Who Should I Start? Isaac Guerendo or DJ Giddens

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) played at less than 100 percent during Saturday's preseason contest. Guerendo started the game, but re-aggravated his shoulder injury in the first quarter. Luckily, Guerendo was able to return to the game after getting looked at on the sideline. At the moment, all signs point to Guerendo being available for the season opener. However, his fantasy value is going to take a serious hit with Brian Robinson Jr. taking over as the RB2 in San Francisco. Guerendo probably won't see significant snaps unless someone gets hurt in the backfield.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens carried the ball six times for 22 yards in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Giddens got the start and played throughout the first quarter before calling it a day in the blowout win. The rookie running back has been competing to be the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor throughout camp and has a good chance at earning that role after Tyler Goodson and Khalil Herbert have both been sidelined by injuries. If Giddens does earn that role, he would be a strong late-round choice in fantasy drafts as a handcuff to Taylor, who has dealt with multiple injuries over the years.
