Jonathan Taylor: Colts owner doesn't want to trade him

THE FACT. ESPN's Adam Schefter said Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show that his understanding is Indianapolis ownership does not want to trade running back Jonathan Taylor, and that he does not expect a deal if that position holds, per NBC Sports and The Big Lead. The Colts have not announced anything, and both reports note the stance could still change before the deadline.

THE VERDICT. With Quenton Nelson already shipped to Seattle, this is the first thing resembling a floor under Taylor's situation. Redraft: start him and stop fielding discount offers, because the owner is the most load-bearing voice in any trade talk. Dynasty: hold, since a Taylor who stays keeps the volume that makes him worth rostering and a Taylor who lands on a contender probably gains. DFS: no reason to change how you price him this week. Treat a move as live until the deadline passes, but stop treating it as the base case.
