Who Should I Start? Isaac Guerendo or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, September 27, 5:08 AM

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.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is optimistic that running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) will be able to make his return in Week 6 on Thursday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. Tracy suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and has missed the last two games as a result. However, the 25-year-old has made good progress and was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week on Tuesday. It's good news for the Giants' offense as they take on a tough divisional opponent on a short week, but even if Tracy makes his return, fantasy managers will probably want to stay away. Rookie Cam Skattebo has taken over lead-back duties in the Big Apple. Tracy will still be involved when he's back, but he's likely to take on more of a secondary role, especially in his return.
