Who Should I Start? Chris Rodriguez Jr. or Isaac Guerendo

Friday, October 3, 9:42 PM

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has led the backfield in carries and rushing yards over the last two weeks, compiling 98 yards on 18 attempts. Rodriguez has served as an early down hammer back this season, with him being brought up to the active roster after Austin Ekeler was lost for the season in Week 2. Rodriguez has tied for the lead in snaps with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the past two weeks and should continue to be involved on early downs and in short distances. He faces a tough test against a Chargers defense that has given up the fewest amount of fantasy points to running backs this season. Rodriguez is best left out of lineups for Week 5.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo has yet to see an offensive snap in 2025, and there is little reason to expect that to change in Week 4. Christian McCaffrey is the team's unquestioned starter, and Brian Robinson Jr. has the second position on the depth chart locked down. The team's official depth chart lists both Guerendo and rookie Jordan James as the third-string running back, raising the question of which of the two would be given an opportunity in the backfield should the need arise. In the meantime, Guerendo has been relegated to kick return duty. Through three games, he has taken back four kicks for a grand total of 82 yards. Until an injury shakes up the depth chart, Guerendo has no place on fantasy football rosters.
