Jonathan Taylor Going On Injured Reserve
The Indianapolis Colts are placing running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a high-ankle sprain, according to a league source. He'll miss the final three games of the regular season. In a corresponding move, the Colts promoted running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad to the active roster. As the No. 1 overall pick in most fantasy drafts in 2022, Taylor was a bust this year, finishing with 861 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 192 carries while also catching 28 passes for an additional 143 yards in just 11 games. The 23-year-old's fantasy stock will take a hit going into 2023, but he could easily bounce back if the Colts fix their QB situation and offensive-line issues. In the final three games, Zack Moss and Deon Jackson should form a timeshare in Indy's backfield.
Dec 20, 2022 • 5:01 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Unlikely To Play Again This Season
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The organization did further testing and determined that Taylor has suffered a high-ankle sprain. That being said, the organization appears comfortable with shutting down Taylor for the rest of the season. It's a lost season for the Colts, so there is no reason for the team to rush back their franchise running back. He'll finish the season with 861 yards and four touchdowns, adding 28 receptions for 143 yards. It was a disappointing year for Taylor, but hopefully he can bounce back at full health next season. In the meantime, Deon Jackson and Zack Moss should split up the carries in the backfield for the last few games.
Dec 19, 2022 • 2:48 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Suffers Sprained Ankle
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was forced to exit early during the Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old injured his ankle on a 13-yard reception early in the first quarter. That ended up being his first and only touch of the entire contest. The Colts have done additional testing and determined that Taylor suffered a sprained ankle. There's a good chance that the four-win Colts decide to hold out Taylor for the rest of the regular season. Deon Jackson and Zack Moss will be asked to split up the backfield duties if Taylor does miss time.
Dec 17, 2022 • 11:46 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Will Not Return In Week 15
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of a Week 15 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Taylor injured his ankle early in the first quarter on a 13-yard reception, his first and only touch of the game. It was initially reported that he was questionable to return after heading to the locker room, but he was declared out soon after. This is devastating news for many fantasy managers in the first round of the playoffs. Deon Jackson and Zack Moss will likely split the work out of the Colts' backfield in Taylor's absence.
Dec 17, 2022 • 6:49 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Questionable To Return In Week 15
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is questionable to return to the team's Week 15 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Taylor sustained an ankle injury on his first touch of the game, a reception for 13 yards. He briefly went to the medical tent before walking to the locker room for further evaluation. While it's possible he returns, this has the potential to be a brutal loss for many fantasy managers in the first round of the playoffs. Deon Jackson and Zack Moss figure to split carries for as long as Taylor is out.
Dec 17, 2022 • 6:33 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Practicing In Full
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, which is good news for his availability in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor missed the Week 9 loss to the New England Patriots and has now missed three total games due to the injury. It looks like he's trending towards playing this weekend, but Taylor's fantasy value has fallen in a Colts offense now led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger. Deon Jackson (knee) served as the team's lead back in Week 9 with Taylor out, but he hasn't practice yet this week and is in danger of being inactive on Sunday. If Jackson cannot play, newly acquired Zack Moss could have a significant role as Taylor's backup.
Nov 10, 2022 • 10:01 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Practicing Again Thursday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is practicing for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Taylor was held out for the third time this year due to his ankle injury in Week 9 but appears to be on track to return for the Week 10 tilt against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. The 23-year-old second year back took the league by storm in his sophomore season, leading the NFL in yards (1,811), rushing touchdowns (18) and rushing yards per game (106.5), but he's been a bust as the first overall pick in most fantasy drafts in 2022. Taylor has 462 rushing yards and one TD on 107 carries in six games and is averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He's a must-start when active, but he's become more of a low-upside RB2 in a Colts offense that has been one of the worst in the league this year.
Nov 10, 2022 • 7:21 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Spotted At Wednesday's Practice
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle), who missed last week's game with an ankle injury, was spotted practicing on Wednesday. Taylor was officially listed as limited, but it's a great sign that he might be able to return in Week 10 to face the Las Vegas Raiders. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Taylor's practice status the rest of the week, but as long as he doesn't suffer a setback, he should at least be questionable for Sunday's tilt. Deon Jackson (knee), who served as Indy's lead back without Taylor in Week 9, missed practice on Wednesday. If Taylor and Jackson cannot play, Zack Moss could see significant work in his debut with the team, while Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins would also likely be involved. Taylor, the first overall pick in most fantasy drafts, has been a huge bust so far in 2022.
Nov 9, 2022 • 10:12 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Ruled Out For Week 9
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. He's being called week-to-week and since the Colts look to be building for the future and perhaps boosting its draft position, they likely won't play Taylor unless he's close to 100-percent moving forward. That said, Deon Jackson is the primary back while Taylor is out, especially since Nyheim Hines has been traded to the Buffalo Bills. Zack Moss came to the Colts in the deal, but he likely won't see a significant workload in his first game with the team. Jackson will face a tough matchup with the New England defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs thus far.
Nov 4, 2022 • 5:25 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Doubtful To Play In Week 9?
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) wasn't seen at the team's final practice on Friday, and The Athletic's Zak Keefer believes that it's doubtful Taylor will play in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Taylor hasn't practiced all week after aggravating an ankle sprain in Week 8 that has already cost him two games this year. The disappointing season for the first overall fantasy pick in most leagues will continue if he's unable to play this Sunday. Check back shortly for the 23-year-old's official injury designation. If he's doubtful or ruled out, Deon Jackson should see the majority of Indy's backfield work after the team just traded away Nyheim Hines. Zack Moss could also be involved, but he was just acquired in the Hines trade and may need to be eased in as he learns the offense.
Nov 4, 2022 • 4:33 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Missing Practice Again Thursday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday and also didn't practice on Wednesday. After tweaking his sprained ankle in the Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, Taylor is now in danger of missing his third game this year in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. The Colts traded away pass-catching back Nyheim Hines for power back Zack Moss this week, but if Taylor is out or limited this Sunday, it will likely be Deon Jackson seeing most of the backfield work for the Colts. Phillip Lindsay could be called up from the practice squad as well. Taylor is looking highly questionable for this week, and Jackson would be a plug-and-play flex option if Taylor is inactive.
Nov 3, 2022 • 6:02 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Won't Practice Wednesday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that caused him to miss two games already this year. Taylor briefly left the game last Sunday but eventually returned to finish with 16 carries for a very pedestrian 76 yards. The 23-year-old has been a massive disappointment as the first overall pick in most fantasy drafts, and he enters Week 9 as the RB33 in half-point PPR leagues. The fact that he was able to return to the game against Washington is a good sign, but Taylor clearly isn't 100 percent and fantasy managers need to keep an eye on his status heading into the weekend against the New England Patriots. With Nyheim Hines now in Buffalo, newly acquired Zack Moss and Deon Jackson would take over backfield duties if Taylor is limited or out.
Nov 2, 2022 • 4:29 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Twists Ankle Sunday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor suffered a twisted ankle in the narrow loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Taylor briefly exited the game before returning but turned in just 76 rushing yards on 16 carries and zero receptions on one target. The Colts are going to see how his ankle responds to practice this week, but either way, his fantasy outlook is looking darker by the week now that Sam Ehlinger has taken over as the Colts' starter. Taylor will likely play in one of the worst offenses in the league, so his touchdown upside is limited. He's still a must-start, but his floor is as low as it's ever been.
Oct 31, 2022 • 6:20 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Returns To Week 8
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to Sunday's meeting against the Commanders. He briefly exited with an ankle injury and was considered questionable to return. However, Taylor had his ankle re-taped and seems to have avoided anything serious, much to the delight of fantasy managers. Still, managers should monitor the injury heading into Week 9 versus the Patriots.
Oct 30, 2022 • 10:46 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Questionable To Return On Sunday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting against the Commanders. Taylor missed time already this season with the ankle injury, so there's a chance he won't be back for the rest of Week 8. He was having an efficient day before going down, amassing 38 yards off five touches for just over seven yards per carry. If he is ruled out, Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson will likely split time out of the backfield.
Oct 30, 2022 • 9:20 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Will Be Full-Go On Sunday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is back in action for the Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Frank Reich mentioned that Taylor is full-go and won't be limited at all in this contest. The 23-year-old should get a bulk of the carries with Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson rotated in as well. Taylor was taken as the No. 1 overall pick in many fantasy drafts this season. He has not lived up to those expectations through the first four games that he's played in. Regardless, fantasy managers need to make sure he's in their lineups for Sunday. He'll continue to have elite RB1 upside despite the recent struggles.
Oct 23, 2022 • 2:05 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Likely To Play Against Titans
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. In the matchup against the Titans in Week 4, Taylor was held to just 42 rushing yards and zero touchdowns on 20 attempts. However, he should be fresh after two weeks off, so he's a must-start once again if he plays. Tennessee is one of the toughest matchups for running backs, but again, he's a must-start in any matchup thanks to his workload and big-play ability. If Nyheim Hines (head) plays, he will likely take some of the passing-down work.
Oct 21, 2022 • 5:34 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Feeling Good This Week
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) said he's feeling pretty good ahead of a Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. As for Week 6 when he missed his second straight game due to a sprained ankle, Taylor said it was his decision to sit out. "You just know your body," Taylor said. The 23-year-old was limited in practice on Wednesday, so barring a setback to close out the week, he has a pretty good chance to return to action this weekend. Taylor, who was the first overall pick in most fantasy leagues this year, has disappointed to this point with 81 carries for 328 yards and one touchdown, adding nine catches for 44 yards. But if he's active against the Titans on Sunday, he's a must-start for fantasy lineups.
Oct 20, 2022 • 4:32 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines Questionable
Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) are both officially listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The good news for Taylor is that he was able to put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, giving him a chance to return after sitting out last Thursday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos with a sprained right ankle. Hines got in a full practice on Friday and is close to passing through the league's concussion protocol. Fantasy managers will know early on Sunday whether Taylor and Hines are active. If Taylor is active, he's a must-start RB1 for fantasy managers, but if he misses another contest, the Colts could roll with a committee approach with Deon Jackson, Phillip Lindsay and Hines if he's active.
Oct 14, 2022 • 10:06 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Will Practice Thursday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will return to practice on Thursday, according to a source. The All-Pro running back was held out of practice on Wednesday and didn't play in last Thursday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos, but he has a chance to return this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nyheim Hines (concussion) is also questionable to play this weekend after leaving the Week 5 game early with a concussion, so Indy's backfield is in flux right now. With Taylor out and Hines injured last Thursday, Phillip Lindsay and Deon Jackson split the backfield duties. We'll have a better idea about Taylor's status for Week 6 on Friday, but fantasy managers should consider him questionable right now.
Oct 13, 2022 • 4:30 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Misses Practice On Wednesday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice with the team on Wednesday and was seen doing rehab work off to the side. Taylor was sidelined last week due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 4. Fantasy managers will need to monitor practice reports throughout the week to see if Taylor has a chance to suit up on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Nyheim Hines (concussion) listed as a limited practice participant and Phillip Lindsay (undisclosed) not present, Deon Jackson could be a worthwhile stash as the next man up.
Oct 12, 2022 • 10:24 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Working Off To The Side
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is rehabbing off to the side during Wednesday's practice, while Nyheim Hines (concussion) is in a red non-contact jersey. Taylor initially wasn't spotted at practice, but he ended up doing some light jogging off to the side. There's a good chance the 23-year-old will be listed as a DNP on the official practice report, so he remains very questionable to play in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing last Thursday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos. With Hines in the league's concussion protocol, it would be Phillip Lindsay and Deon Jackson splitting Indy's backfield this Sunday against the Jaguars if Taylor is unable to play. Continue to monitor his status to close out the week.
Oct 12, 2022 • 7:43 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Could Return In Week 6
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) doesn't seem to be dealing with a major injury, as head coach Frank Reich said the team is optimistic about his chances to play in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor has struggled mightily in his last two games, but even in what is one of the worst offenses in the league, he's a must-start as soon as he returns to the lineup. With Nyheim Hines (concussion) banged up, Taylor could even see more passing work if Hines has to miss any action moving forward. If the Colts' offense can get on track at any point this season, his ceiling will be back to the overall RB1 each week.
Oct 7, 2022 • 5:51 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Ruled Out For Week 5 Matchup
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will not play in Thursday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos. The star running back suffered an ankle injury late in the Colts' 24-17 Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans. While the third-year back hoped to play this week, the quick turnaround proved to be a problem. Without Taylor, the Colts will rely on a combination of Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay. Of the three, Hines has the most fantasy appeal, especially in PPR leagues. However, the matchup against Denver makes all three risky options, at best. Fantasy managers should instead look for another alternative to replace Taylor this week.
Oct 5, 2022 • 5:44 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Hoping To Play Thursday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) told reporters that he is hoping to play through a sprained right ankle in Thursday night's game against the Denver Broncos. Taylor twisted his ankle in a Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans and has been "rehabbing furiously" since the injury in attempts to get on the field for Thursday. "I definitely do plan to play, but if you can't go, you can't go," he told reporters on Tuesday. Taylor has not participated in either of his team's two practices this week. If Taylor does ultimately suit up, then he should be in fantasy lineups. If he sits, look for a combination of Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson, and Phillip Lindsay to split the backfield.
Oct 5, 2022 • 1:04 AM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Watching Tuesday's Walkthrough
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was spotted watching Tuesday's walkthrough with a boot on his right foot as he continues to deal with an ankle sprain he suffered in Week 4. The Colts take on the Broncos on Thursday night, so Taylor's chances of playing on a short week seem to be less likely, but the Colts' coaching staff remains hopeful their stud running back can suit up. If he is to be held out of action, Nyheim Hines would be the most appealing option in the Colts' backfield, but we would likely be seeing a three-man committee that includes Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay.
Oct 4, 2022 • 6:14 PM | RotoBallerColts Hope Jonathan Taylor Can Play Thursday
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that the team hopes running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) can play in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football after he suffered a sprained right ankle in the Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Colts initially feared that Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain, which almost certainly would have sidelined him this week and beyond, but his injury isn't as serious as initially believed and there's still a chance he could play on Thursday despite being listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Taylor had over 100 yards rushing and a TD in Week 1, but he's been a disappointment since. He could be in danger of seeing limited snaps if he's active on Thursday against Denver. If he's out or limited, Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay could form a committee backfield.
Oct 4, 2022 • 4:40 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Has A Chance To Play Thursday
Tests on Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) came back negative on Monday and he has a chance to play on Thursday night in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, according to a source. The team initially feared that Taylor had suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans, but it's now looking like he may have avoided a long-term injury. He was listed as DNP on the team's estimated practice report on Monday, and fantasy managers will have to keep a close eye on his status over the next couple of days. Even if Taylor is active, he could see fewer snaps, which would make him an extremely risky RB1. If Taylor is inactive this week, Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson would share backfield duties, with Phillip Lindsay likely being added to the active roster as additional depth.
Oct 3, 2022 • 11:02 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Injury Believed To Be Minor
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was believed to have possibly suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's contest. Luckily, the tests are coming back and the organization doesn't believe this is a long term issue. He could still miss time, but hopefully it won't be anything significant. He rushed 20 times for 42 yards during the Week 4 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to suit up for Thursday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. Otherwise, Nyheim Hines could be seeing an increased workload.
Oct 3, 2022 • 12:27 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor To Undergo Further Testing
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 4 loss to the Titans. Per The Athletic's Zak Keefer, the Colts fear Taylor is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, which almost certainly would sideline him for the Thursday night game in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos and possibly longer. Before going down, Taylor received 20 carries on the day. However, he only had 42 yards to show for his efforts. Fantasy managers need to keep an eye on this situation, primarily since the Colts have a quick turnaround before heading to Denver for a Thursday Night Football showdown versus the Broncos. If Taylor can't suit up for that one, Nyheim Hines will be the No. 1 option on the depth chart. Deon Jackson, who has just two carries this season, may also get involved, although managers shouldn't look in his direction.
Oct 2, 2022 • 10:11 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Questionable To Return Sunday
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Taylor was inefficient when on the field, registering 20 carries for 42 rushing yards. He also lost a fumble in the contest. Nyheim Hines will handle rushing duties in Taylor's absence.
Oct 2, 2022 • 7:50 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Good To Go Against Titans
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (toe) will not carry an injury designation into the team's Week 4 AFC East showdown with the Tennessee Titans. Taylor missed practice on Wednesday but was a full participant on Thursday and Friday, so his availability was never really in doubt. He has not been the league-winning asset fantasy managers expected so far this season but has a great opportunity to get rolling on Sunday against a Titans defense that is surrendering the seventh-most PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs through three weeks. Continue to start Taylor as a surefire RB1.
Oct 1, 2022 • 1:46 AM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Back At Practice
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (toe) was back at practice on Thursday after missing the first practice of his career on Wednesday for precautionary reasons. Taylor suffered the minor toe injury during the team's Week 3 upset victory over the Chiefs, but this doesn't look like something that is going to have an impact on his production moving forward. Taylor has got off to a bit of a slow start this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. The 23-year-old has averaged 20.3 carries and 4.3 targets per game, making him an elite RB1 option in Week 4 as the Colts face the divisional rival Titans at home.
Sep 29, 2022 • 6:58 PM | RotoBallerJonathan Taylor Misses Practice But Expected To Play
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (toe) didn't practice on Wednesday, but it was reportedly for precautionary reasons after Taylor had some soreness coming out of the Week 3 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. "He'll be ready to roll," a source said about his availability for Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Fantasy managers should have the 23-year-old available for this weekend, but his practice status is worth watching the rest of the week. Taylor is a must-start whenever he's active, but it's possible that he could be somewhat limited against Tennessee if his toe is still bothering him. If Taylor were to ever miss any time, Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson would split Indy's backfield work.
