This feels as if it could be a bust week for Taylor, on account of the matchup and the setup: The Jaguars are coming off the bye at home, where they've had the league's No. 1 HFA over the past five years (+8.22), and the Colts are +7.5 dogs on the road.

Negative signalMatchup

Taylor downgraded for Week 8 against elite Jaguars defense; boom/bust risk amplified by road dog status.

Taylor is being downgraded for Week 8 despite solid season numbers (18.4 fantasy points per game, 765 yards, 8 TDs on 140 carries, 26 targets, 90 Utilization Score) due to boom/bust production (five games of 18.0+ fantasy points, two under 10.0). The Jaguars are the No. 1 reverse flow chart defense for RBs, allowing fewest fantasy points (14.7). The matchup is unfavorable: Jaguars are home off the bye with the league's No. 1 HFA over five years (+8.22), Colts are +7.5 road underdogs on their fifth game in seven weeks, and Taylor had only average production in two games last year against Jacksonville (13.7 fantasy points per game, 158 yards, 2 TDs on 42 carries, 6 targets).
