The Jonathan Taylor situation remains unsettled, even with the star running back expected to return to practice Wednesday.
It looks like the buying window for Jonathan Taylor could be slammed shut before we know it. Taylor is expected to return to practice for the Colts Wednesday, and could return to game action as soon as Sunday’s game versus the Tennessee Titans. While there has been nothing but positive sentiment around the topic conveyed from the Colts, it’s still unclear if Taylor wants to play another down for Indianapolis.
This situation was one of the most intriguing stories of the off-season, and you should keep your popcorn handy for what happens next. If Taylor returns to action, he immediately regains his status as a Fantasy RB1 in a Colts offense that has been a pleasant surprise, ranking middle of the pack in most key offensive metrics in 2023. This would immediately render Zack Moss useless for Fantasy purposes as anything more than a handcuff.
Fantasy Managers with Moss should have a plan for Taylor’s return, but shouldn’t drop him quite yet. There are multiple scenarios (a trade, Taylor continuing to hold out, etc..) that could keep Moss as an RB2 for the foreseeable future. Trey Sermon and any other Colts running back you may be rostering besides Moss is safe to drop at this time.
