2022 Fantasy Outlook
After a solid rookie season that finished with a bang, expectations were high for Taylor coming
into 2021, and he exceeded them by a mile. He won his first of potentially many rushing crowns,
and he nearly lapped the field doing it, as the 552-yard gap between Taylor and second-place
Nick Chubb was the largest since 2009. Taylor's the total package as a runner, showing power,
agility, vision and speed, but it's the latter trait that puts him over the top among his peers. He
posted three of the five fastest top speeds recorded on touchdowns last year, including an NFL-
best 22.13 mph on a 67-yard scamper Week 15 against the Patriots. The power and agility were
highlighted by his 2.6 yards per carry after contact, good for third in the league. If there's a flaw
in his skill set, it's that Taylor isn't a natural receiver out of the backfield, but the Colts have Nyheim Hines to handle those duties, and Taylor is still capable of contributing. Indianapolis' elite offensive line showed a couple cracks in 2021, and some natural regression could be coming for Taylor's league-leading 89 red-zone carries (more than 40 ahead of second-place Austin Ekeler), but the addition of Matt Ryan to replace Carson Wentz at quarterback shouldn't change the focal point of Frank Reich's offense. Expect Taylor to see big volume again in 2022 and consistently burn defenders with those touches. Read Past Outlooks

Undergoes ankle procedure
Taylor underwent surgery to repair his right ankle this past Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Even though Taylor was shut down for the season after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Vikings, the Colts didn't immediately send him in for surgery. Now nearly six weeks removed from sustaining the injury, the Colts subsequently determined that Taylor would require an arthroscopic debridement, which Rapoport describes as "a minimally invasive procedure to clean out the ankle." Fortunately for Taylor, he isn't dealing with any structural damage to the ankle, so the Colts' top running back now has plenty of time to recover before training camp. Taylor plans to be a full participant by the time camp rolls opens in late July.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
When Marlon Mack ruptured his Achilles in Week 1 it was assumed Taylor would immediately erupt, and while the rookie did post his first 100-yard rushing game in Week 2, it took him a while to get going after that. Between Weeks 3 and 10, he failed to top 68 yards as he adjusted to the NFL, but down the stretch Taylor broke through and became the player Indianapolis thought it was drafting in the second round. Over his final six regular-season games, Taylor amassed 741 rushing yards and seven TDs, including a mammoth 253 yards and two scores in Week 17 to help the Colts lock up a playoff spot. The 22-year-old has an enviable blend of power, speed and agility, and he showed good patience in waiting for Indy's elite offensive line to open holes that would allow him to explode into the second level. Taylor isn't a natural pass catcher, but he's adequate in that area, and with Nyheim Hines on the roster he won't have to handle the bulk of those duties. Mack also signed a one-year deal to return and provide some insurance, but after the way Taylor closed out 2020, it's hard to see him working in any kind of committee. He hasn't yet reached his ceiling, and more work at the goal line (he barely saw half of the Colts' red-zone carries, a rate well behind the likes of Josh Jacobs or Ezekiel Elliott) could push his production into the stratosphere.
