Positive signalUsage

Taylor's 4-week tear (329 yards, 4 TDs) sets up well against Cowboys' third-worst run defense.

All-Pro running back leading Colts' strong rushing attack; Indy has recorded 100+ rushing yards in six of last eight games, including three over 125 yards. Taylor was on an absolute tear from Weeks 4-7 with 329 rushing yards on 74 carries and four touchdowns, a pace of 1,398 yards and 17 TDs over a full season. Colts rank fourth in offensive rush EPA (-0.002) and ninth in rush success rate (43.1%). Cowboys' defense ranks third-worst in rush EPA (-0.020) and allows second-most rushing yards per attempt (5.0), setting up a favorable matchup for Taylor if Dallas' run defense plays as poorly as it has all season.
