In a game where the Colts scored three TDs, Jonathan Taylor was responsible for two. Taylor finished Sunday night with 24 carries for 92 yards and 2 TDs while adding four receptions on as many targets for 40 receiving yards in a 29.2 PPR point performance.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: High-End Usage Keeps Him Safe
After achieving an RB8 finish in Week 1 with 25.1 PPR points, Taylor followed it up with 29.2 PPR points, which hold the RB1 spot on the week pending Monday Night Football.
The Colts RB led all RBs last week with a 95.0% carry share and followed that with a 75% share this week. That level of usage has become a staple for Taylor over the past couple of seasons.
Taylor has produced at least a 70% carry share in each of the past two seasons, which includes a 73.2% carry share that led all RBs last year.
The seventh-year RB isn’t often used as a receiver out of the backfield, his 10.1% target share last season ranked 18th among all RBs and was 0.1% shy of his career-high.
The lack of receiving opportunity makes it a tougher path to high-end RB1 production, but the high-end usage and efficiency give Taylor one of the highest floors for an RB.
