Jonathan Taylor gets extension

The Colts officially activated RB Jonathan Taylor from the PUP list Saturday, but then quickly topped that with bigger news. Taylor has agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension with the team. That obviously ends all the drama that clouded Taylor's 2023 outlook and locks him in as Indy's workhorse. There might be some risk to starting him in fantasy lineups right away, given lingering ankle trouble this summer. A matchup with Tennessee's tough run defense makes it an even tougher spot. But expect Taylor to quickly return to weekly starter status in an offense that has recently supported RB1 weeks for Zack Moss. Check our Week 5 RB rankings to see where Taylor has settled in.
