Managers should monitor the Indianapolis Colts’ injury report this week. If Jonathan Taylor misses his third consecutive outing because of a high ankle sprain, the Colts’ backup running backs will get a favorable matchup with the Miami Dolphins.
Even if Taylor returns to game action, he may not handle a full workload, which leaves enough room for Tyler Goodson to pick up some carries against a defensive unit that’s yielding 4.7 yards per carry.
Last week, in Taylor’s absence, Trey Sermon led the Colts backfield in touches (18), but Goodson outpaced him in scrimmage yards (65-29) with six fewer touches.
Lastly, Taylor has only seen 10 targets in four games. Goodson garnered five targets, and Sermon didn’t see any in Week 6. If Taylor suits up, Goodson can still be a fantasy asset in point-per-reception leagues.
