Jonathan Taylor fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Jonathan Taylor for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Must-Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: You cannot bench Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) if he plays. He missed three straight games with a high-ankle sprain, but has a good chance of clearing the injury report. He practiced fully on Thursday, logging his third straight day of work. His workload and talent are simply too valuable to leave on the bench.
Home Improvement survived w/o Jonathan Taylor Thomas & Colts have survived minus Jonathan Taylor. Colts want to live their best life with JT & his #3 ranking in Breakaway Runs with 7 back into the offense asap!
If he is able to go, is JT in your lineup?

You cannot sit him if you're serious about winning. He's had 74 carries and six receptions in four games, one of which he left early due to injury. He only played 17 games one time in his career, and he was the RB1, scoring 369.1 PPR fantasy points. He puts up big numbers when he's healthy. He's one of the best backs in the league.
Jonathan Taylor is coming for that rushing title.

If there's one thing you could nitpick about Taylor's game, it's that he's not the most prolific pass-catcher. If that really sways you away from starting him, you can think about that all you want while he puts up 20+ points on your bench.
