Isaac Guerendo Officially Active On Thursday Night
1 month agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) is officially active for Thursday night's divisional clash in Week 15 versus the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Guerendo suffered a mild foot sprain in the first start of his career in the Week 14 blowout win over the Chicago Bears but will be active on a short week. Before hurting his foot on Sunday, Guerendo had 15 carries for 78 yards (5.2 yards per tote) and two rushing touchdowns, also catching both of his targets for 50 yards through the air. The 24-year-old sure looked good in the lead-back role for San Fran with both Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out. Guerendo will likely be the Niners' lead back the rest of the season, although he'll certainly come with more risk on Thursday night and could share more of the backfield work with Patrick Taylor Jr. Consider Guerendo a volume-based RB3/flex in Week 15.
