DJ Giddens: DJ Giddens' Snap Share Crumbles in Week 2

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back DJ Giddens saw a sharp decline in his usage during Week 2. After logging 25% of the snaps in the opener, his role was reduced to just 7% as Jonathan Taylor handled nearly all of the backfield work. The shift in snap share makes it clear that as long as Taylor is healthy, Giddens will struggle to carve out meaningful standalone value for fantasy managers. Still, his size and power make him a strong handcuff option, as he would likely step into a heavy workload should Taylor miss time at any point this season. For now, Giddens should be viewed more as a depth stash in deeper formats rather than a reliable contributor. His immediate value is limited, but his long-term upside remains tied directly to Taylor's availability.
