Draft note
by John Paulsen
Taylor enters his age-26 season still firmly in his prime, but durability remains a concern—he’s missed 16 games over the last three years. In 2024, he played 14 games and finished as the fantasy RB14, but was RB8 on a per-game basis, racking up 1,567 total yards and 12 touchdowns on 321 touches. While he hasn’t been much of a receiving threat the last two seasons (just 1.5 catches per game), he showed pass-catching upside early in his career (76 receptions across his first two seasons), and his receiving role could grow if Daniel Jones wins the starting job. Last season, Jones targeted running backs on 13.5% of his throws compared to just 7.8% for Anthony Richardson over the past two seasons. Taylor was efficient before contact (6th out of 46 qualified backs) but struggled to create after it, ranking 36th in yards after contact per attempt and 35th in broken tackle rate. That could be a function of injury, usage, or offensive design, but it’s something to monitor. Taylor is a strong bet for 300+ touches again in 2025 and remains a midrange RB1 with top-five upside if he can stay on the field and see a bump in receiving usage.

IND RB Jonathan Taylor - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Giants

If you had Jonathan Taylor this season, there's a good chance you're playing for a championship this week, especially after his huge day in Week 16 (218 yards, three touchdowns). And Taylor may win you a championship this week. The Colts are facing the second-worst fantasy defense against running backs in the Giants, who look like they've packed it in for the season. You weren't benching Taylor anyway, but knowing he has a very strong matchup for championship week makes him all the more exciting this week.
