If Jonathan Taylor is available in trade, the Colts could hold him out of action on Sunday
ProFootballTalk reports the Colts, who already dealt Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, could hold Jonathan Taylor out Sunday if he is available in trade. Nothing has been confirmed.
The Colts are open for business, as evidenced by the Tuesday trades that sent offensive lineman Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers.
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartRight · +1.7 over the lineThis is a conditional on top of a rumour, and your lineup cannot be built on either. Taylor is the RB6 by sharp rank with 136.2 points of value over replacement and 19.0 and 22.1 in his last two weeks; you are not benching that on a maybe. The wrinkle is Indianapolis sitting as 9.5-point underdogs in Jacksonville, which is an ugly script even if he plays. Start him and have a contingency warm. If he is inactive, you will know before kickoff like everyone else.
