His numbers this year are universally down. He's averaging fewer rush yards over expected and yards after contact. His breakaway way is also down. I wouldn't really take those as indications of anything other than the sorry state of the Colts' offense.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Taylor's down 2026 stats reflect Colts offense struggles, not talent decline.

Taylor's 2026 numbers are universally down; he's averaging fewer rush yards over expected, fewer yards after contact, and lower breakaway rate than last year. However, the source attributes this to the sorry state of the Colts' offense rather than Taylor's decline. Last year he was sixth in the league in YAC per carry while leading the league in rush attempts when the offense was humming.
