Indianapolis @ Detroit
Team Totals: Colts 26.75, Lions 23.75
The 4-2 Colts return from their Week 7 bye to face the 3-3 Lions, whom enemy backfields have dusted for 143/685/7 (4.79 YPC) rushing, an average of 157.2 total yards, and nine all-purpose touchdowns in six games. Week 8 presents Frank Reich’s team its best opportunity yet to tee up fledgling rookie Jonathan Taylor for a breakthrough based on matchup and game-script projection with Indy favored by three points at Ford Field. In Indianapolis’ last game, Taylor logged a season-high 5.0 yards per carry, his top playing-time clip since Week 2 (59%), and his best receiving line since Week 1 (4/55/0). Taylor is a safe-floor RB2 play with top-five RB1 upside here. … Nyheim Hines is a shaky Week 8 flex option after managing touch counts of 5 and 5 in the Colts’ two pre-bye games. Hines is averaging 7.3 touches in wins and 10.0 touches in losses.
