Taylor has 161 carries for 656 total rushing yards (4.1 ypc. avg.) and 8 rushing touchdowns during all 9 starts. While he's the Colts best player right now and remains an elite Top 5 player at the running back position, it's a fair question with turning 28-years-old in January of whether he still has the prime career longevity left to outlast an Indianapolis rebuild.

Taylor's 4.1 YPC and 8 TDs through 9 starts; elite RB5 status questioned by age and rebuild timeline.

Through 9 starts in 2026, Taylor has 161 carries for 656 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry average) and 8 rushing touchdowns; he remains an elite Top 5 running back despite the Colts' rebuild. However, at 27 years old heading into 28 in January, questions linger about whether he has sufficient prime career longevity to outlast an Indianapolis rebuild projected to take 2-3 years.
