Jonathan Taylor will benefit from Daniel Jones returning to the Colts; when Jones was removed and the team had no deep threat, defenses could stack the box and stop Taylor. With Jones back, the source is more optimistic Taylor will get better offensive support and not face the same defensive stacking. However, the source expresses concern about Taylor's fragility from a fantasy perspective, noting the Colts' inconsistent record (9-8, 9-8, 8-9, 4-12 in recent years) and 8.5-win projection. The speaker suggests if the Colts lose 10 games, Taylor owners will be unhappy, and questions whether RB3 is the right spot given the team's volatility.
