RB IND
Week 5 · PPR
Start or sit Jonathan Taylor?
The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.
Start
#9 RB projection this week — comfortable start.
Start call: Jonathan Taylor projects for 15.2 PPR points this week, ranked #9 among RBs by our projection model. @PIT is a tough matchup for RBs — the model applies a -8% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 47.5 — 101% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
