Jonathan Taylor: Everything you need to know

Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 26 yards and caught both his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans. It was the least productive game of the season for Taylor, as his longest run went for only eight yards and rookie DJ Giddens wound up leading the Colts with 30 rushing yards. Taylor missed his chance to catch James Cook for the NFL rushing crown, but he still wraps up an impressive campaign with 1,585 rushing yards and a career-high 18 TDs on the ground, along with a 46-378-2 line on 55 targets through the air. The 26-year-old RB will head into 2026 as the centerpiece of the Indianapolis offense.

Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on six targets for 14 yards. The Jaguars boast one of the best run defenses in the league, and they made running room hard to come by for Taylor. His longest rush went for only 10 yards, though he still turned in a solid fantasy performance thanks to his volume of touches as well as a three-yard touchdown plunge early in the second quarter. Taylor now has 20 total touchdowns for the season and has at least 70 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive contests. It's unclear if the Colts will alter their backfield usage in Week 18 after being eliminated from playoff contention, but Taylor will face a very tough Texans run defense to close the 2025 campaign.

Taylor rushed 16 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 33 yards in the Colts' 48-27 loss to the 49ers on Monday night. Taylor salvaged his fantasy night with a one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, which narrowed a 34-20 deficit. The star back otherwise was stonewalled on the ground for the majority of the night, although he made some solid contributions as a receiver. Taylor's rushing yardage total was his second lowest of the season, while his average of 2.9 yards per carry was a new low-water mark. He hasn't eclipsed the 100-yard mark on the ground since his memorable 244-yard performance against the Falcons in Berlin in Week 10, and he'll draw another tough matchup at home against the Jaguars in a Week 17 divisional clash Sunday.
