Start: Jonathan Taylor — Indianapolis Colts (vs LVR)

Jonathan Taylor is a clear start in Week 17 versus the Raiders. With the Colts needing a win to stay alive in the playoff race, expect Indy’s bellcow to get plenty of work in this one. The Colts signed Taylor to a massive extension earlier in the season for moment’s exactly like this. The offense cannot rely on Gardner Minshew entirely, especially against a Raiders defensive line that featured a game-wrecker in Maxx Crosby. Feeding Taylor will help weaken the pass rush.
