San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo suffered a foot injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-18 victory over the Chicago Bears.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed the injury in his postgame comments, noting the possibility of a foot sprain. However, the initial X-rays came back clean, which was an encouraging sign for the player and fantasy managers.
Guerendo downplayed the injury's severity, telling reporters after the game that he felt fine and that the team acted cautiously. While this is promising, fantasy managers will want to monitor updates closely as Shanahan provides more clarity in the coming days.

Is Isaac Guerendo Hurt? Injury Update for Week 15
The running back left Sunday's game late in the fourth quarter after putting together a standout performance. He rushed 15 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while adding two receptions for 50 yards.
His contributions were crucial for the 49ers, who were without both Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason. Shanahan's postgame remarks indicate that further evaluation will occur, but the absence of any fractures on X-rays is a positive development.

The rookie has stepped up when given opportunities, and Sunday's game was a testament to his potential. While he has expressed optimism about his availability moving forward, a potential foot sprain could still limit him during the week. The team will likely err on the side of caution.
Isaac Guerendo Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 15
Fantasy managers who invested heavily in the Louisville product were rewarded with a spectacular Week 14 performance, but his status for Week 15 remains uncertain. If Guerendo practices this week, he has a strong chance of suiting up, particularly given his own optimism about the injury.

He would score the TD on the next play as well!

Those relying on Guerendo should keep a close eye on injury reports and updates from Shanahan, who is expected to address the media on Monday. For now, the 24-year-old remains a must-monitor player, with his Week 15 availability hinging on the team's final evaluations of his foot injury.
