Last season was an up-and-down year for Jonathan Taylor and his fantasy owners. The season was riddled with contract disputes, injuries, and inconsistent production. Taylor started the season on the PUP list (ankle) and did not appear in a game until Week 5. He also missed a stretch of games late in the season due to a thumb injury. When he was on the field, he provided some productive weeks but was relatively inconsistent. He appeared in 10 games, finishing as a weekly RB1 four times. However, these RB1 finishes never came in consecutive weeks.
With a new contract and injuries behind him, Taylor will have a fresh start and is being drafted as the RB5 in most formats. I am hesitant to take him at this price, but let's take a look at the good and the bad of Taylor's 2024 outlook.
Starting with the good, Taylor has proven to be a quality rusher who can churn out yards when necessary but is also capable of a house call at any moment. The Colts will be a high-paced, run-first offense and will feature Taylor as an offensive focal point. He should see plenty of rushing work and will have every opportunity to rack up yards on the ground.
Looking to the bad, Taylor may have a hard time seeing high-value targets and red zone touches. Taylor has never been highly utilized or effective as a pass catcher and in an offense with Anthony Richardson as the QB, don't expect a bump in usage as a receiver. Speaking of Richardson, we just discussed his effectiveness as a rusher near the goal-line. Taylor will certainly see work in this area of the field, but the Colts would be foolish not to give goal-line rushes to Richardson. There is a path for Taylor to pay off at his RB5 price with volume, but the red flags are very apparent.

 Michael Pittman Jr. out multiple weeks with back injury
Colts injuries are mounting
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 9, 5:38 pm
|  | Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is dealing with a back injury that is now expected to sideline him multiple weeks, per sources. Injured reserve is an option. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Colts are dealing with injuries to Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor and now Pittman heading into Week 6. Josh Downs (toe) missed practice on Wednesday, rookie Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce are likely to be the top three receivers while Pittman is out. Assuming he plays, and Joe Flacco starts at QB, Downs is an easy WR2 this week against the Titans.

"Mild" high-ankle sprain
By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 30, 11:30 pm
| | RB Jonathan Taylor’s high ankle sprain is mild, per @RapSheet. He will be evaluated throughout the week. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: HC Shane Steichen told reporters on Monday the team is not considering a short-term IR stint for Taylor, which is good news. The bad news is there really is no such thing as a "mild" ankle sprain, so Taylor's fantasy managers should probably expect him to miss at least a game or two. Trey Sermon came on in relief of Taylor late in the fourth quarter and should be considered a high-priority add ahead of Week 5, especially if we get confirmation over the next two days that Taylor will not play in Week 5.
