Before the bye, Jonathan Taylor was cooking. While his fantasy numbers weren't through-the-roof, it was easy to see how a slight uptick in usage could turn him into an RB1. But in the three games since the Week 7 bye, Taylor has rushed only 24 times for 61 yards (2.5 YPC) and one score while catching a modest six balls for 41 yards. His hands probably are his biggest weakness, and last week's fumble might be costing him touches.
I'd love to buy low on Taylor, because I believe talent often wins in the end. Who knows what's happening behind the scenes. But I doubt the playoff-contending Colts cast aside a guy they traded up for on draft day. Jordan Wilkins isn't the answer, and Nyheim Hines is far more effective in the passing game than running through his line (3.2 YPC entering yesterday, and his career YPC isn't much better).
In dynasty, Taylor will still cost you. But in re-draft you can probably land him at RB3/4 value, especially from someone desperate for wins to make the fantasy playoffs. Worst case, he continues to ride the pine. Best case, he'll return to his early-season form. Not a bad risk to take.
Beyond that, most of last night played out as expected. I wrote that Derrick Henry wouldn't reach 12 points, (he finished with 11.9), A.J. Brown (WR-13 consensus Week 10 ranking) would fail to impress, and Ryan Tannehill wouldn't crack the top 18. Michael Pittman did a little better than expected and, with 15 targets in five days, appears to be Philip Rivers' #1 target--though that doesn't actually mean he'll be better than a WR3 going forward. This remains an RB-heavy, TE-heavy offense. Less than half of Rivers' completions last night went to wideouts.
And I haven't mentioned D'Onta Foreman yet. There was a time not long ago when he was going to supplant Lamar Miller in Houston. It's good to see him back on the field, and his seven carries were surprising. If you're like me and collect high-upside handcuffs, Foreman has gone from irrelevant to relevant nearly overnight.
