Jonathan Taylor

Jonathan Taylor rushed 11 times for 35 yards in the Colts’ Week 12 loss to the Lions.

Taylor was not targeted in the passing game for the first time since Week 1, and now has one catch for three yards in two games since Anthony Richardson’s return. This afternoon was also his second straight rushing dud with Richardson back in the fold, though today’s came on 13 fewer carries. Taylor got out-gained 61-35 by Richardson on the ground. Instead of Richardson opening up rushing lanes for his running back, the negative case seems to be coming to fruition, with Richardson stalling drives and making the Colts’ offense too predictable. It’s conspiring to make Taylor more of an RB2 than RB1, though the Patriots are a tantalizing Week 13 matchup, one much better than the Lions.
