Friday night, Pro Football Focus released the rankings for fantasy running backs in the NFL for Week 3.

Jonathan Taylor made this week’s list as the fifth best projected fantasy running back behind Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Ezekiel Elliot.

This came after a monster Week 2 performance from Taylor with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown. With Marlon Mack sidelined for the Indianapolis Colts due to injury, Taylor will continue to be the bell cow back. The Salem, New Jersey, native will likely have another big week as the Colts face the winless New York Jets today.

It is great to finally see Jonathan Taylor get the recognition across the NFL for the outstanding play and effort we, as Wisconsin fans, have seen from him for years. Time will tell how good Taylor can be, but, based on his first two weeks in the NFL, the future of the Indianapolis Colts’ backfield is in good hands.
