Taylor faces elite Texans run defense; low-scoring game expected limits upside.

Taylor faces the Texans in Week 3, who rank second in EPA allowed to the run and have allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game (85). The Texans allow only a 2.3% explosive run rate and are especially strong against man/gap scheme runs (fourth-lowest success rate), which is an area where Taylor had been succeeding with 5.38 yards per carry. Taylor has increased receiving involvement with four targets in each of his first two games, but with the Colts missing Alec Pierce for a sustained period, the offense might struggle. The source expects a low-scoring, slow-paced game, which is unfavorable for fantasy.
