Jacksonville Jaguars Rushing Offense at Indianapolis Colts Rushing Defense (Great Matchup)
The Jaguars come into this game on a high-note, having shut out the Steelers on Monday Night Football last week. Their stable of backs posted 30/110/0 against the hard-nosed Pittsburgh defensive front (led by Fred Taylor's 22/92/0). Taylor is the 8th ranked fantasy back through 2 weeks, with 43/166/1 rushing and 9/70/0 receiving to his credit. This team looks really strong right now.
The Colts have out-scored their opponents, but not thanks to outstanding defensive play. Over the first 2 games, the Indy D has coughed up an average of 147 rushing yards per game, and allowed 23/108/0 (a 4.7 yards-per-carry average) to the muddled Houston stable last week. Color us unimpressed with these numbers.
Taylor should come out of this game looking pretty sweet - advantage, Jacksonville.
