Seth McGowan "Right in the Thick" of RB2 Battle in Indianapolis
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Seth McGowan is "right in the thick" of his team's RB2 battle after a productive showing at OTAs, per Andrew Moore of Sports Illustrated. A seventh-round pick out of the University of Kentucky, McGowan recorded 851 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 184 touches across 12 games in his final collegiate season. Superstar running back Jonathan Taylor is locked in atop the Colts depth chart at the position and should dominate backfield touches when healthy in 2026. However, the team is currently without an obvious favorite to win the backup role behind Taylor. McGowan's primary competition currently appears to be 2025 fifth-rounder DJ Giddens, who recorded just 26 carries for 96 yards across nine games as a rookie. If McGowan can establish himself as the RB2 in Indianapolis, he would immediately carry handcuff appeal for fantasy managers looking for an insurance policy on Taylor.
