Player Spotlight: Week 7’s Undisputed Showstopper

Jonathan Taylor reminded everyone exactly why he’s still one of the most feared runners in football during the Colts’ Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He ripped through LA’s defense for 94 yards on 16 carries and found the end zone three times, including a bruising 23-yard touchdown that set the tone early. Every run looked like vintage JT quick burst through the hole, elite contact balance, and a refusal to go down on first contact. The Colts leaned on him heavily in the red zone, and he delivered every time, adding three receptions for 38 yards to pad his fantasy line. For managers who stuck with him through the early-season ups and downs, this was the breakout game they’d been waiting for.

Indianapolis’ offensive line dominated at the point of attack, opening lanes that let Taylor showcase that trademark blend of patience and explosion. His 5.9 yards per carry and relentless energy earned him FedEx Ground Player of the Week honors, but more importantly, it cemented him back into the elite fantasy RB1 conversation. If this version of Jonathan Taylor sticks around, he’s not just a lineup lock — he’s the kind of player who can carry fantasy teams into November with championship momentum.
