ESPN: Several teams interested in trading for JT
Key Points:
- Multiple NFL teams have expressed interest in trading for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, but it is uncertain if the Colts will sell before the trade deadline amid organizational changes following GM Chris Ballard's firing.
- Taylor has shown strong performance with multiple multi-touchdown games and remains a top RB1 fantasy option, despite some struggles due to the Colts' offensive line issues and quarterback play.
- The Giants are considering the cost of acquiring a running back like Taylor, which could require at least a Day 2 draft pick, and face challenges in trading key players like Kayvon Thibodeaux due to injuries.
- Several other NFL players have injury updates ahead of Week 7, including Dalton Schultz (limited practice), Carson Beck (did not practice), Jaylen Waddle (limited), and Brock Bowers (full practice), affecting their teams' depth and fantasy outlooks.
- The Bears and Patriots have declared multiple players inactive for Week 7, with D’Andre Swift leading the Bears' backfield and Christian Gonzalez playing through illness for the Patriots, impacting game-day rosters and strategies.
