The Indianapolis Colts have emerged as one of the standout teams of the 2025 NFL season, with running back Jonathan Taylor’s performance drawing attention and admiration. As the reigning rushing champion from 2021 and a two-time Pro Bowler, Taylor currently leads the league with a staggering 603 total rushing yards, averaging 100.5 yards per game and scoring seven touchdowns. His impressive workload underscores his importance to the Colts, as he has registered 115 rushing attempts so far this season, the most in the NFL.
The SportsLine model forecasts that Taylor will continue this momentum into Week 7, projecting him to exceed the set over/under of 89.5 rushing yards and potentially surpass 100 yards in the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts, boasting a 5-1 record, rank sixth in the league for run-play percentage at 47.92%, and with the Chargers allowing 5.0 yards per rush—ranking 28th in the NFL—the model anticipates another stellar performance from Taylor.
In addition to Taylor, the model also highlights Jordan Mason of the Minnesota Vikings as a strong candidate to exceed 70.5 rushing yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a bye week, Mason is expected to be well-rested and ready to dominate, especially with Aaron Jones sidelined on IR. With the Eagles allowing 134.3 rushing yards per game, Mason is projected to rush for approximately 90 yards.
Conversely, De’Von Achane of the Miami Dolphins is projected to stay below 68.5 rushing yards in his matchup against the formidable Cleveland Browns. Despite his abilities as a playmaker, Achane has gone under this total in four of his six games this season. The Browns’ defense has been strong against the run, ranking third in rushing yards allowed, creating a challenging environment for Achane, who the model anticipates will finish with around 61 rushing yards.
