Jonathan Taylor Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Colts HC Shane Steichen said Monday that he expects RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) to return to practice this week and that he's "very optimistic" Taylor will play against the Texans on Sunday. Taylor has missed the last three games with what was originally called a minor high-ankle sprain. We'll track his progress this week. If Taylor suits up, he should step back into a workhorse role and will be a must-start in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He remained sidelined in practice all week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 8’s meeting with the Texans. Taylor's absence again leaves Indianapolis’ backfield to Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson. Sermon remained the lead back last week, but Goodson was much more effective. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him take on an expanded role vs. Miami.

Colts RB Trey Sermon (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remained out. It's looking like it'll again be Sermon and Tyler Goodson in the Colts' backfield for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Shane Steichen said before practice that Taylor is feeling "a lot better," but his status for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins remains uncertain. RB Trey Sermon (knee) also missed practice on Wednesday. That left Tyler Goodson as Indianapolis' top healthy RB. He's worth stashing right now as we wait to see how this Colts backfield shakes out over the next few days.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He remained sidelined in practice all week. We'll see if JT can make it back for Week 7's game against the Dolphins. His absence will again leave the backfield to RBs Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson. Sermon tallied 10 carries and six targets to Goodson's five carries and three targets last week.

Colts RB Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to a full practice on Thursday. RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remained out. We're trending toward another game with Sermon as Indianapolis' lead back and Tyler Goodson as the No. 2. Sermon checks in at RB28 in our Week 6 PPR Rankings; RB26 in Half PPR.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. "He’s working through it, he’s looking good," HC Shane Steichen said of JT. "We’ll see how the week goes for him, hopeful that he’ll be out there." Fantasy owners should not be counting on Taylor in Week 6 fantasy lineups. RB Trey Sermon (collarbone) also missed Wednesday's practice. No word on his status for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. If Taylor and Sermon are out, RB Tyler Goodson would be left as Indianapolis' starter.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Shane Steichen said. That's not a good start for Taylor's chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. We're tentatively projecting him to miss that one, again leaving the backfield to Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson. Sermon tallied 10 carries and six targets to Goodson's five carries and three targets in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He didn’t practice all week and didn’t seem close to playing in this one. Consider JT no better than 50/50 for Week 6. His absence on Sunday leaves Indianapolis’ backfield to RBs Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson. RB Evan Hull could be elevated from the practice squad. HC Shane Steichen said Friday that “it'll be running back by committee this week.” We’re expecting Sermon to lead the way, but he’s only a RB3 or Flex in fantasy lineups.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Although his high-ankle sprain is reportedly "mild," he's still unlikely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend. Taylor's absence would leave Trey Sermon as the Colts' lead back, with Tyler Goodson the No. 2. Sermon sits in RB3 territory in the Week 4 Rankings.

Colts HC Shane Steichen said Monday that the team isn't planning to place RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on short-term IR "as of now," according to insider Mike Chappell. Taylor is dealing with what NFL Network's Ian Rapoport called a "mild" high-ankle sprain. It's notably the same ankle that required surgery in January 2023. Consider it good news if Taylor misses fewer than four games with this injury. We're not expecting him to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday but will track his progress throughout the week. Taylor's absence would leave Trey Sermon as Indianapolis' lead back.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Steelers. "It’s believed to be a pretty mild version," Rapoport adds. "Indy will get a full report tomorrow, but in the words of one source, 'He’s ok.'"
