Taylor carried the ball 20 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders. He also caught one of four targets for two yards.
Both scores came from five yards out in the second and third quarters, as the Colts went with a ground-heavy offense once Marcus Mariota (knee) was knocked out of the game in London, forcing the Commanders to turn to third-string QB Athan Kaliakmanis, a seventh-round rookie. Taylor has six rushing TDs through four games along with 422 scrimmage yards, and he figures to see a hefty workload again on the road in Week 5 against the Steelers.
Taylor rushed 24 times for 92 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Taylor has started the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances on the ground after leading the league with 18 rushing touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. The star running back broke free for a 24-yard rushing touchdown with 59 seconds left in the first half before adding a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 27-27. Taylor is the focal point of Indianapolis' offense, and that's unlikely to change in Week 3, even with Houston's stout front seven coming to town.
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.
Everyone sharing the ball with Jonathan, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
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.
