From the article

Rookie RB Seth McGowan looks to be the direct successor as the only other Colts running back to handle a carry in 2026. The seventh-rounder out of Kentucky has put up 134 rushing yards on 32 carries for the exact 4.2 yards per attempt as Taylor has logged. Last week, McGowan played a season-high 34% of snaps, with 11 carries for 46 yards and one catch.

Positive signalRole

McGowan poised for RB2 workload if Taylor is traded; 34% snap share and matching efficiency.

The seventh-round rookie out of Kentucky has logged 134 rushing yards on 32 carries for 4.2 yards per attempt, matching Jonathan Taylor's efficiency. McGowan played a season-high 34% of snaps in Week 7 with 11 carries for 46 yards and one catch. With the Colts facing a lost season and Taylor reportedly on the trade block, McGowan is positioned as the direct successor; if Taylor is moved, McGowan will immediately inherit a legitimate RB2 workload. The Colts have minimal depth behind him, as DJ Giddens was a healthy scratch in Week 7.
