What happened: Jonathan Taylor has matched his single-season career high for fumbles at the midpoint of the 2026 campaign. The running back reached the mark in his eighth appearance of the year.
Why it matters: The ball-security trouble comes during an otherwise productive stretch featuring 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. The turnover spike presents an unexpected issue as offensive gameplans continue to lean on his high-volume workload.
By the numbers: Taylor recorded four fumbles in both 2021 and 2024, his previous single-season highs. Through eight games in 2026, he has totaled 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns alongside the four fumbles.
What to watch: Taylor will look to shore up ball security in his next outing while maintaining his role as the focal point of the rushing attack.
