FLEX Option: Jonathan Taylor $5,800

Jonathan Taylor is the best value in daily fantasy football this week. Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich already said he proved himself to be the starting back. The team will likely want to take some pressure off of Philip Rivers after a rough first week with his new team. To get a starting running back with this much talent at this price, it’s a no brainer for daily fantasy players.

Taylor admittedly had a rough first week rushing. He was only able to muster 22 yards on the ground on nine carries. He was still a fantasy contributor thanks to his receiving ability. He caught six balls and added 67 yards through the air. It shows that even if things aren’t clicking for him in the run game, he will find a way to make an impact on the field.

With Marlon Mack out for the foreseeable future, it’s good to know the Colts coaches are ready to hand the ball off to Taylor full time. Getting a full week of practice in as the starter will help his rhythm with Rivers and the offensive line. Coming off a surprise loss to the Jaguars, they face a good Vikings team this week. Taylor could make an impact in what’s likely a must-win game.

Other Low-Cost Options: Antonio Gibson $5,100, D’Andre Swift $5,200
