McGowan was stashed by Boone after dropping Hunter Henry, with a potential Jonathan Taylor trade on the horizon.PositiveSleeperOct 27, 2026
The source identifies Seth McGowen, Jonathan Taylor's backup, as the winner if Taylor is traded; McGowen would become a starting RB on the waiver wire for free, representing league-winner upside as a free starting running back.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Seth McGowan saw a season-high 12 touches on Sunday; is a stash with Jonathan Taylor potentially on the move at the trade deadline.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
With the Colts firing GM Chris Ballard, a fire sale is likely coming, and Jonathan Taylor could be traded. If Taylor is dealt, McGowan should take over as the RB1 in Indianapolis. The add is valuable because McGowan likely won't require significant FAAB or a premium waiver claim.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
McGowan earned his biggest snap share of the season on Sunday at 34.5% against the Jaguars, suggesting the Colts are getting a look at what the seventh-round rookie can offer in a large role. He has performed well on limited touches this year, including a season-high 48 yards against a stout Vikings front in Week 7. With trade rumors surrounding Jonathan Taylor and a Nov. 10 deadline approaching, it's wise to stash McGowan on your bench. The Colts have one of the 10 best fantasy RB schedules in the second half of the season, so McGowan could be a sneaky fantasy option down the stretch.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026

McGowan is the Colts' RB2, ahead of DJ Giddens in the depth chart after camp competition.NegativeRoleAug 25, 2026
McGowan is categorized as a backup to stash in deep leagues; a less-hyped backup who is still one injury away from increased value.PositiveRoleAug 21, 2026
Colts RB2 job is leaning McGowan's way based on Saturday preseason action, though starters sat out the game.NegativeDepth ChartAug 19, 2026
