Jonathan Taylor or J.K. Dobbins Week 12 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for RBs

The running back position is one of the most important in fantasy football. With so many good running backs available, starting the right one is important. In Week 12, fantasy managers may have to decide between Jonathan Taylor and J.K. Dobbins. But who is the better option?

Is Jonathan Taylor a good fantasy option?

Jonathan Taylor is a great fantasy option in Week 12 and in every week. The Indianapolis Colts starting running back is one of the top running backs in all of football.

Taylor gets plenty of carries, as he has gotten 20+ carries in five of his last six games, while he's rushed for 100+ yards in four of the eight games he's played this season.

This week, the Colts face the Lions, who allow less than 100 running yards per game, which will hurt Taylor's chances in Week 12, but he should still see plenty of carries.
