Close losses keep adding up
The Indianapolis Colts fell to 2-7 with a 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 9, their fourth consecutive defeat. Three of those four losses came by six points or fewer. Indianapolis lost 26-20 to Tennessee in Week 6 and 16-10 at Minnesota in Week 7 before a 42-7 defeat at Jacksonville in Week 8. The narrower margin against Dallas did not change the result. Through nine games, the Colts have scored 184 points and allowed 249, leaving them with a minus-65 point differential.
Taylor leads the fantasy picture
Jonathan Taylor tops Indianapolis with 153.6 PPR points this season. Kicker Spencer Shrader ranks second at 103.0, followed by tight end Tyler Warren at 84.1, quarterback Daniel Jones at 81.5 and wide receiver Keenan Allen at 81.1. Week 9 produced a different order. Shrader led the Colts with 16.0 points, ahead of wide receiver Ashton Dulin at 12.8 and running back Seth McGowan at 11.2. Jones finished with 10.3, while Taylor scored 9.4. Taylor's season total still gives him a clear lead among Indianapolis fantasy scorers, even after a week in which four teammates finished ahead of him.
Miami visits next
The Colts host the Miami Dolphins in Week 10 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. ET. Indianapolis enters that matchup looking to end its four-game losing streak after another close defeat.
