Jonathan Taylor is under consideration as a top running back pick for the 2026 fantasy football season. While he showcased strong numbers early last season, averaging 27.4 points per game in the first 10 weeks, his performance declined to 12.6 points per game following injuries to quarterback Daniel Jones. Taylor's overall statistics mirror his 2021 performance, reinforcing his potential if the Colts' offense operates effectively. Reports suggest Jones should be ready for Week 1, which may impact Taylor's fantasy draft position if confidence in the Colts’ offensive line returns.
