The Eagles have been troubled by the run all season which is likely their biggest weakness. After losing multiple players along their front to injury, they recently signed NFL veterans Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh. It is unclear if they will play this week, but they should help stop the run when they do. The Colts played their first game under Jeff Saturday, and Taylor carried the rock 22 times for 147 yards. His ankle appeared healthy on his 66-yard TD run, and Saturday seems intent on using him as a workhorse back. At this price, he is a great value bet.
