From the article

Taylor's 11.8 expected half PPR points last week (RB24) were his fewest since Week 9 of last year, if we remove his partial Week 18 game. The culprits were more Seth McGowen than normal, a bad offense and a bad matchup. Now, he'll be without the best guard in the NFL after the Colts traded away Quenton Nelson.

Taylor's RB24 week and Nelson trade threaten his RB9 usage floor.

Taylor's 11.8 expected half PPR points last week (RB24) were his fewest since Week 9 of last year, with culprits being more Seth McGowen than normal, a bad offense, and a bad matchup. He's the RB9 on RB6 usage this month without Alec Pierce clearing space. Now he'll be without Quenton Nelson after the Colts traded away their best guard; the Colts are fourth in PFF run-blocking grade at OG, but that won't hold up. He projects 84.5 total yards against Jacksonville.
