Who Should I Start? Isaac Guerendo or Jaydon Blue

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo recorded 572 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 99 total touches as a rookie in 2024. However, through five games in 2025, the 25-year-old has not played a single offensive snap. Guerendo is buried on the 49ers running back depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr. As long as both McCaffrey and Robinson Jr. remain healthy, it appears unlikely that Guerendo's role in San Francisco's offense is going to change. Guerendo maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue saw a decrease in workload on Sunday during his team's 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The rookie was expected to see an increase in playing time in Week 6, but Dallas' ground game was relatively ineffective against Carolina's defense, prompting the team to air it out more. With backfield mate Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) set to miss the remainder of the season, Blue's role should grow as he becomes more comfortable on an NFL field. However, he doesn't figure to have much standalone value with Javonte Williams dominating touches and looking effective. For now, fantasy managers can consider the former Texas Longhorn a solid handcuff, but not a startable option with Williams in front of him.
