returns to limited practice
Taylor (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Taylor was deemed a non-participant at practice last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Patriots, but his return to a limited session Wednesday suggests that the running back is trending in the right direction ahead of this weekend's game against the Raiders. Meanwhile, Deon Jackson -- who started in place of Taylor in Week 9 -- sat out the Colts' first practice of the week due to a knee issue.

Taylor (ankle) was present for Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Taylor didn't practice last week before being ruled out in advance of Sunday's loss to the Patriots, but his presence at Wednesday's session is a positive indicator for his status ahead of this weekend's contest versus the Raiders. The Colts will release their first official Week 10 injury report later Wednesday, when the extent of the running back's participation in practice will be clarified.

Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With Taylor unavailable, look for Deon Jackson to see an expanded workload Sunday, while Zack Moss could mix in along with Phillip Lindsay, who is likely to be elevated from the Colts' practice squad, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Also currently on the team's practice squad are D'Vonte Price and Jordan Wilkins. Taylor thus will target a potential return to action Week 10, when Indianapolis faces the Raiders.

Not spotted at Friday's practice
Taylor (ankle) is not present for the start of Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Taylor appears to be missing his third straight practice of the week, which doesn't bode well for his availability heading into a Sunday matchup on the road against New England. If Friday's official injury report rules Taylor out for Week 9, or even if he manages to suit up while limited, Deon Jackson and Zack Moss could stand to lead Indianapolis' backfield. Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins also would be candidates to come up from the practice squad.

Returns after injury scare
Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 76 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Taylor was briefly sidelined early in the game by an ankle injury, though he returned to the field to dominate work out of the Colts' backfield. He was held in check for the vast majority of the game, though he did manage a 27-yard rush late in the first quarter to set up the team's first score of the game. Though Taylor appears to have avoided serious injury, Nyheim Hines was used at the goal line early in the fourth quarter -- perhaps an indication that Taylor was not at full strength.…read more

Totals 85 yards in return
Taylor recorded 10 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 19-10 Week 7 loss to the Colts. He added seven receptions on eight targets for 27 yards.
Analysis: Taylor returned from a two-game absence to tally 85 total yards. While his rushing volume was limited by game script, Taylor still accounted for 10 of the team's 16 rushing attempts by running backs. He was able to make up some of his lost volume through the air, tallying a season best in targets, receptions and yards. While Taylor appeared to be relatively healthy, there may be some concern about his ability to produce moving forward given the poor state of the Indianapolis offense.

Analysis: With the Colts on a short week, Taylor will have some added recovery time ahead of the team's Oct. 16 game against the Jaguars.

Analysis: Taylor was listed as a non-participant on the Colts' estimated Week 5 practice report released Monday, and Reich's comments suggest he likely won't be on the field in any capacity Tuesday while he manages a sprained right ankle. The Colts haven't revealed the severity of Taylor's sprain, but the fact that all tests on the ankle have thus far returned negative suggests that a long-term absence isn't in play.

Workhorse role in Week 3 win
Taylor carried 21 times for 71 yards and brought in three of five targets for 20 yards in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor was frequently stymied by a tough Chiefs front, with his longest run of the day going for a modest 13 yards. Taylor's involvement in the passing game was a nice bonus, however, and the star back now has 13 targets through three games. The 2020 second-round pick does have two straight sub-100-yard games, but he looks as explosive as last season and draws a very favorable statistical matchup against the Titans' suspect run defense in a Week 4 home divisional clash.

Limited volume in blowout loss
Taylor carried the ball nine times for 54 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception for nine yards.
Analysis: Taylor was scripted out of making an impact in the loss, as the Colts ran only 48 offensive plays and Matt Ryan took to the air 30 times. Even with the limited opportunity, Taylor made a pair of splash gains, tallying two rushes of 21 yards. While Taylor was able to overcome the poor offensive environment around him in Week 1, the Colts have been lackluster with Matt Ryan at the helm early on, which could ultimately cost Taylor opportunity moving forward.

Reich made at least two comments this summer suggesting Hines will be more involved in the passing game than he was last year, but that's about the only negative for Taylor, who caught 36 passes as a rookie and 40 last season.

Set to reprise lead role
As training camp approaches, Taylor continues to head an Indianapolis backfield that also includes returnee Nyheim Hines and newcomer Phillip Lindsay, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Taylor thus is set to reprise his lead role this coming season, one that yielded a league-high 1,811 rushing yards to go along with 18 TDs on 322 carries in 17 games in 2021. The 23-year-old also chipped in 40 catches on 51 targets for 360 yards and two more scores in an effort that has his name currently atop most 2022 fantasy draft boards.

Taylor recorded 15 rushes for 77 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on four targets for 18 yards.
Analysis: As expected, Taylor worked efficiently against Jacksonville's defense, an effort that was aided by runs of 23 and 13 yards. However, he was stuffed on fourth down multiple times, including once at the goal line at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Tops 100 yards, scores
Taylor recorded 20 rushes for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders. He added one reception for six yards.
Analysis: Taylor turned in a middling performance by his lofty standards, yet he still managed his 11th game of the season with more than 100 rushing yards. He ripped off several big gains to get to that mark, including rushes of 24 and 14 yards. Taylor also scored his 20th touchdown of the season on a one-yard plunge with only one second remaining in the first half. He'll close out the 2022 regular season with a matchup against Jacksonville, which sets him up for another very productive performance.

Taylor rushed 27 times for 108 yards and didn't haul in either of his targets during Saturday's 22-16 win at Arizona.

Another big performance
Taylor rushed 32 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns but lost a fumble in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Taylor scored on Indianapolis' opening drive in both halves, finding pay dirt from one and three yards out. Despite coughing the ball up, the tailback largely took advantage of a favorable matchup, tying his season high in carries as the Colts sealed a blowout victory. Although he wasn't targeted for the first time this term, Taylor put together his seventh outing with at least 100 rushing yards, topping 140 for the fourth time. With a touchdown in 10 straight games, Taylor will strive to keep…read more

Solid performance in tough matchup
Taylor rushed 16 times for 83 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 14 yards in the Colts' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Colts went with a pass-heavy approach for a good portion of the game against the Buccaneers' extremely tough run defense, but coach Frank Reich finally unleashed Taylor on the Colts' game-tying drive in the fourth quarter. The second-year back carried the ball eight times on the 10-play march, recording 58 yards, which included a four-yard rushing touchdown. Taylor also continued to enjoy a steady role in the passing game, albeit in not very efficient fashion in terms of yardage Sunday.…read more

Five total TDs in upset win
Taylor rushed 32 times for 185 yards and four touchdowns and brought in all three targets for 19 yards and another score in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Much like in Week 10 against the Jaguars, Taylor got off to a fast start by capping off the Colts' first drive with a three-yard touchdown run, but this time around, he was able to keep up his stellar production for all four quarters despite the extremely difficult matchup. Taylor finished off Indianapolis' next possession with another score, a nifty 23-yard catch and run that saw him deftly elude multiple defenders, and he went on to notch additional rushing touchdowns of one, two and 10…read more

Another 100-yard effort in win
Taylor rushed 21 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and secured six of eight targets for 10 yards in the Colts' 23-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Early on, Taylor appeared to be on his way to another prolific day versus a Jaguars squad he gained 275 yards against in two games last season. Taylor was featured heavily during a game-opening 10-play, 63-yard drive that culminated in a Michael Badgley field goal, and he did ultimately top 20 carries for the first time all season. However, the Jaguars defense was able to tighten up its work against the run to an extent as the game went on, yet not enough to prevent Taylor from recording his…read more

Rips off long TD in win
Taylor rushed 19 times for 172 yards and two touchdowns and secured both targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 45-30 win over the Jets on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Taylor snapped a 7-7 tie with an impressive 21-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, but he provided the splash play of the night with a 78-yard rumble down the right sideline in the latter portion of the third quarter in which he flashed his elite speed. The second-year back has now eclipsed the 100-yard mark in three of his last four games, and Thursday's pair of scores brought his touchdown tally over the last six games to eight. Taylor also continues to enjoy a steady role in the…read more

Strong all-around showing in loss
Taylor rushed 16 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and secured three of four targets for 52 yards in the Colts' 34-31 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also fell on a Carson Wentz fumble.
Analysis: Taylor once again saw his carries capped firmly under 20, but he was efficient with his opportunities and topped off his overall production with a game-tying one-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. His receiving yardage tally was his second highest of the season, and he's now encouragingly supplemented his strong production on the ground with a quartet of three-catch totals in the last four games. Taylor will next look to exploit a vulnerable Jets…read more

Taylor (ribs) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Taylor was limited Wednesday, but he'll be a go Sunday against the Titans, who've allowed an average of 103.3 rushing yards per game to date. In the process, Indy's surging lead back will look to extend his scoring streak to five games and log his third straight 100-plus rushing yard effort.

Dealing with rib injury
Taylor listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report with an injury to his ribs.
Analysis: The Colts merely held a walk-through session, but the team estimates that Taylor would have been limited had it actually practiced. He may have gotten banged up during a busy second half in Sunday's 30-18 win over San Francisco, but the Indianapolis lead back should be ready for a key divisional matchup with Tennessee in Week 8.

Strong showing in road victory
Taylor rushed 18 times for 107 yards and a touchdown while catching all three targets for three yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Taylor did lose his first fumble through seven games this year, but all players were dealing with slippery conditions in Santa Clara on Sunday evening (seven total fumbles, four lost). The 22-year-old extended his touchdown streak to four games, and he has now accounted for six scores and 551 total yards from scrimmage over the last four weeks. While Taylor is undoubtedly trending in the right direction, his streak of soft matchups comes to a close in Week 8 when the Colts take on the Titans,…read more

Two TDs against Texans
Taylor rushed 14 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-3 win over Houston.
Analysis: Taylor powered in a four-yard touchdown in the third quarter to cap a drive that he started with an 83-yard run, then he scored again from 11 yards out in the fourth. He has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in each of his last three games, with at least one touchdown in each of those contests to boot. Taylor should continue to handle most of the touches in the Colts' backfield against the 49ers in Week 7.

Taylor rushed 15 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught three of four targets for 116 yards and another score in Monday night's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Taylor dropped his first target of the night, but he then showed his open-field explosiveness by taking a simple swing pass 76 yards for a touchdown on 3rd-and-15 the very next play. The tailback later put together a pair of impressive runs following a Ravens fumble in the second half, ultimately capping that drive with a four-yard touchdown rush, his first of this season.

Eclipses century mark in win
Taylor (knee) rushed 16 times for 103 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 11 yards in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor overcame his questionable designation to generate his best fantasy effort of the young season, highlighting his day with a 38-yard run and a 23-yard scoring scamper in the first quarter for the Colts' first points of the day. The matchup against the Dolphins' run defense was an exploitable one, but Taylor's fantasy managers undoubtedly were relieved to see him deliver, despite yet another relatively capped workload.

Taylor (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Taylor, who was dealing what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network describes as a little fluid build-up in his knee, will give it a go Sunday, as expected. Assuming no in-game setbacks, he's in line to continue to lead Indy's rushing attack versus Miami, with change-of-pace back Nyheim Hines on hand to spell Taylor should the Colts elect to manage his reps at all. Meanwhile, Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins are also in the team's Week 4 backfield mix.

Taylor (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Rapoport, the running back, who was limited at practice this past week, was dealing with a little fluid buildup in his knee. Fortunately, the issue doesn't look like it will stop Taylor from playing in Sunday's contest.

Analysis: The Colts already have ruled out five players for the contest, with Taylor one of four players listed by the team as questionable. Given that he practiced all week, albeit as a limited participant, we suspect that he's trending toward Week 4 availability, but the running back's status nonetheless should be monitored as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches.

Taylor was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
Analysis: The ability to practice in any capacity suggests Taylor has a good chance to play Sunday against the Dolphins, though he may have gotten banged up in the Week 3 loss to Tennessee. With Marlon Mack reportedly requesting a trade, the Colts will continue to split backfield work between Taylor and Nyheim Hines, who has 16 carries and 16 targets through three games. Taylor has 42 carries and 11 targets but still hasn't scored a touchdown.

Touchdown drought continues
Taylor rushed 10 times for 64 yards and caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 25-16 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Taylor's season-low tally of 11 touches actually matched that of backup Nyheim Hines, who totaled 79 yards from his workload. Although, as usual, much of Hines' production came in the passing game, he still vultured a nine-yard touchdown rush from Taylor in the second quarter. Through three games, Taylor is yet to find the end zone, so despite his improved efficiency on the ground Sunday, the tailback will strive to put it all together while helping the Colts to their first win in Week 4 versus…read more

Taylor rushed 15 times for 51 yards and secured his only target for two yards in the Colts' 27-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Taylor ceded a total of six carries to Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines, leaving with what's arguably a disappointing tally for the second time in as many games to open the season. The second-year pro had 17 totes in a Week 1 loss to the Seahawks as well, and his pedestrian average of 3.4 yards per carry Sunday only added to the disillusionment of Taylor's fantasy managers.

Taylor rushed 17 times for 56 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 60 yards in the Colts' 28-16 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: As his final line indicates, Taylor found running room mostly to be at a premium against a stingy Seahawks front. However, his reception tally drew even with that of backfield mate Nyheim Hines', while his receiving yardage total paced Indianapolis. In particular, Taylor's overall usage was encouraging, considering Hines' relatively robust workload of nine carries largely was a byproduct of game script, and Taylor was just as involved as a receiver as his teammate.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Taylor isn't expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Panthers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There's little reason for coach Frank Reich to put the engine of the Colts offense in danger in the team's very first exhibition, especially with jockeying taking place for spots on the depth chart behind Taylor. It's unclear if veteran running back Marlon Mack will join Taylor, but with Nyheim Hines (leg) tending to an injury Indy may ride Jordan Wilkins, Benny LeMay, Deon Jackson and Darius Anderson out of the backfield Sunday.

Questions remain about workload
Taylor is expected to remain the primary running back for the Colts in 2021, though head coach Frank Reich still plans to ride the hot hand among Taylor, Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines while also distributing the backfield work based on matchups, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Keefer speculates that Taylor will get 60 percent of the carries, with Mack checking in at around 25 percent. Much depends on Mack's health, as he's returning from a ruptured right Achilles' tendon. While Reich's comments could just be a matter of coach speak to keep all the backs on the roster motivated, there's a chance Taylor won't get the workload some might expect after he came on strong at the end of his rookie season. Over his final six games, Taylor amassed 741 rushing yards and seven…read more

Taylor rushed 21 times for 78 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-24 wild-card round loss to the Bills. He added two catches for six yards on four targets.
Analysis: Taylor gave the Colts a 10-7 lead with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter but lost three yards on a dubious 3rd-and-goal toss play from the one-yard line later in the quarter on a drive that ended without points following an incomplete pass on the ensuing play. The rookie second-round pick established himself as the Colts' clear lead back down the stretch, and Taylor is positioned to finish among the league's rushing leaders next season if he can maintain that role while running…read more

Taylor rushed 30 times for 253 yards and two touchdowns and brought in one of two targets for one yard in the Colts' 28-14 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: As his final numbers imply, Taylor consistently terrorized the Jaguars defense, ripping off a game-long 56-yard run on his second carry of the day and subsequently notching touchdowns of one and 45 yards in the second and fourth quarter, respectively.

Taylor carried 18 times for 74 yards and two touchdowns while failing to bring in his lone target during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Taylor averaged a respectable 4.1 yards per carry against a tough defensive unit while adding a pair of short touchdown runs in the first half. He was uncharacteristically quiet as a pass catcher, which capped his overall production, but his five touchdowns in the last three games are surely keeping fantasy managers happy. Taylor now has 11 total touchdowns on the season and will look to finish the regular season on a high note in next Sunday's inviting matchup with the Jaguars.

Analysis: Taylor gashed the Las Vegas run defense for 7.5 yards per carry as he easily set a new career high in rushing yardage. His 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter was also his longest run of the season, and he later added a three-yard score for his first multi-touchdown game. Taylor came into this game in great form and will look to feast again next Sunday against a Texans defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in virtually every category related to stopping opposing running backs.

Analysis: Taylor once again struggled to get anything going on the ground, and he notably checked in third in carries behind Nyheim Hines (12) and Jordan Wilkins (eight). The rookie committed a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the Week 9 loss to the Ravens, so his continued diminished role Thursday may be partly attributable to that miscue.

Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Taylor has "a bit of an ankle injury" following Sunday's win over the Lions, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Perhaps this helps explain Sunday's lackluster performance, as the rookie second-round pick averaged just 2.0 yards per carry and finished with 31 total yards on 13 touches. Still, Reich explained that he learned about Taylor's injury after the game, so it appears that the decision to give Jordan Wilkins more touches (21) than Taylor was based on performance, as Wilkins was more productive with 4.5 yards per carry and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, the running game was limited as Cleveland raced out to a big lead in the third quarter and he wasn't used much as a pass catcher. Still, it was something of an encouraging sign that Taylor managed respectable fantasy production in the face of adversity. He could bounce back in a big way in next Sunday's matchup with…read more

Earns 17 carries
Taylor rushed the ball 17 times for 68 yards in Week 4 against Chicago. He added one reception for 11 yards.
Analysis: Taylor was once again the lead back for the Colts, working ahead of both Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. While his longest rush of the game was 16 yards, he managed additional chunk gains of 11 and 12 yards. He was unable to put together a huge performance due to the Colts' inability to reach the end zone but has now racked up at least 14 touches in each game since Week 2 in Marlon Mack's (Achilles) absence. He'll face a tough defensive front in Week 5 in a matchup against the Browns.

Scores TD in quiet day
Taylor carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and caught his only pass for three yards in Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Despite the lopsided final score, Taylor didn't get a lot of work down the stretch as Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines got 16 carries and five receptions between them. Still, the rookie's third-quarter TD salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective. Assuming it's a more competitive contest, Taylor could be more involved, and more productive, in Week 4 against a Bears defense that just gave up 148 rushing yards and two TDs to the Atlanta backfield.

Finds end zone as feature back
Taylor carried 26 times for 101 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Vikings. He also caught both his targets for nine additional yards in the 28-11 win.
Analysis: Taylor stepped in for the injured Marlon Mack (Achilles) and churned out 110 scrimmage yards against a respectable defense, though his average of 3.9 yards per carry was a bit lackluster. He scored his first career rushing touchdown on a five-yard carry in the second quarter and helped his team control the game after jumping out to a big lead in the second half. Taylor should see a similar workload next Sunday against the Jets and should be considered an ascending fantasy option heading into a…read more

Confirmed as starter
With Marlon Mack having ruptured his Achilles, coach Frank Reich confirmed Monday that Taylor "will step into the starting" running back role for the Colts, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: "He's ready," Reich said of the rookie second-rounder, while adding that Nyheim Hines "will still be a big part of the offense" and that Jordan Wilkins will also be in the mix. In any case, instead of being part of a one-two punch with Mack atop the team's backfield depth chart as originally planned, Taylor is now the team's clear lead back going forward, a role that greatly boosts the Wisconsin product's fantasy value, beginning this coming weekend against the Vikings.

Moves atop depth chart
The Colts confirmed Marlon Mack's season-ending Achilles tear Monday, putting Taylor in position for an expanded role going forward, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rather than beginning his career in a three-headed backfield by committee, Taylor now looks to be in prime position to emerge as Indianapolis' lead ball carrier, with Nyheim Hines handling a change-of-pace role. Taylor logged nine carries for 22 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars while also adding six catches for 67 yards. The rookie second-round pick's explosive early down profile wasn't perfectly suited to a Week 1 tilt in which the Colts were forced to play catch-up, but he'll have a…read more

Busy in receiving game
Taylor tallied nine rushes for 22 yards in the team's Week 1 contest against the Jaguars. He also added six receptions for 67 yards.
Analysis: Taylor took over an expanded role with Marlon Mack's exit (Achilles), particularly as a receiver. He finished second on the team in receiving yards, as the Colts tried to play catch-up against the Jaguars. While Taylor didn't accomplish much on the ground, he should have the chance to improve in terms of both volume and efficiency moving forward. He's in line to take over a lead-back role in Week 2 against the Vikings.

Expanded role likely
With fears that Marlon Mack suffered a torn Achilles against the Jaguars on Sunday, Taylor's role in the Colts' ground game is likely to expand going forward, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Taylor, whom the Colts took in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 41st overall, had been slated to work in a time-share with Mack, while Nyheim Hines handled change-of-pace duties for the team. With Mack now likely to miss extended time, the promising Taylor's early down profile, and in turn, his fantasy upside, now appear destined to increase.

Listed as No. 2 RB
Taylor is listed as the No. 2 running back on the Colts' initial unofficial depth chart. Marlon Mack is listed as the starter.
Analysis: While rookie Taylor has drawn rave reviews in training camp, head coach Frank Reich has said Mack is still viewed as the starter. Still, the Indy coaching staff has continued to say they view their backfield as a committee with both Mack and Taylor as a "one-two punch." Taylor will need to improve as a receiver to claim a larger share of the touches in the backfield, as he struggled at times with drops in college. He had mixed reports in training camp on his receiving abilities with some drops…read more

Drops two passes in scrimmage
Taylor had two dropped passes in Saturday's scrimmage, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: While Taylor has drawn raves in training camp, he'll need to improve as a receiver to claim a larger share of the touches in the backfield, where he's expected to split time with Marlon Mack. Taylor had issues with drops in college, so his 4-5 drops during training camp, according to Bowen, are a cause for concern.

Not viewed as starter just yet
Coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that he still views Marlon Mack as his starting running back, but Reich noted Taylor will have an opportunity to catch the "hot hand," Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: It would be unusual for an NFL coach to come out and say anything else when there's a rookie challenger to a starter with a solid track record. The atypical circumstances of 2020 seem to work in favor of veterans like Mack, but Taylor has both draft capital (41st overall) and physical talent (225 pounds, 4.39 40-yard dash time) working in his favor. Expect both players to see carries early in the season, with Nyheim Hines also mixing in for passing situations. The extent of Taylor's workload…read more

Viewed as 1-1 punch with Mack
Taylor and Marlon Mack are viewed not just as a 1-2 punch, but a "1-1 punch," in the Colts' offense, offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni told the team's official web site. "They have some different running styles, but again they're both complete backs. I think that's a fantastic problem to have, is to have two guys like that you can feed the football to. It's only going to help our running game," he said.
Analysis: The Colts selected Taylor in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft even with Mack coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season. Sirianni's comments echo head coach Frank Reich's from last week calling them a 1-2 punch, making it clear the Colts plan to split the workload at running back. However, neither coach's comments got into specifics on how playing time will be divided.
