Isaac Guerendo

23-Year-Old Running BackRB
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.

The 49ers selected Guerendo in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 129th overall.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers traded up in the fourth to acquire Guerendo amid a positional run at running backs. While so many of Guerendo's draft-eligible counterparts saw their value plummet at the combine, the Louisville product posted the fastest 40 time among RBs (4.33) and impressive jumping marks to bolster what was an otherwise incomplete six-year collegiate career. That the 2018 high school recruit was buried behind a number of legitimate NFL caliber running backs at Wisconsin shouldn't scare off fantasy managers, but multiple season-ending soft-tissue injuries should at least raise some red flags. Provided he's able to stay healthy, Guerendo's speed will easily find a way onto the field for San Francisco, even if it's just on a limited basis.

Guerendo has a visit with the Chargers scheduled, Gavino Borquez of Chargers Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Guerendo had a strong 2023 season with Louisville after seeing little work across four years with Wisconsin. He wasn't a household name at the running back position as a result, but he has gained some momentum after posting an exceptional 4.33 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine -- including a 1.55 10-yard split. Guerendo is projected to be an early Day Three pick and has had pre-draft visits with the Texans, Colts and Kansas City.
