The Indianapolis Colts will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Jonathan Taylor.
Is Jonathan Taylor Playing in Week 14?
Taylor is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Taylor in Week 14?
Two straight weeks without a touchdown feels like a slump for Taylor, but the second-longest reception of his season last week (33 yards on a play-action rollout) helped him to clear 100 scrimmage yards and save you from a real stinker against the Texans.
Taylor has multiple receptions in every game this season and has a 19+ yard gain through the air in four of his past six. He’s already five receptions away from matching a career high in receptions, and that adds fire to a profile that is that of a fantasy MVP based solely on the rushing numbers.
But wait. There is at least one breadcrumb that I want to highlight as defenses begin to dare Daniel Jones to beat them.
Over the past two weeks, very tough matchups in Kansas City and against Houston, he’s picked up 2.08 yards per carry after first contact (first 11 weeks: 4.47). The Jags happen to be the fifth-best run defense at preventing yardage before contact, so if this flaw is something to worry about, we could see a third straight inefficient day on the ground.
Not making a move or downgrading him, but simply sharing the information as I come across it.
