Running Backs

Jonathan Taylor has been swinging between “Established Starter” and “Promising,” especially after Jordan Wilkins grabbed the reins in Game 7 against the Lions. Because it was THEN than the Colts’ run game suddenly looked as dominant as expected back in the spring.

But the next game, against the Ravens, we’d swung back to Taylor as lead back, who delivered a crucial fumble and contributed to our anemic yards per carry (25th in the league).

I love the way Nyheim Hines keeps a low profile (easy enough, at his height), then bursts out of the tall grass like a cheetah after his prey. I predict Hines is the (Ant) Man in the second half.

RB Grade:   B-

“Marked improvement heading into home stretch.”
