From the video
The Indianapolis Colts now are open to trading star running back Jonathan Taylor... he would just straight up dominate Aaron Jones, dominate Jordan Mason... if Jacobs gets suspended, Jonathan Taylor goes like, Jacobs is scoring 20 points looking like the worst running back in the NFL. Jonathan Taylor, who right now they are saying he is gonna play. But there is also a nonzero percent chance they tell us Sunday morning that they're going to bench him because he's about to be traded and they don't want him to get hurt.
STACKED’s take
Trade speculation favors Minnesota; play with lowered expectations this week due to bench risk.
Colts open to trading Taylor; prediction markets favor Minnesota (39%), Giants (18%), and Green Bay (16%) as landing spots, with Taylor viewed as a dominant fit in Minnesota's run-heavy offense where he would "straight up dominate Aaron Jones, dominate Jordan Mason" and benefit from strong defense enabling heavy rushing volume. Giants attractive due to winning record and run-first identity; Green Bay's garbage offensive line becomes more appealing if Josh Jacobs faces additional suspension, elevating Taylor's target upside. Staying with Colts (14% probability) viewed as very unlikely. For this week: Taylor expected to play but nonzero percent chance Colts bench him Sunday morning to avoid injury before trade, creating downside risk. Speaker recommends playing him with "lowered expectations" despite being the only Colts player he'd consider starting. If benched, Seth McGowan becomes the play.
