If Taylor Misses Time
Next man up: Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan is next on the Colts depth chart at running back. He's the handcuff: worth a bench spot in deeper leagues and for Taylor managers, since the same backfield work would pass to him.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Daniel Jones would lose one of his main options.
