Isaac Guerendo News
Sunday, August 2, 11:29 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) appears to be making progress in his recovery from a torn pectoral muscle, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Guerendo suffered the injury while lifting weights during the offseason and opened training camp on the active/physically unable to perform list. Kyle Shanahan said in May that the third-year back could return near the end of camp, and Wagoner's observation is a welcome sign, though Guerendo has not yet been cleared to practice. He appeared in 14 games last season but played exclusively on special teams after rushing for 420 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie. Christian McCaffrey remains the clear starter, while rookie Kaelon Black has gained valuable reps with Guerendo sidelined and Jordan James dealing with fractured ribs. Guerendo still has time to work his way back into the competition for a reserve role, but his fantasy value will remain limited until he returns to practice and shows where he stands in the backfield.

Ollie Gordon II News
Monday, August 3, 11:06 AM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley believes running back Ollie Gordon II has the tools to stay on the field for all three downs, according to Cameron White. It is a notable vote of confidence in the second-year back, but it should not be viewed as a change at the top of the depth chart. De'Von Achane remains Miami's lead runner, while Gordon and Jaylen Wright are competing for work behind him. Gordon appeared in all 17 games as a rookie but finished with 199 yards and three touchdowns on 70 carries, averaging only 2.8 yards per attempt. He added seven catches for 32 yards and another score. At 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, Gordon gives the Dolphins a bigger option between the tackles, though he will need to show more efficiency to earn a steady role. Hafley's comments are encouraging, but Gordon still needs a strong camp to separate from Wright and establish dependable fantasy value.
