Has MCL, ankle sprains
Guerendo has been diagnosed with MCL and ankle sprains in his left leg following an MRI on Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers' 2024 campaign is over, but the team's season finale included yet another RB injury. On only his second carry of Sunday's game, Guerendo had his left leg twisted under him as he was tackled, and he needed a cart to go to the locker room. While Guerendo did avoid a more serious ACL injury, he's still one of four San Francisco running backs who will enter the offseason focusing on rehab, along with Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring). Guerendo, a 2024 fourth-round pick, proved to be effective when given the chance as a rookie, turning 84 carries into 420 yards (5.0 YPC) and four touchdowns and hauling in 15 of 16 targets for 152 yards in 16 appearances.

A third-down back no more: Jaylen Warren should be the next starting runner in Pittsburgh with Najee Harris off to the Chargers.

Jerry Donabedian looks at rookies whose ADPs shifted after the NFL Scouting Combine, including some like Ashton Jeanty who didn't even go through workouts.

The popularity of Cincinnati stacks seems to be inflating ADPs for Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the full scoop, looking at early ADP results from two best-ball sites.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 4.33 40-yard time and a strong overall performance at the Combine launched Guerendo up draft boards, and the 49ers traded up in the fourth round to make sure they got the 221-pound speedster. Kyle Shanahan's offense is arguably the best in the league for a running back, especially one with game-breaking speed, though Guerendo figures to begin his career behind three-down workhorse Christian McCaffrey and the brittle Elijah Mitchell. Guerendo was never a lead back during his time at Wisconsin and Louisville, but he averaged 6.1 yards on 132 carries for the Cardinals last season and now becomes one of the fastest running backs in the NFL.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Set to be Niners' RB2
Guerendo is slated to serve as the 49ers' backup running back behind Christian McCaffrey for the 2025 season after Jordan Mason was traded to the Vikings on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Guerendo saw some meaningful work during his rookie campaign in 2024, including Week 14 against the Bears, when he rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries when both Mason and McCaffrey were out due to injury. Guerendo suffered MCL and ankle sprains in Week 18, but he's expected to be fully healthy for the 2025 season. With Mason now in Minnesota, Guerendo would stand to see a heavy workload if McCaffrey were to miss time.
