Taylor ripped off a huge 58-yard run in the first quarter thanks to a bad angle by Damar Hamlin, but was held to just 56 yards on his other 20 carries. The Bills seemed to sell out to stop Taylor and frequently met him in the backfield. Considering the Colts seem intent on letting Tyler Goodson and Trey Sermon play on passing downs over Taylor, the 25-year-old doesn't have as high of a fantasy ceiling as we'd hope for. Even still, he remains a locked-in RB1 as a rushing threat.
The Indianapolis offense was held out of the end zone by Brian Flores' Vikings defense, with the Colts also failing to get any momentum going on the ground. Taylor played almost every snap through three quarters, ceding just two carries and two targets to Trey Sermon while operating in a true workhorse role. Even so, the inability to move the football capped Taylor's fantasy outing, as was the case for most Indianapolis skill position players. Taylor and the Colts get another difficult matchup in Week 10 when they host the Bills.
