Jonathan Taylor, RB (IND)

Strong numbers in lopsided loss

Taylor rushed 19 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 23 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Taylor and the Colts' offense as a whole got the new season off to a highly encouraging start, capping off a crisp opening drive with the star running back's one-yard touchdown run. Taylor would go on to add a three-yard scoring rush late in the first half after the Ravens had gone on to rattle off 28 straight points, with Taylor's fumble after a 14-yard reception leading to one of Baltimore's touchdowns. Outside of the turnover, Taylor's overall numbers in a game during which his rushing opportunities were capped late were still useful for fantasy managers, and he'll be slated for another prominent role in a Week 2 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.
