Jonathan Taylor Player Prop Bet
The return of Jonathan Taylor has me all giddy. Just look at all the value on the player prop markets! Now that he has logged full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, he should explode onto the scene against the Atlanta Falcons. Let’s dive into the top Colts-Falcons player prop bet for Sunday, Week 16.
Just to be transparent, the Colts are listing Taylor as questionable leading into Sunday. This doesn’t mean much, because as stated above, he has logged full practices leading into this matchup. Meanwhile, backup running back Zack Moss has already been ruled out, making it Taylor’s backfield to dominate.
The injury that held Taylor out for multiple weeks was a thumb issue that required surgery. That should have almost zero effect on Taylor from a running game perspective. If it was a leg injury, I’d have some concern, but because it’s not, Taylor should be a full-go against a Falcons squad that allowed 87 yards to Chuba Hubbard last week — and 100-plus to Buccaneers back Rachaad White before that.
