This could be fun.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 5 matchup at the Indianapolis Colts (kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT) could be a clinic in the art of seeing running backs create missed tackles.
Both Raiders’
rookie running back Ashton Jeanty and Colts’ veteran star tailback Jonathan Taylors have been masters of the art. In fact, according to FantasyPTsData, via Scott Barrett, Jeanty and Taylor are the leaders in forcing missed tackles in the NFL through the first four weeks of the season.
So, expect to see some frustrated defenders grabbing at air in this game and don’t be surprised if the play of Jeanty and Taylor go a long way in determining the outcome of the game.
