Taylor suffered the ankle injury in their Week 4 loss but may be able to give it a go in Week 5. He faces a quick recovery time as the Colts hit Thursday Night Football as they take on the Denver Broncos. This will be a situation to monitor as we move closer to game time, as Taylor is a clear RB1 in all fantasy leagues.

In four games this season, Taylor has attempted 81 rushes for 328 yards and a touchdown. He has also hauled in nine receptions for 44 yards. If he cannot go, expect Nyheim Hines and potentially even Deon Jackson to see a fair amount of the workload on Thursday.
