After suffering a hamstring injury in fall camp, Minnesota announced Darius Taylor will not play in their Thursday game against North Carolina. Consequently, Taylor is a significant loss for the Gophers as they look to rely on their ground game.
With the news, expect Oklahoma transfer Marcus Major to take a significant portion of Taylor’s role. However, Jordan Nubin and Sieh Bangura will rotate as well.
Darius Taylor was projected as a top running back for week one in Campus2Canton’s weekly fantasy rankings. Marcus Major is a flex candidate in deep leagues. Keep an eye on this situation for week two.
