Welcome to our fantasy football lineups, Mr. Rookie Isaac Guerendo! The San Francisco 49ers feel like they are fighting a losing battle at this point in the season, looking completely out of sync with a busted quarterback (shoulder) and having lost two of their best offensive weapons of the year in Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey , who suffered a season-ending PCL injury during Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

The bad news kept coming as it was announced that RB2 Jordan Mason would be heading to IR on Monday with an injury of his own. That means this is the next man in San Francisco – a chance for fantasy football managers to snag a potential league winner.
Guerendo offers exactly the type of athletic profile that has historically thrived in Kyle Shanahan’s system: a fast profile! Guerendo posted a 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine despite his large frame (6-foot-1, 221 pounds) and has a fairly unique blend of agility that isn’t common for his size. Suddenly, he’s in the mix to be a potential league winner with his newfound workload… as long as the Niners can get their offense back on track under Kyle Shanahan.
Find out how high Guerendo landed in our Week 14 running back rankings for half-PPR scoring league formats for what will likely be his first NFL start:
