    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Stifled by Steelers in Week 5 loss

    Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 15 times for 45 yards and caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-22 loss to Pittsburgh.The Steelers were able to keep Taylor from hurting them, and most of the star RB's yardage came on a 24-yard pass from Daniel Jones in the second quarter and a 20-yard run in the fourth, the latter of which helped set up the fifth of Spencer Shrader's five field goals on the afternoon. It's the second time in the last three games that Taylor has fallen short of 90 scrimmage yards, as defenses crowd the box and focus on stopping him while daring the Indianapolis Colts' depleted WR room to beat them over the top. Taylor should be able to find a little more success in Week 6 against the winless Titans.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Finds end zone twice in London

    Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 20 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders. He also caught one of four targets for two yards.Both scores came from five yards out in the second and third quarters, as the Indianapolis Colts went with a ground-heavy offense once Marcus Mariota (knee) was knocked out of the game in London, forcing the Commanders to turn to third-string QB Athan Kaliakmanis, a seventh-round rookie. Taylor has six rushing TDs through four games along with 422 scrimmage yards, and he figures to see a hefty workload again on the road in Week 5 against the Steelers.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Turns 25 touches into 72 yards

    Jonathan Taylor rushed 23 times for 68 yards while catching two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.Taylor racked up 25 touches as the Indianapolis Colts notched their first win of the season, but he failed to find much running room against Houston's stout front. He finished with a season-low 72 scrimmage yards and failed to score after opening the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances. The workhorse running back is averaging 25 touches per game heading into the Colts' Week 4 trip to London to take on the Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Taylor's poised for another busy outing in the overseas clash between 1-2 teams.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Another multi-TD outing in Week 2

    Jonathan Taylor rushed 24 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.Taylor has started the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances on the ground after leading the league with 18 rushing touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. The star running back broke free for a 24-yard rushing touchdown with 59 seconds left in the first half before adding a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 27-27. Taylor is the focal point of Indianapolis' offense, and that's unlikely to change in Week 3, even with Houston's stout front seven coming to town.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Strong numbers in lopsided loss

    Jonathan Taylor rushed 19 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 23 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Taylor and the Colts' offense as a whole got the new season off to a highly encouraging start, capping off a crisp opening drive with the star running back's one-yard touchdown run. Taylor would go on to add a three-yard scoring rush late in the first half after the Ravens had gone on to rattle off 28 straight points, with Taylor's fumble after a 14-yard reception leading to one of Baltimore's touchdowns. Outside of the turnover, Taylor's overall numbers in a game during which his rushing opportunities were capped late were still useful for fantasy managers, and he'll be slated for another prominent role in a Week 2 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Held out of preseason finale

    Jonathan Taylor was rested for the Indianapolis Colts' 25-16 loss to the Lions in Saturday's preseason finale.Prior to the game, head coach Shane Steichen said that he planned on having all of the team's offensive starters minus Taylor and quarterback Daniel Jones take the field for 8-to-12 snaps, per JJ Stankevicz of the Colts' official site. Taylor didn't play in the prior two preseason contests either, as the Colts didn't want to risk an injury to their lead back in advance of the regular season. After missing at least three games every season from 2022 through 2024, the 27-year-old played a full 17-game slate in 2025, playing north of 70 percent of the offensive snaps in all but one of those contests while accounting for 20 touchdowns, amassing 1,585 yards on the ground and setting career highs with 46 receptions and 378 receiving yards. He'll be primed for another hefty workload in 2026, and the Colts are hopeful that Jones' return from a torn ACL can help Taylor avoid the decline in efficiency that he experienced after the Colts' Week 11 bye last season (3.3 yards per carry in his final seven games).

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Rested in preseason opener

    Jonathan Taylor was among the Indianapolis Colts' key skill players who didn't see action in Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots.Taylor, who agreed to terms on a two-year, $44 million contract extension on Aug. 6, is slated to continue to work in a high-volume role as the clear-cut top option in Indy's backfield, with DJ Giddens (hamstring) Seth McGowan in contention for slotting behind him. Taylor's next chance to see game action is Aug. 22 against the Falcons, but even if he does end up suiting up for either of the team's remaining exhibition games, his snap count would presumably be light.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Lands two-year extension with Colts

    Jonathan Taylor agreed to terms Thursday with the Indianapolis Colts on a two-year, $44 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Schefter relays that the deal is worth up to $47 million and includes $39 million guaranteed. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Taylor's new deal is the largest-ever third contract for an NFL running back, setting the stage for the 27-year-old to continue working as the undisputed lead option in a Colts backfield that also includes DJ Giddens, Seth McGowan, Ulysses Bentley, Anderson Castle and Roydell Williams. With both Taylor and Bijan Robinson now having landed extensions, attention turns to Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, another top-tier running back looking for a lucrative new pact ahead of Week 1.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Optimistic regarding contract

    Jonathan Taylor participated in Wednesday's practice, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.Taylor, who is approaching the final season of his contract, indicated during the spring that he wants "to be a Colt for life," and per Stephen Holder of ESPN.com, the running back noted Wednesday that "there's been some good conversations" and that he has faith in the team coming through with a new deal for him. Following a 2025 regular season in which he recorded 323 carries for 1,585 yards and 18 touchdowns in 17 games while adding a 46/378/2 receiving line, the 2020 second-rounder retains his fantasy-friendly role as the undisputed lead option in an Indianapolis RB corps that also currently includes DJ Giddens, Seth McGowan, Ulysses Bentley and Anderson Castle.

    Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Ready for contract year

    Jonathan Taylor is entering the final season of his contract and said during the spring that he wants "to be a Colt for life," James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Taylor remains the clear centerpiece of Indianapolis' offense after handling 323 carries for 1,585 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2025. Though there is some uncertainty about Taylor's future with the Indianapolis Colts beyond 2026, the contract situation shouldn't interfere with his short-term fantasy profile, as the team has every reason to continue leaning on one of the league's few true workhorse backs while Daniel Jones (Achilles) works back to 100 percent form. Another high-volume season would keep Taylor firmly in the RB1 mix while strengthening his case for a new deal with Indianapolis, or a strong market as a free agent in 2027. Boyd also speculates that Taylor could hold in at training camp and work to negotiate an extension before the 2026 regular season.
