Fantasy Outlook

The arrival of Daniel Jones proved a godsend for Taylor, with the improved quarterback play such a contrast to what Anthony Richardson had provided that it looked like Taylor was playing on a lower difficulty level. Though Taylor has always been highly successful for the Colts, that was often the case in spite of the offense around him. If Taylor were ever truly empowered by a surrounding offense, he might enjoy the kind of glow-up that Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley got after leaving their original NFL teams. Unfortunately for Taylor and the Colts, Jones was made less effective by a fibula fracture mid-season, before suffering an Achilles' tendon tear Dec. 7 while playing through the first injury. Great as Taylor's final numbers were -- 20 touchdowns (18 rushing) and career-high receiving stats -- the season was still largely a tale of before and after Jones' injuries. Taylor averaged an ordinary 12.9 PPR points after a Week 11 bye, losing more than half of his production compared to a league-high 27.2 PPR points through the first 10 games. On pace for a 1,900-yard rushing season at one point, Taylor instead finished with 1,585 yards on the ground. He still has the stuff to pull off a 2,000-yard campaign in the right circumstances, but he'll never catch as many passes as other top RBs, instead relying on rushing yardage and TDs for fantasy production. It'll be a lot easier for Taylor to live up to his first-round ADP if Jones comes back healthy and effective, though there's also reason to question Jones' pre-2025 track record (medical and otherwise).
