The Colts have already traded Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartRight · +1.7 over the lineThis is a rumour, and rumours do not move a 274.3-point projection. Taylor is the RB6 by sharp rank with 136.2 points of value over replacement, and he put up 19.0 and 22.1 the last two weeks on a roster that is visibly being dismantled around him. Indianapolis being 10.0-point underdogs at Jacksonville is the bearish part, not the trade chatter; most of the five interested teams are better offenses than this one. You start him this week and every week until a transaction actually exists. If you are shopping him at a discount because of a report, you are doing someone else's work for free.
