Isaac Guerendo - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Steps in for injured starter again Guerendo rushed 14 times for 85 yards and a touchdown while securing three of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over Dallas.

Impact Guerendo took over mid-game after Jordan Mason (shoulder) aggravated a nagging AC joint injury early in the contest. The 24-year-old Guerendo performed as he did the last time this scenario unfolded, which is one of the reasons the rookie was pegged a deep sleeper heading into drafts this year. The downside from a fantasy perspective is that San Francisco will observe its bye this upcoming week, and star running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) has a shot at returning in Week 10 against Tampa Bay. Guerendo still is worth looking at if he was dropped prior to Mason's activation Sunday, but be aware of CMC's status come Nov. 10.

Takes back seat with starter active Guerendo rushed once for two yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Guerendo was coming off of his best game as a pro last week (10-99-0), but the rookie took a back seat to Jordan Mason (shoulder) who was able to suit up after suffering a sprained AC joint against the Seahawks in Week 6. The 24-year-old Guerendo saw just two touches when the dust settled from Sunday's loss, fumbling on his lone carry despite not losing possession. With Mason handling his usual workload and Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) nearing a return, it appears that Guerendo can safely be returned to the waiver wire ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys.

Impressive in expanded role Guerendo rushed 10 times for 99 yards in the 49ers' 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie saw the most robust volume of his young career in the victory, as Jordan Mason's multiple exits from the game due to a shoulder injury left Guerendo as the lead back for all but one play in the second half. Guerendo had scuffled to just 23 yards on nine carries when he took the handoff on the opening play of the 49ers' final possession, a play on which he broke off a 76-yard run up the right side of the field that he nearly scored on. The rookie fourth-round pick was caught from behind but made sure his momentum didn't carry him into the end zone as he went down, forcing the Seahawks to burn two timeouts before Kyle Juszczyk scored a game-sealing six-yard touchdown. San Francisco has 10 days before a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20, but if neither Mason nor Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf) is able to suit up for that contest, Guerendo would be in line to serve as San Francisco's No. 1 back for that marquee battle.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 22 yards Guerendo rushed five times for 22 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 24-23 loss to Arizona.

Impact Guerendo backed up Jordan Mason (14-89-0) as the rookie had been through the previous four games this season. The 24-year-old Guerendo produced his highest rushing total of his young career while returning a kick for 32 yards in the upset loss. There isn't enough volume currently for the Louisville product to warrant fantasy consideration against the Seahawks on Thursday.

Season high 22 yards Guerendo rushed five times for 22 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 24-23 loss to Arizona.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fumbles lone touch on offense Guerendo lost a fumble on his lone carry Sunday, failing to gain any yards while earning zero targets in a blowout win over the Patriots.

Impact Guerendo had a nightmarish game that resulted in a negative fantasy score for anyone bold enough to play the sparsely-used backup against New England. In an effort to not be too harsh on the rookie, it should be noted that he gained 23 yards on San Francisco's only kickoff return attempt Sunday. While Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) mends on IR, it would take another injury to current starter Jordan Mason to give Guerendo fantasy value in standard leagues heading into a Week 5 tilt against Arizona next Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns five carries Sunday Guerendo rushed five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

Impact The five carries marked a new high-water mark for the rookie after receiving just one carry for no gain in his first two appearances with San Francisco. Guerendo was spelling fill-in starter Jordan Mason (19-77-0) Sunday, a situation which could repeat itself against the Patriots on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-round pick only warrants fantasy consideration in the event that Mason is unable to suit up in the coming weeks.

Earns five carries Sunday Guerendo rushed five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

Impact The five carries marked a new high-water mark for the rookie after receiving just one carry for no gain in his first two appearances with San Francisco. Guerendo was spelling fill-in starter Jordan Mason (19-77-0) on Sunday, a situation that could repeat itself against the Patriots on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No touches on 13 snaps Guerendo (groin) suited up for Monday's season opener against the Jets but did not record a touch in the 32-19 win.

Impact Guerendo made the 49ers' 53-man roster but was battling a groin injury heading into Week 1. The fourth-round pick out of Louisville got the green light and would up logging 10 snaps on special teams and three on offense. Starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) did not suit up for this contest, affording fellow backup Jordan Mason (28/147/1) to go off against the Jets. Guerendo appears to be next in line should San Francisco need a runner behind CMC or Mason this season.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to suit up in season opener Guerendo (groin) practiced in full Saturday and doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's Week 1 contest against the Jets.

Impact Guerendo was a limited participant in each of San Francisco's first two practices of the week after missing all of last week due to a groin injury. He is in line to make his NFL debut Monday, though, after returning to a full practice session Saturday. Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) is listed as questionable for the opener against the Jets but has stated that he's definitely suiting up, so Guerendo will likely see limited work in the running game behind the star tailback and backup Jordan Mason.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Guerendo (groin) remained limited in practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury and then hurt his groin in late August a week after returning to practice. With Christian McCaffrey (calf) on track to play and Guerendo having taken very few practice reps this summer, there's not much chance of Guerendo having a significant role Week 1 even if he ends up being healthy enough to play.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week as limited participant Guerendo (groin) is practicing on a limited basis Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Guerendo spent the early portion of training camp sidelined due to a hamstring injury, and he then tweaked his groin after returning for San Francisco's preseason finale. The rookie fourth-round pick will have two more chances to upgrade to full participation in practice ahead of Monday's regular-season opener against the Jets. Meanwhile, top running back Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) will also be limited Thursday, though he's expected to be available Week 1.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tweaks groin in practice Guerendo tweaked his groin Monday and won't practice this week, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact After missing training camp and most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, Guerendo returned for San Francisco's final exhibition and took 13 touches for 35 yards in a 24-24 tie with the Raiders. His depth chart standing seemingly improved despite all the missed time this summer, as long-time No. 2 running back Elijah Mitchell was placed on season-ending injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that will require surgery. Jordan Mason now figures to enter Week 1 as the No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey, leaving Guerendo to focus on kickoff returns for the time being. Shanahan said Guerendo could be back at practice as soon as next week, meaning the rookie isn't ruled out for a Week 1 matchup with the Jets on Monday Night Football.

Healthy amount of action Guerendo (hamstring) rushed 11 times for 32 yards and caught both of his targets for three yards in Friday's preseason tilt against Las Vegas.

Impact Guerendo returned from a hamstring injury that cost the fourth-round pick two games of action this exhibition season. The Louisville product didn't post gaudy rushing numbers in his 49ers debut, but he had an electric kickoff return of 93 yards that fell just short of pay dirt. Guerendo currently sits behind veteran backups Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason on the depth chart, but the 6-foot, 221-pound rookie has the physical tools to profile as a fantasy prospect should he survive the impending roster cuts ahead the Sep. 27 deadline.

Returning to practice Guerendo (hamstring) will retake the practice field Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Guerendo's hamstring injury has sidelined him more than three weeks, but coach Kyle Shanahan said he could have a chance to make his preseason debut Friday versus the Raiders. Given that all of Christian McCaffrey (calf), Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Jordan Mason (hip) are currently nicked up, Guerendo seems in line to immediately face an opportunity for valuable reps in his return to the practice field. The rookie fourth-round pick seems to be competing with Mitchell, Mason, Patrick Taylor and Cody Schrader for a depth role behind McCaffrey.

Hopeful to practice this week Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday he's "hopeful" Guerendo (hamstring) will be able to resume practicing this week and potentially play in Friday's preseason finale against the Raider...

Impact Guerendo has missed more than three weeks of training camp, including San Francisco's first two preseason games, due to a hamstring injury sustained July 24. The rookie fourth-round will be in position to receive valuable reps if he's indeed able to return this week, with all of Christian McCaffrey (calf), Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Jordan Mason (hip) nursing injuries of their own. Friday's exhibition matchup against the Raiders represents Guerendo's last chance to log game reps before the 49ers take on the Jets in Week 1 on Sept. 09.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to miss time Guerendo is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks due to the hamstring injury he sustained last week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Based on Schefter's report, it seems likely that the rookie fourth-rounder will be unavailable for the 49ers' preseason opener, at a minimum. Once he's back in the mix, Guerendo will compete with Jordan Mason, Patrick Taylor and Cody Schrader for backfield slotting behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injures hamstring Guerendo (hamstring) departed Wednesday's training camp practice early, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Guerendo suffered an injury of undisclosed severity on the first day of camp, with coach Kyle Shanahan saying the team will need to evaluate his status further, per Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site. That constitutes a tough start for the rookie speedster, who is working to carve out a role behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell. Guerendo dealt with recurring soft-tissue injuries in college, so his recovery will warrant close monitoring.
